The top riders get a decent salary, typically it can range from 350K well into the millions a year. If they win at the races, from sponsors, prize money and contingency money they can make up to 50-100K a race on top of that.

If they win a championship they can earn an easy million dollars bonus.

2010 Ryan Dungey made over around 6-7 million from Suzuki and Sponsors for winning the supercross and Motocross championship.

A year ago a privater racing a Kawasaki KX450 winning a outdoor national (1-1) finish would had made 54K just from the winnings not including the sponsor money.
Top riders that race for a Factory team, i.e. Yamaha - Suzuki.... etc. i.e. James Stewart, Chad Reed .....earn in excess of $ 3 million per year. Others may make just enough to survive. That is why racers always thank their sponsors on camera.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
