Check out this huge announcement by Honda Japan.

If there is one thing Honda don’t like, its getting beaten and the current run by the Red Bull KTM Factory team has made Honda look seriously at the FIM World Motocross Championships.



In his annual global motorsports address today, which outlined all of Honda’s factory motorsport programmes for 2014, Honda President Takanobu Ito announced that Honda is further increasing its support in the FIM Motocross World Championship.

Honda crf450 and pipe coming out from "old" side of motor again. Should give better flow through because airbox is this side anyway. Of course with hydraulic clutch which Honda US is not using anymore because different feel out of gate.

About damn time Honda got off their pompous butts & started to race again. I would dearly love to see HRC build back the Honda brand to the glory days of the 80's both in the GP's and here in the States. In my opinion, Team Red has gone from the top to the bottom here as far as being anything close to what some of us old dudes used to call the "Dream Team".

Understand. It is a great photo and obvious his form is more for the photo shoot than racing. I was just trying to be humorous.
