How many of those "legit title" winners are 66 years old? If they held those races for a field of 2/3s of a century old riders instead of roughly 1/3 or less, that parts bin stuff might well be seen on winning bikes. (And with high enough prize money and advertising, the big three parts manufacturers would be back in the triple business!)
