TSR, standing at the pinnacle of the FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC), continues to take on challenges

TSR, a motorcycle parts manufacturer and racing team based in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, has been active since the early days of motorcycle racing in Japan. After competing in the All Japan Road Race Championship, the Suzuka 8 Hours, and the Road Racing World Championship with young Japanese riders, TSR shifted its focus to the FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC) in 2016. In the 2017-2018 season, the team became world champions in just their third year of participation.
　

The roots of TSR/TECHNICAL SPORTS RACING trace back to Shoumi Fujii, the late former chairman of Honda World Corporation, which operates TSR. He was a disciple of Soichiro Honda, the innovative founder of Honda Motor Co., Ltd.

The spirit of these mentor and disciple pioneers, who single-mindedly competed on the global stage in the early days of motorcycles in the 1950s, has been passed down through generations and continues to resonate in the current TSR/TECHNICAL SPORTS RACING.

The Evolution of TSR and the Rhinoceros Beetle

The origins of TSR lie in the mid-1960s, during the early days of motorcycle racing, as the former Technical Sports Club. Its symbol was the rhinoceros beetle.
The beetle, with its tough armour, symbolised resilience, surviving falls unharmed and continuing to live even after losing limbs.
Times have changed, and everything from machines and circuits to safety and technology has evolved. However, the essence of racing—human mastery of motorcycles destined to fall, faster and more reliably than anyone else—remains unchanged.
The spirit embodied in the rhinoceros beetle is the essence of TSR, unchanged to this day.
