Giacomo Agostini, who won 15 motorcycle world championships

Grand Prix motorcycle racing is the premier championship of motorcycleroad racing, which has been divided into three classes since the 1990 season: 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP. Classes that have been discontinued include 350cc and 50cc/80cc.^[1] The Grand Prix Road-Racing World Championship was established in 1949 by the sport's governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), and is the oldest motorsport World Championship.^[2]

There were four classes when the championship started in 1949; 500cc, 350cc, 250cc and 125cc. The 50cc class was introduced in the 1962 season. Due to escalating costs that resulted in a number of manufacturers leaving the championship, the FIM limited the 50cc bikes to a single cylinder, the 125cc and 250cc bikes were limited to two cylinders and the 350cc and 500cc bikes were limited to four cylinders. The 350cc class was discontinued in 1982; two years later the 50cc class was replaced with an 80cc class, which was discontinued in 1989. In 2002, 990cc bikes replaced the 500c bikes and the class was renamed as MotoGP.^[3] 600cc bikes replaced the 250cc bikes in the 2010 season, with the class re-branded as Moto2.^[4]

Giacomo Agostini, with 15 victories, has won the most world championships. Ángel Nieto is second with 13 world championships and Valentino Rossi, Mike Hailwood and Carlo Ubbiali are third with 9 world championships.^[5] Agostini holds the record for the most victories in the 500cc/MotoGP and 350cc classes with eight and seven world championships respectively. Phil Read and Max Biaggi have won the most 250cc/Moto2 championships, with four victories each. Nieto won the most championships in the 125cc and 50cc/80cc classes with seven and six victories respectively.^[6]

Personal Quotes (33)

I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.

The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.

I have a lot of energy after 2 A.M. I like to sleep in the morning. I have some problems at the start of the day.

Also, when I started racing he knew a lot of people and it was more easy for me to find the first bike, so I have a good chance for sure.

To be a great motorbike racer, the most important thing is passion for the bike.

Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.

I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.

Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.

The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike... you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it's true.

In my opinion we are at the limit now, and 17 races is really too much. With all the testing that we do now, it means we're always on the bike and it's quite difficult.

I was lucky. My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.

Fortunately during my career I have won more or less everything, so I need to enjoy it to have the right motivation.

How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?

I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.

I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.

I am able to ride the bike and think clearly about strategy and tyres. I also have positive thinking. I am very constructively critical.

My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.

Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.

Once the races begin it's more difficult and there is never that much time for testing.

I have won on Honda and Yamaha so maybe it is interesting to win with a third team, Ducati, who are Italian.

If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.

It's a big, big advantage because understanding what changes we might make takes time and it takes time to work out settings and to understand everything about the new machine.

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn't quite match that improvement.

We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked well here last year; we won the race and always did fast lap times so it will be interesting to compare it to the new bike and it will help us to understand which parts have improved.

You look at Moto3, the races are very exciting. Moto2 is fantastic, and then MotoGP is boring.

Honda Valentino Rossi

But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.

As for the level of spectacle of the two disciplines, I leave it to the people who watch the races to comment.
