Honda is back in the thick of MotoAmerica, and they’re not just dipping a toe—they’re diving in headfirst. With the razor-sharp Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP as their weapon of choice, Honda’s 2025 campaign spans three classes, led by Real Steel Honda Racing.
Hayden Gillim, the Kentucky-bred racer with Hayden lineage in his blood, is taking the Fireblade to the Superbike class, while JD Beach tackles Stock 1000 and the Superbike Cup. Real Steel isn’t just racing; they’re out to prove that Honda still belongs at the top.

Meanwhile, over in Missouri, Jones Honda is putting their faith in Ashton Yates—another racer with racing royalty in his veins.
Fresh off a Superbike Cup title, Yates is gunning for more, backed by a rock-solid support system and a Fireblade that refuses to quit. The goal? Dominate Stock 1000 and shake things up in Superbike.

Beyond the podium dreams, Honda is fueling grassroots racing through its Red Rider Rewards program, dangling $1.4 million in incentives. From seasoned vets to teenage up-and-comers in the Talent Cup, the message is clear: Honda is all in.
With MotoAmerica’s 2025 season revving up, expect red bikes, high stakes, and a few surprises.
