There aren't enough people riding bikes, or interested in motorbike racing to make the jump from niche to mainstream. Cars are a completely different ball game. I'd compare it to football versus waterpolo. Most people don't swim, although in some parts many do. Even if the game is more competitive in the latter, and you don't have the cheating and theatrics that go with the former, one is heads and shoulders above in popularity. It'll take many years to grow the new fanbase. F1 was always the glamorous racing series. Bikes were and are for those select few who 'just put on their balls and go'.</blockquote>
