He's somewhat successful, hardly a household name but not unsuccessful.

From Wikipedia (and he's already the twice British SBK champion),

"In 2008 Ryuichi Kiyonari made his Superbike World Championship debut, having reached an agreement with the World Champion team, Ten Kate Honda, to partner Carlos Checa and Kenan SofuoÄŸlu.

In the second race at Monza, Kiyonari nearly had his first SBK win. Kiyonari was in front as they braked for the final entry into the Parabolica but went wide on the exit and Noriyuki Haga and Max Neukirchner edged him out - Haga for the win and Neukirchner claiming second by a gap of just .009. Kiyonari finished third with a gap of .051, his first Superbike podium. His first two wins came at Brands Hatch, beating Troy Bayliss in race 1 and Noriyuki Haga in race 2. He briefly led the very next race at Donington Park, but fell on lap 2. However, he did win the second race in very wet conditions, visibly sliding the rear end of his bike on many occasions. Kiyonari broke his collarbone in a testing crash at Magny Cours, 2 weeks prior to the event, meaning he missed the race. For 2009, Kiyo will stay with the Ten Kate Honda team, partnering Carlos Checa, and Jonathan Rea."

Holy crap.... How does he not win more races riding like that?

This isn't the type of balanced riding that brings results.Each wheel spin upsets the suspension and flow.When you're going fast a single slip means tumble.This riding is far from being fast on the race..

Still sponsors are happy and we get a nice spectacle!!
