Overated
Formula One - I've watched F1 for years, in the later Schumacher years (Ferrari) I remember it being really quite good. Rules and regulations along with a recent Red Bull domination have made it thoroughly boring in my opinion.
I'm impressed by the cars and the odd race I admit will always be worth watching, like Monte Carlo etc. However the majority of the season is just a procession. The odd challenge from Mercedes GP, Lotus and Ferrari have made the races i've seen just about bearable. The fact you now have to get Sky to watch all of the races must annoy the odd F1 fan also. Sorry Bernie.
Underated
Moto gp - I'm biased. If you want to completely ignore this feel free. I love Moto GP. Ever since F1 pushed me away with it's monotonous viewing i've been watching more and more Moto gp. I'm hooked.
The rivalry between the World Champ Lorenzo and the God that is Valentino Rossi has been thrilling to watch. Throw in Casey stoner (few years ago), Pedrosa (Honda) and the newbie Marquez (Honda) and every season just gets better and better. British rider Cal Crutchlow has really improved british interest in the sport recently and Bradley Smith is one to look out for (both on Yamaha tech 3's).
The mix of dangerous overtaking, 220 mph on a bike and no team orders make for the best motor sport i've ever seen. It's in the nature of this sport that injuries occur, but the death of rider Marco Simoncelli shocked the sport. Everyone was touched and i'm sure some riders had a long think about the risks involved. But they carry on going 220 mph because they love it. Well so do I.
