Ken Roczen Collaborates With Honda Genuine Honda Racing
With the opening event of the 2022 FIM World Supercross Championship just weeks away, Honda Genuine Honda Racing is pleased to announce a collaborative effort with Ken Roczen for the two-round season that will include events in the United Kingdom and Australia.
Roczen is going to compete this off season aboard a CRF450R that will be built and prepared by the HGA squad. Showa suspension is going to be equipped to his ‘red’ steed – Factory Connection has assisted by building and preparing chassis components. Competing aboard machinery that he is comfortable on will aid Roczen in his quest for the WSX title.

Roczen last raced in front of the British fans in the August of 2011 – he won the FIM Motocross World Championship round that was run on that day and took the MX2 world title in that same year.
Ken Roczen: “Yarrive and his team are experienced, and they have achieved creditable results across the globe. I want to race this off season, and the Honda Genuine Honda Racing team is working with me and my personal sponsors. I am looking forward to seeing parts of Europe that I have not experienced as an adult and I am really looking forward to travelling to Australia too! I have friends and fans there and can’t wait to enjoy some off season racing and great people
Yarrive Konsky (Honda Genuine Honda Racing Team Owner): “Ken is one of the fastest and most experienced racers in the world. I believe that experience is going to help the team.
