Honda Racing has revealed its colours ahead of the 2026 British Superbike Championship as it looks to secure a return to the overall top step this season.
The official factory-backed team pulled the wraps off its two Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade challengers ahead of official pre-season testing at Donington Park.
As has become customary in recent years, the official Honda entries are decorated in its signature red colour scheme, with flashes of the white and blue that is also familiar to the brand.
For 2026, the team will be represented by a fresh rider line-up comprising Ryan Vickers and Jason O’Halloran as it mounts a bid to secure a first BSB title since Alex Lowes was victorious in 2013.
The season marks a return to BSB competition for Vickers following a year competing in the WorldSBK Championship.
Though still only 27-years old, Vickers brings a wealth of experience to the Honda set-up with six seasons of BSB racing already behind him, including nine victories and a best of fifth overall achieved in 2024.
Partnering Vickers is O’Halloran, another rider returning to BSB after a year-out competing in the Endurance World Championship, where he was crowned champion in 2025.
Even more experienced than Vickers, O’Halloran made his BSB debut way back in 2008 on Honda machinery. He’d go on to represent the brand until 2018 before moving on to pastures new.
In all, O’Halloran has started 278 BSB races and collected 28 victories, plus 75 podiums, during his career.
As well as Vickers and O’Halloran, Honda Racing will be represented in the British Supersport and National Superstock 1000 classes.
Jack Kennedy leads Honda’s bid in Supersport aboard the Honda CBR600RR, while Isle of Man TT race winner Dean Harrison takes up the baton in SSTK1000.
