Motul partners with Honda

We’re delighted to hear that Motul has joined forces with leading motorbike manufacturer, Honda UK.

For the first time in history, Motul products will be added to Honda’s range of lubricants and motorcycle care range in dealerships across the UK, capitalising on Honda UK’s racing activities along the way.

As part of the 3 year deal, Motul becomes the official lubricant partner to Honda’s race teams in British Superbikes and international road racing, showcasing the Motul brand at the highest level during short circuit and road racing events across the UK.

Fielded by an unprecedented 4 ‘factory’ riders in BSB, with reigning Superstock 1000 champion Tom Neaves alongside established BSB race winner Glenn Irwin and two Japanese contingents, Takumi Takahashi & Ryo Mizuno supported by HRC.

Irwin & long term Motul brand ambassador (& 23 times IOM TT winner) John Mcguiness will race on the roads. Glenn is no stranger to road racing having won at the MACAU GP & with 4 x NW200 Superbike race wins in recent years.

Motul, who itself is celebrating the 50^th anniversary of 300V in 2022, joins Honda in an eventful year – their 20th year in BSB, 70thyear at the IOM TT and the CBR1000RR-R FIREBLADE SP’s 30th birthday.

Neil Fletcher, Head of Motorcycles at Honda UK said:

We are delighted to announce a new working partnership with Motul this year. They have a wealth of success across many motorsport series around the world and I have been impressed by their passion and professionalism. It’s great to form a new partnership together in such an important and special year as the Fireblade celebrates its 30th Anniversary in both BSB and the Roads.

We have a busy few months ahead with testing starting soon, the BSB championship on the near horizon and we can’t wait to head back to Northern Ireland for the NW200 and then quickly on to the TT with Glenn making his first start and John his 100th!

Günter Steven, Head of Sales Exporta at Motul Deutschland added:

As one of the leading motorbike manufacturers in the United Kingdom Honda trusts our premium range of high-performance lubricants and motorcycle care products as well as our sales concepts for their dealer network – we are very pleased about this and it is a solid basis on which we will build a successful cooperation.

The fact that we also share the same values on top of that, as well as a great commitment to motorsport, offers both of us the perfect basis for a long-term partnership. We can’t wait to merge our collective knowledge and experience in both trade and motorsport to create a great synergy together.
