Honda Withdraws from AMA Superbike Racing - AMA Pro Road Racing 2009 News - Motorcycle USA
American Honda announced today that they will not participate in next season’s AMA/DMG American Superbike championship. Honda cited, “current AMA/DMG racing environment does not align with our company goals,” as the reason for its withdrawal.
This season, Honda fielded a factory-supported effort racing under the Corona Extra Honda team with riders Neil Hodgson and Jake Holden riding 2009 Honda CBR1000RRs. It’s unknown if Honda will continue to participate in the Daytona SportBike class as they did this year with Erion Honda riders Chris Peris and Jake Zemke aboard 2009 Honda CBR600RRs. With Honda out of the series one can only assume that other major players including Suzuki and Kawasaki might also be abandoning the series.
