Honda UK has a strong history in the British Superbike Championship and in 2003 this team became Honda Racing. The following year, with ongoing sponsorship from HM Plant, the team enjoyed backing from the Honda Racing Corporation with the provision of full factory support for their CBR1000RR Fireblades.

Michael Rutter took six victories to finish as runner-up in 2004, while Ryuichi Kiyonari was sixth overall in the series. The following season, the Japanese rider won a dozen times, but inconsistency cost him the title and he was forced to settle for second.

Kiyonari returned in 2006 and a dominant performance secured him the crown, which he repeated for the second consecutive season in 2007, heading off the challenge of team-mate Jonathan Rea in the final standings.

In 2008 it was an all new squad with Leon Haslam joining Cal Crutchlow after Kiyonari and Rea moved on to the World Superbike Championship. Crutchlow immediately made an impact at the opening round, with his maiden BSB win coming at the first race event at Thruxton. Haslam had a charge as the season progressed and was able to secure second in the standings by the final round, just ahead of team-mate Crutchlow.

For 2009 it was all change again for the Louth-based team with 2008 British Supersport champion Glen Richards lining up alongside Josh Brookes who moved from the World Supersport Championship to BSB. Brookes finished his maiden BSB season fourth in the overall standings, taking ten podium finishes despite missing several races. Richards was also forced to miss races after crashing and breaking his femur at Knockhill; he ended the season twelfth overall. At the rounds Brookes and Richards were unable to race several other riders lined up for the BSB team including Steve Plater, Steve Brogan, Karl Muggeridge, John McGuinness and Kiyonari.

In 2009 Steve Plater lifted the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship title in HM Plant Honda colours, whilst Brogan and McGuinness finished second and third respectively in the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship for the Padgetts Honda team.

For 2010 the team have resigned Brookes for a second consecutive season and he will be joined by the teams former double BSB champion Kiyonari who returns to the domestic action from the World Superbike Championship. 

In the 2010 BSB support classes Richards returns to the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship in a bid to secure a second consecutive title for Honda UK. He will joins the Padgetts Honda team and will also be competing in the National Superstock 1000 Championship alongside McGuinness. Plater will also be running in this class in HM Plant colours.
