Didn't realize Honda's GP racing history went back a full 60 years, a bit late to be surprised, but I am.
For that first attempt in the 1960s, what specific machine and rider did they enter with?
I believe the challenge dates back to the multi-cylinder two-stroke era, a completely different world from today's four-strokes.
Looking back at the number of titles racked up over 60 years, it's an overwhelming record.
A retrospective piece like this for the 60th anniversary is welcome news for longtime fans.
60 years of racing — thinking about the history from that era, it overlaps directly with the development of motorcycle racing itself.
