With the announcement of additional 2015 motorcycle and side-by-side models, Honda celebrates the racing success of its factory MotoGP team. Commemorating the manufacturer’s record-breaking achievements over the past two seasons, the CBR1000RR and CBR1000RR SP sportbikes are offered with special Repsol Honda liveries. Also introduced are models for adventure touring, cruising, dual sport and enduro, along with a pair of scooters and the popular Pioneer 700 and 700-4 side-by-sides.

“Honda has a long record of success on the racetrack, and we’re proud to recognize the company’s latest accomplishments with a special edition of the CBR1000RR,” said Lee Edmunds, Manager of Motorcycle Marketing Communications at American Honda. “The CBR supersport series has achieved a myriad of accomplishments in its own right, so we’re happy to offer the liter bike in the Repsol Honda colors of our World Championship-winning MotoGP team.”

Honda is offering its CBR1000RR SP and CBR1000RR with a special Repsol Honda livery, as well as a distinctive championship badge on the fuel tank.
