Japanese mfgs. use racing as R&D to constantly improve their sport and MX bikes. When is the last time you saw NASCAR technology "advancements" show up in their production cars?
The old "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" adage no longer holds much water, esp. since NASCAR cars bear such little resemblance to production cars these days.
