I'm dowloading it from www.digitalsports.com

Here's the scoop for those who are wondering what's the difference
between this demo and the previous one (besides the size):

"Superbike World Championship Demo (47.3MB)

EA Sports has released a demo of a title that *** Interactive was
working on prior to their buyout, and we have it for you right here at
Digital Sportspage. Mind you, it's a very big download (almost 50MB),
and it will take a long time to transfer (2 hours at v90 speeds).

This playable demo provides a taste of the full game, allowing you to
race a three lap ACTION race at Monza on Carl Fogarty's Ducati 916,
against 7 computer controlled riders. You can also view the setup
options and telemetry monitor available in the Simulation mode of the
full game.

The graphics options and control setup can be tuned to best suit your
computer's performance and your own controller preferences.

See our digital press kit for more information."

I will download the demo and let you know what I think (if you're
interested!)

I just finished trying out the new demo. The main reason why it's so big
is because Ea decided to include a video intro (which is quite beautiful
but probably pretty big). The demo is version 2.0 and there's a
difference with the old version. No, you still can't race in simulation
mode, but the biggest concern was address: the controls. They are a lot
less sluggish than in the other demo. Now, you can easily do the
left-right combo when driving through the chicanes. My only problem was
that my wheel (a TM Grand prix 1) had to be turned all the way to the
right or left in order to be able to make it through turns (something I
never do with other sims). But I really like the fact that the
responsiveness of the controls is improved. This game is gonna be great!
When you hit another cyclist, he makes angry gestures! (at least I think
that's what I saw before he was catapulted of his motocycle!).

Don't see many bikes now days with steering wheels!!!!

True... but what type of controller do you suggest? a joypad (like the
one you use to play Playstation games) or a joystick? Until they make a
controller that works specially for bike sims, I think a wheel is the
best controller. How else can you control the gas and brake?
