Heat is THE biggest problem.
In comparison with an automobile: A dirt bike, the fuel lines are short, the fuel tank sits right on top of the heat source.
An automobile has multiple injectors, therfore the fuel flow is greater, cooling the fuel rails and injectors off.

Vapor lock on cars have really not being an issue, until lately. More and more cars have direct injection engines. Vapor lock is rearing its ugly head again.
