Superbike 2001

Roaring down the road at 190mph takes bravery, but doing it on two wheels powered by a 170-horsepower engine takes a special kind of courage. You have to lean your motorcycle so hard into turns that you're barely hovering off the pavement. You pray that you don't accelerate too hard out of a turn, causing your bike to slip, suddenly regain grip, and then smack you headfirst into the pavement. For world-class superbike riders, these thrills are commonplace. And the speed, danger, and daring of world-class motorcycle racing have been captured superbly in Superbike 2001, the latest entry in EA Sports' series of motorcycle sims.

Created by Italian developer Milestone Studios, Superbike 2001 is a fully featured, licensed simulation. All 13 circuits from the 2000 SBK Superbike World Championship season are represented in the game, as are all the factory riders and bikes from seven manufacturers: Ducati, Aprilia, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and now Bimota. The 2001 edition also adds the Oschersleben, Imola, and Valencia circuits. Milestone has taken pains to faithfully re-create the superbike scene, from the unique scenery along each track, to the umbrella girls shading the riders on the starting grid, to the smallest logos of actual sponsors on the riders' leathers. However, this is only the beginning of the game's attention to realism and authenticity.
