GP500 seems to be more realistic, handling-wise, and the online play is
superior. With SBK2000, you're lucky if two of you can hook up, but you can
get 6 online with GP500. Having said all that, I'd really like SBK to be the
better game, simply because it looks so beautiful, and runs like a charm, so
dependent on your wishes (on- or offline) you make your choice as you see
it.

I'm actually playing with an old CH Mach1 joystick, using the smart shifting
option (one button to change up or down, depending on whether you're
accelerating or braking), and the game feels for all the world like the
original Grand Prix/World Circuit with killer graphics and only two wheels.
GP500 is what I turn to when I don't feel up to the challenge of GPL, but
still want something more than arcade racing. The tracks are very well
modeled (though the graphics aren't quite up to SBK2000, they're still
gorgeous), and I really enjoy hotlapping with the "ghost rider".

I have downloaded the demo of SBK2000 and am not to impressed, I really
liked the original game though!
GP500 is an excellent Sim, read my review on www.simhq.com if you like.

This is a very fine Motorcycle Racing Sim.
Perhaps the best yet for the PC ?
