Honda racing team a sister Satellite Team to Honda's race team.
0ur
Current Team
2003
Results our team astonished every one and all other race teams and
we put our team on the map in more ways than one.
2003
our team had a great result with both riders winning one two in
the privateer's cup and finishing ahead of the factory team of Honda's
in the 2003 Superbike championship.
2004
our team had a three rider team with a brand new Honda built model
bikes never raced by our team prior. There were no current race
parts available, so we had to struggle with near standard bikes
this happened until race parts arrived late in the season towards
years end.
This
was when our race bikes could finally be really race tuned and be
sorted out for the race speed we needed to compete on equal terms
with the top teams. Our Super Sport rider eventually being able
to take on the factory bikes and getting the better of some of them
and achieving good results, thanks to our efforts he has been signed
to the Honda factory team for 2005.
With
our Super bikes our last couple of outings have now have been able
to prove that we have them up to speed and sorted and running with
the factory bikes. We compete with the factory race teams and all
are competing in the Australian Superbike series this includes the
privateer teams who are running alongside competing for the outright
Championship and privateers cup series.
Our
team is looked on as the privateer team to beat as we are always
in the position to win against many of the factory bikes.
