Coming out of the alternator yes it does. The bike's electric system (except HT leads etc) is 12volts though - hence the use of a 12v battery. The Reg./Rect. helps to convert the (IMO) massive voltage and AC current to a more bulb-friendly DC one.

Don't believe me, try sticking an LED to a HT lead & see how long it lasts.... :P
