New-look formation for Honda MX & Road Race team
After dominating wins in the 2009/10 Motocross season and making plenty of noise on the Road Racing scene, Blue Wing Honda is now ready to announce a new-look formation for its 2011 Race Programme, across both Motocross and Road Racing teams.
Raced and serviced from the Blue Wing Honda Racing Truck, new Honda MX and Superbike teams will sit under the new ‘Honda Dealer Team’ banner at all 2010/11 season events.
‘Honda Dealer Team, MX’ will contest in Motocross events including all four National Championship events, Woodville MX Grand Prix, the Auckland Champs, Whakatane MX and the two international Supercross events.
Two riders will defend the MX1 450 championship titles won in 2009 by Justin McDonald on a Honda CRF450R, and two riders will defend the MX2 250 championship title won in 2009 by Michael Phillips on a Honda CRF250R.
All four MX riders will be on new 2011 Honda CRF450Rs and Honda CRF250Rs. Additional racing events may be added to the schedule, including the possibility of events local to Honda Dealer Team, MX.
‘Honda Dealer Team, Superbike’ will contest in the NZ Road Racing Series, with five Dealer/Rider combinations, racing Honda CBR1000RR Superbikes.
Both Honda Dealer Team, MX and Honda Dealer Team, Superbike will be managed by Paul Stewart from Blue Wing Honda. Full Honda Dealer/Rider team combinations will be announced imminently, following finalisation of contracts by Blue Wing Honda.
Plus, in a new initiative by Blue Wing Honda, substantial prize money will now be up for grabs at specified events, as part of a scheme to reward the highest placed Honda riders, whether they are a Honda Dealer Team, or privateer competitors.
Team specifics will be announced in a separate press release, but if you would like to discuss the formation of Honda’s new 2011 Race Team, please contact:

Dion's words.....
"Gee thanks Pete for looking out for my money, BUT ...some of us earn a little more than a MC salesman!!!! Nothing wrong with the RSV4 for a smaller rider than myself.
Like Sloan knows, the BMW is a wise move for me.
I assume by your above post you never crashed while racing Pete??????? "
I rekon john ross will end up on one of those hondas.
MMMM the BMW is awesome - I think i'll get one.... eventually!
I tried and really wanted to get on a CBR1000 2 seasons ago, i had some cash and wanted a little help with the price of the Bike and some tyres etc but Paul Stewart basically told me to go jump because i've not achieved anything of any worth! in fact he said "what you have down on paper looks good but what have you really proved, sorry but we cant help you." LOL nice!!! Compaired to Craig S and Hayden F I guess I didnt look so good hahaha - so now the name honda just makes me feel ill, but i'm pretty twisted so it dont take much.
Anyhow long live Suzuki... oh and BMW, ok ok and Yamaha!![]()

That's very nice of you once again Vicki to race to his aid! And no need for you or him to get nasty. I've always said and continue to say that I think it's great he's out there doing it...and good luck to him. And crash? Sure I did. But if we're gonna have a pissing contest...I also won a national title in my first and only season of road racing. Tell Dion to get back to me if he does.
Hey hun, I think Pete's post may have been taken a little out of context there. By the looks of it and domestic racing around the world, the BMW would be a good choice for anybody.
You fucken liar. You did more than one season. What about those eight hundred and eighty three cee cees of pig iron you wrestled? Selective memory loss due to dropping yourself on your head too many times.![]()

Not so. I raced a few street meets on my KX500's, then got my KR1 and did a full season.
Sat around drinking for six years then when I started work here raced the 883 for them. But that ain't doing the nationals...and as I say...it was six years after I raced them. And funnily enough...despite a few offs...I never once landed on my head! Helmets are far too expensive to wreck. Especially as I'm only a poor MC salesman!
