Do you want to tell the manufacturers they are wasting their marketing dollars?

Suzuki won 7 out of 12 450 titles from 2005-2010, didn't help them much.

Honda didn't win a 450 title for 20 years, their sales are OK.

So the manufacturers are wasting their money paying riders race and championship win bonuses!

No.  They are still trying to win, but actually winning makes little to no difference to their marketing over the long term.

Congrats to Jett Lawrence, best rider on the best bike of 2023, absolute dominance for Team HRC. Can't wait to see what Honda has in store...

Best bike based on what? Jett winning? He would have won on a Suzuki

He's paid by Honda's marketing department to sell Hondas!

So was rc on suzuki.  Never helped sales.

LOL, you know there's only 22 motos this year, so 24-0 is not possible!

I would not call SMX wins as part as the Nationals.

It is a different series, a different format. So 25-0, as a purist I don't think we can speak about that.

But technically Jett can also go 44-0 or whatever, he can still potentially beat RC 31-0 streaks ; if Jett does this perfect season, there will be quite some hype at the opening of next one.

SMX is a two-moto format.

Not to derail the thread but V8 Supercars worked because the most popular family cars were racing... It might frustrate people but I really think they...

It might frustrate people but I really think they need to look at what is selling in Australia and cater to that... but sadly its dual cab utes and SUV's - they tried a dual cab ute series and it was so stupid.  The 3 most popular non SUV's from 2022 was the Corolla but that only sold 25,000 vehicles compared to the Commodore in 2002 which sold 88,000 vehicles...

I feel there will never be another time or place in history where the Taxi, the fleet vehicle, the family car, the aspirational vehicle, the race car, the burnout car and the tow vehicle where all the same vehicle...  The bloody holden commodore...

 

Or, AU coon.

He can go 22-3- 2-0 so 27-00 if he wins his MXON motos, wins out at Ironman and cleans up SMX.

True, but if he sweeps Ironman but doesn't win everything at SMX or MXdN, technically the streak will still be alive and kicking.
