When you think of Honda, what rider comes to mind?

Not only these three, but this exact picture for me.

JMB and MC1

 Of course it depends on the era people grew up in as to who epitomizes the Honda brand. Looking back through the history of the sport it is hard to find someone that inspired more and was idolized by more then Marty Smith and was synonymous with Honda.

Windham.

Dude goes "I think of me" when you think about professional motocross icons.

Whoever thumbs downs magoo ain’t right in the head NOT COOL

No DUDE just sharing a pic of a Honda in a Honda discussion you are putting words in my mouth I suggest you go review the listing guidelines man no disrespect intended though 

Exactly. Guy who has one of the greatest rides in MX history... when I think of Magoo, it is Honda. 

It's not one rider for me.  It's the 80s Honda teams of O'Mara, Bailey, Hannah, Magoo, The Machine before he was The Dogger, RJ, Micky Dymond, Hansen, Gibson, Shue, and the others.  Before that, Marty Smith.  Amongst them, I liked Bailey and he's the one that made me want a Honda, with JT gear.  But I can't narrow "Honda" down to one rider like I can Suzuki (Barnett).  Even with Yamaha, I think of Hannah and Glover.

Thanks man and I agree with Moth Honda WAS the 80s

Ezra lusk 1998 with the bitchin fox gear 

Windham, Hanny and Josh Sheehan.

Stanton, Kdub,  RJ,  Canard, McGrath, 

Bob Hannah 

RC I always associate with kawi or Suzuki for some reason.  McGrath was for sure Honda, but he spent a lot of time on yami that stick in my head also.  

Marty Smith    

First RJ then Smitty

Chuck Sun

Marty was cool in my youth.

Amazing the list of riders that Honda has employed.

Nice pic! 

MC for me

Rick Johnson of course

i always want Hondas because of RJ.  

Strange how many have said Hannah. It just goes to show it's all about how old you are. For anyone my age, Marty wasn't so much a guy who rode a Honda as he was Honda incarnate, and Hannah wasn't so much a guy who rode a Yamaha as he was Yamaha incarnate. A Honda Elsinore was what you rode if you wanted to be like Marty (stylish and friendly); and a Yamaha YZ125 was what you rode if you wanted to be the brash, arrogant, cocky m-f-er that beat that friendly smile off those stylish Honda riders' faces.

For a while I hated Hannah more than I hated any other person on Earth, but over time (once he started riding a Honda) he grew on me.

RJ or Bailey

Born in 88. Following the sport most of my life. When I think of Honda, I think of KDub

1800 collect McGrath

McGrath from the Peak days thru ‘96. No one in supercross history dominated like he did during that stretch. All time.
