Overall rating: 3 out of 5

I Superbiker - The Showdown' - the high octane, all action, nail-biting wheel to wheel story of the 2011 British Superbike season which saw the most exciting final race in its history - arguably the most exciting motorcycle race of all time. A new electrifying format for 2011, which left only 6 riders competing for the title in a series of dramatic showdowns: Japanese Ryuichi Kiyonari reigning champion, - beset with personal problems as he attempts to defend his crown. Bad boy Australian Josh Brookes - runner up in 2010 and determined to battle his way to the top, no matter what. Ex BSB champ, Shane 'Shakey' Byrne - fans' favourite and all round good guy, desperate to regain the crown... more » for prides sake. Michael Laverty - the Irish Flyer aiming to put his stamp on the title for his country. Ex Moto GP star John Hopper Hopkins - back to racing after overcoming his personal demons and substance abuse problems, is the first American with a realistic chance of winning the title... and British hero Tommy Hill - who so spectacularly lost the title in 2010 by one small error, and absolutely determined to prove himself the British Superbike champion. With the Champion decided on the final lap of the final round, this is I, Superbiker 2: The Showdown.

Most helpful review I, Superbiker 2 - The Showdown

The clue is in the title.

[Highly rated reviewer]

Let's be honest, if you don't follow British Superbikes, or have any interest in motorcycle racing, this film isn't for you.

For those that do, then this film is pretty much what you would expect, essentially a 2011 season review but with extra attention to the top riders fighting for the championship.

Unlike the previous film which followed the entire season, this film concentrates on the build up to the final three races, hence the 'showdown' in the title, and captures the tension of the final race beautifully.

The usual highlights, interviews and team footage in a race documentary that's as good as any other race documentary.

Good, could be better

By Nen (28 reviews) from Bristol , 09 Jan 2013

Good film & the final showdown is exciting, even though you know the result. What lets it down is the decision to show grainy lo-res shots of all the actual races. The rest of the film is sharp & crispy

Second film, twice as good as the first

By Frank2012 (5 reviews) , 03 Jan 2013

I wasn't sure about bothering to watch this after not really enjoying the first film. Glad I did. Loads better in build up to final round. Good background. Well worth a watch.

Great documentary

By Greatgee (1 review) , 13 Aug 2012

I'm not a biker, but I love motorsport.

What an excellent insight into one of the personalities of the sport.

The coverage of the TT event was also very very good.

Seriously considering buying myself a copy to watch over and over again.
