Probably the rat racer has optimized his torque, and tire grip already from years of experience, while the Jap bike is equipped with traction control (not sure if it is, but could be), which is tuned for stock tires in the rain, not track tires on dry ground.
Do the same race in the rain, and the RAT racer is at a disadvantage (for skidding/burnout due to too fast acceleration).
