What you need to Know: Motorcycle Racing is Nearly Here
The first races of the motorcycle racing seasons are fast approaching. Here is a list of the first race of each of the major promotions.
MotoGP – March 2nd Grand Prix of Thailand
World Superbike – February 22nd Australian Round
MotoAmerica – March 29th Circuit of the Americas
American Flat Track – March 6th Daytona
Daytona 200 – March 7th
My Take: Winter may not be over yet, but sun rays of hope are flickering. The start of Supercross racing just stoked my motorcycle racing appetite. BSB and Isle of Mann start in May.
I have plans, don’t we all, to attend at least one MotoAmerica race this year after missing out in 2024.
What you need to know: 50 Years of Honda Gold Wing at Daytona Bike Week
From a Honda Press Release:
- Pop-up museum to document legendary touring model’s rich history
- Schedule includes a host of customer-focused activities
- Also planned: demo rides with Gold Wings and other Honda on-road bikes
American Honda announced today an expanded activation area at the upcoming Bike Week event in Daytona Beach, Florida, celebrating 50 Years of Flight with the Gold Wing touring bike. Situated outside Daytona Speedway from February 28 to March 9, the space will cover a total of nearly 32,000 square feet and will include a massive display tent and a demo-ride staging area.
Earlier this month, Honda unveiled the 2025 Gold Wing platform, which features special colors and logos commemorating the iconic model’s half-century milestone.
My Take: 50 Years of the Gold Wing! I think it is great that Honda is doing something like this, taking a page from the Harley Davidson playbook. If I have to buy another touring bike, I am going to take a hard look at the new Wing.
