Well many pro MX racers have been fairly successful going the other way from MX into various types of auto racing with much less of a learning curve than one might expect. Jeff Ward (Indy cars), Travis Pastrana (rally cars), Bob "Hurricane" Hannah (Reno air racing in modified P51 mustangs.. oops, not auto), Jeremy McGrath (off road trucks), to name a few. Many of these guys, thru someone they knew, were allowed to try it and low and behold, many were pretty fast pretty quick! I am biased, but Motocross at a professional level requires incredible natural talent, incredible feel for what the machine is telling you and without a doubt nerves of steel.
If the guy has rode bikes all his life and is physically fit, I might just be inclined to believe that sometimes it COULD work the other way.
