Honda Motorcycles UK choose Motul

From 2022 onwards Motul will be added to the Honda UK (HUK) range of lubricants and motorcycle care range in their dealerships throughout the UK – capitalising on HUK’s racing activities along the way.

An initial 3 years agreement allows the Motul brand to showcase itself at UK short circuits and road racing events at the highest level, outlining its shared “Race to Road” philosophy.

Honda is fielding an unprecedented four ‘factory’ riders in BSB, with reigning Superstock 1000 champion Tom Neaves competing alongside established BSB race winner Glenn Irwin and two Japanese riders, Takumi Takahashi and Ryo Mizuno – all supported by HRC.

Irwin and long-time Motul brand ambassador (and 23-times IOM TT winner) John McGuiness will race on the roads. Irwin is no stranger to road racing, having won at the Macau GP also having taken four North West 200 Superbike race wins in recent years.

2022 is an eventful year for Honda.  It’s the 20th year in BSB, the 70^th year at the IOM TT and the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP’s 30th birthday. John McGuiness also turns 50 this year and 2022 is set to be his 100th start at the IOM TT. Motul 300V, the only oil officially accredited by HRC for use with their Fireblade Race kits, celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2021.
