"I've got two options in MotoGP with reasonable teams, but I don't think with the way the championship is and the rules in place, these teams aren't going to be teams that are going to challenge for victories week in and week out," he said in an interview for the Sunshine Coast Daily.
"One's the second Ducati team. The motorbikes are the same as their factory team, but it hasn't proven an easy bike to ride for anyone except Casey Stoner. The other is a new team that's coming into the championship. I decided a few months ago I wasn't going to stay at Suzuki next year. I let them know quite early because they've been good to me."
Vermeulen said he would expect a good performance in case he'll move to Superbike and expressed his confidence that he'd have the ability to compete for the title.
"I'm also seriously considering some World Superbikes options and I've got offers from three or four manufacturers to be a factory rider," he added. "I believe if I go with one of these [World Superbikes offers] I can seriously challenge to win races and hopefully the title."
"I've said to my management whatever I get on, and I don't expect to go on any bike at world championship level and win every week, but I want to be on a package that gives me the opportunity to show my potential and race where I think I should be, which is up the front."
