Should MotoGP bikes be more restricted like NASCAR?

Fortunately with racing motorcycles the style and skill of the rider have a much greater effect in the overall performance than just using the same engines, chassis ect.

Moto2 is a prime example of how you can use the same engine and ecu and get different results thanks partially to open chassis rules but the different rider styles and abilities seem to come out at each circuit.

Not saying that a NASCAR driver doesnt have tracks that his style favors, I am just saying that if that driver has a shit set up that weekend it wont matter how well he wheels a car, someone with the right set up will beat him.

I raced dirt track ovals in cars for about 7-8 years and there is only so much you can do with the car if you miss the set up, usually only about two lines thru a corner thanks to the heavy wide nature of the cars. You can hustle the thing a little but physics takes over eventually.

Bikes have a broader spectrum of lines, styles, and even when you get on a guys bike that owns the lap record, if you dont have his style his set up isnt going to agree but you can still hustle it once you find out how to agree with it (ala Stoner and the Ducati).
