The French MotoGP over the weekend would no doubt argue your point and disagree.....

The 2024 Michelin® Grand Prix de France put on an incredible show right to the final lap, and a record-breaking crowd was there to see it. An awe-inspiring 297,471 fans flocked to historic Le Mans across the weekend, making it the highest-attended Grand Prix in history.

Obviously Grand Prix refers to bikes, I presume history refers to the MotoGP era. ie 2002 on.
The weekend record was over 20,000 up on the previous record which incidentally was set last year. (ie Both previous and current records set post Rossi retiring.)
