American Honda announces 2007 AMA road racing teams

Torrance, CA: American Honda has finalized its plans for the 2007 AMA road racing season. In the factory truck will be eight-time National champion and five-time Daytona 200 winner Miguel Duhamel and 2006 Daytona winner Jake Zemke.

Zemke started the 2006 season by winning his first Daytona 200, and then posted his first Superbike win of the year at the new Miller Motorsports Park. Duhamel, meanwhile, finished the Superbike season third overall in the final point standings. For 2007, both riders will once again compete on Honda's CBR1000RR for the AMA Superbike championship. Additionally, they will have a new weapon in their arsenal—the all-new CBR600RR. Watch for this super-light, MotoGP inspired machine to defend Honda's unbroken streak of 600cc-era Formula Xtreme Daytona 200 victories in 2007 in the hands of Duhamel and Zemke.

American Honda will continue to support the Erion Racing Team once again in 2007 for the 14th consecutive season. The team will put Honda's new CBR600RR to the test in defense of Josh Hayes' hard-fought 2006 Formula Xtreme title. The title was the Erion team's fifth Formula Xtreme championship, and a record seventh Xtreme crown for Honda. The Xtreme number one plate will be defended by Hayes along with teammate Aaron Gobert. Adding to the excitement in 2007 will be Erion Honda's return to the Pro Honda Oils Supersport Championship after a three-year absence. Honda machines have dominated this class in the past, so watch for the Erion squad to return the 600-class championship cup to the Honda mantle.
