I thought it was interesting at actually how low the hours that they actually do at the races. I "NO" its not necessary but it shows that a racer could easily race the whole SX season on just one race bike.
Open/Qualifying Practices: 3 sessions x 10 laps x 1 minute
Heat race: 8 laps x 1 minute
Main: 20 laps x 1 minute
Total time per race = 58 Minutes
Total per sx season: 17 races x 58 minutes = 16 hours and 26 minutes
Outdoors is a totally different beast....

but, yeah.
And "no" I don't think those motors would last an entire season in the hands of your average pro.
Suspension, bearings, bushings... those things get absolutely hammered on a supercross track in very short order.
