Honda’s racing legacy has driven the company to greatness since its inception. Over the 38-year history of AMA Motocross and Supercross, Honda has won more races and championships than any other manufacturer.
American Honda won its first national motocross title in 1973 when Gary Jones piloted Honda’s first production motocrosser, the CR250M Elsinore, to a championship. Honda came back the following year to win a second 250cc title with Jones, and captured the AMA’s first 125cc title with Marty Smith aboard Honda’s first 125cc motocross bike, the CR125M Elsinore.
Since this amazing beginning, American Honda motocross teams have won a record 58 national Motocross, Supercross and Women’s Motocross championships. Beyond that, Honda riders have won 15 of the last 27 AMA Supercross championships, including nine Supercross titles in a row, and recorded two perfect Motocross seasons. No other team comes close to this impressive achievement.
