Same reason they don't advertise paragliders or escalators...

Too much cost for advertising that might only have 1% of the viewers actually being the advert target

There are, Watch Eurosport, whilst the MotoGP, WSB or BSB is on.

Suzuki advertise quite heavily during the ad breaks. Perfect place for it, advertise directly to your target audience...

Is it me or is the Suzuki Ad including the Gladius during the motogp, the gayest ad ever?

+1. KTM used to have adverts quite regularly during TT, BSB, etc. coverage. KTM incidentally also make the best (and least responsible)adverts of all marques.
