Lean Honda Motorcycle Racing Calendar Ahead

Sad news reported by Reuters today...Honda Motor Company is going to exit most forms of motorcycle racing today, in a bid to cut costs and weather world economic slump...already exited Formula One. MotoGP is safe for the moment. Just as sad was the news that Subaru and Suzuki were pulling out of the world rally championship, for the same reason. I can think of one or two of our friends who are shedding a tear over that news...

Sadly this kind of bad news seems to be the blog trend lately. Not sad that you posted it, but sad that it is news to post.

This is as bad as if Ferrari quit F1. Honda founder Soichiro Honda once said something like "Without racing, there is no Honda."

Dark times indeed.

I am sure they will return to it one day.
