You know what thats the most valid point you've made in this entire thread. Nascar fans don't see the busch series as a waste of time and engergy cause its still a car making left hand turns for the race distance. So they are content to call that racing, same as their beloved Nascar. The art behind any sportbike road racing event are the high speeds, cornering dragging a knee and existing the corner faster than they entered. Thats what we all wish to accomplish and thats why we enjoy watching sportbike road racing. There is no art form behind going around in a circle for hours (Nascar racing), and thats exactly what a Harley XR1200 class will be lacking and won't bring to the table of an AMA road race. Bogging down the back straight...still bogging down the back straight...heavy on the brakes...entering turn... you get my point. Take the MOTO GT class they conjured up this season, Fuckin Lame, may have not been so bad if they weren't out there for two hours. Who was watching them for more than 10 mins anyways? We didn't pay for that and alot of people simply decided not to pay for that this year at Mid-O and other ama events. In the past there was more track time from bikes we actually wanted to watch even if they were just practicing. With a harley class added there will be even less track time for the bikes we pay to see and will result in a even bigger drop in attendance. Keep the harleys on the dirt tracks.
