The new livery coincides with the team agreeing to a new 🍸sponsorship deal with oil company Motul. 

The new BSB livery will also be used by all factory Honda riders who are competing o𒆙n the road racing scene too.

“Motul has a great pedigree on the Roads, a𓄧s well as numerous successes across two-wheel motorsport, and we’re looking forward to getting the season underway and working with the team there.”

As stated abo🐭ve, Honda Racing UK will have four riders competing in BSB, which is the most for any team on the grid. 

Along with Tom Neave who’s making the step-up from Pirelli National Superstock where he was crowned champion in 2021, the team has retained Glenn Irwin and🌸 Japanese riders Takumi Takahashi and Ryo Mizuno.

Head of Honda Motorcycles UK, Neil Fletcher also s꧙aid: “We are delighted to announce a new working partnership with Motul this year. They have a wealth of success across many motorsport series around the world and I have been impressed by their passion and professionalism. 

“It’s great to form 🦩a new partnership together in such an important and special year as the Fireblade celebrates its 30th Anniversary in both BSB and the Roads. 

“We have a busy few months ahead with testing starting soon, the BSB championship on the near horizon and we can’t wait to꧙ head back to Northern Ireland for the NW200 and then quickly on to the 🍌TT with Glenn making his first start and John his 100th!”
