I've wondered about that myself. It may be possible that the alternator (electrical generator) assembly also needs cooling to maintain regularity of output and efficiency of operation.
Automobile alternators are usually belt driven and air cooled, located outside the engine. Since this is not possible in a motorcycle engine due to reasons of simple design and streamlined manufacturing, oil cooling may be the best way to go.
