Honda Racing UK has unveiled their 2022 Bennetts British Superbike Championship livery, celebrating a milestone anniversary within the history of the Fireblade.
The wraps came off the Honda Racing contender with this year presenting a huge milestone for the Honda Racing UK team. 2022 marks the 30th Anniversary of the iconic Fireblade, which is represented on the livery of the teams’ CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP machines, as well as the rider leathers throughout the season. The new season also marks a new team sponsorship agreement with Motul.
Havier Beltran, Honda Racing UK Team Manager, said: “2022 is an exciting season for the team; and as well as celebrating 30 years of the Fireblade, we’re welcoming Motul as a new sponsor, which is the first time for us in the British Championship. Motul have a great pedigree on the Roads, as well as numerous successes across two-wheel motorsport, and we’re looking forward to getting the season underway and working with the team there.”
Neil Fletcher, Head of Motorcycles, Honda UK commented: “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 BSB. We have a busy few months ahead with testing starting soon, the BSB championship on the near horizon.”
Günter Steven, Head of Sales Export Motul Deutschland said: "As one of the leading motorbike manufacturers in the United Kingdom, Honda trusts our premium range of high-performance lubricants and motorcycle care products as well as our sales concepts for their dealer network - we are very pleased about this and it is a solid basis on which we will build a successful cooperation.
“The fact that we also share the same values on top of that, as well as a great commitment to motorsport, offers both of us the perfect basis for a long-term partnership. We can't wait to merge our collective knowledge and experience in both trade and motorsport to create a great synergy together."
