Manufacturers with the Most Premier-Class MotoGP Titles

About This Dataset

This chart ranks motorcycle manufacturers by the number of premier-class (500cc/MotoGP) riders' world championships their machines have won, through the 2025 season.

✨ AI Insight

Honda is the most successful manufacturer in the premier class with 21 riders' titles, reflecting decades of engineering investment and partnerships with champions from Mick Doohan to Marc Márquez. Behind Honda, two very different names tie on 18: MV Agusta, the Italian marque that dominated the 1950s, 60s and early 70s, and Yamaha, whose success spans from the 1970s to the Rossi and Lorenzo eras. The gap to the rest is large: Suzuki (7), Gilera (6) and Ducati (5) trail well behind, despite each enjoying periods of glory. The data captures the shifting balance of power in the sport, from the Italian dominance of the early decades to the Japanese manufacturers' long modern reign, with Ducati's recent rise adding a new chapter to the story.
