For decades, Honda has been synonymous with success in MotoGP.
The Japanese manufacturer won its first world championship in 1983, when Freddie Spencer pipped "King" Kenny Roberts and Yamaha to the crown by a mere two points. In the 40 seasons since, Honda won exactly half of the MotoGP world championships contested.
There have been times of drought in that span, sure. There was a five-year gap between titles in the early '90s and another at the end of the 2000s.
But there were periods of absolute, undisputed dominance, too. Mick Doohan won five straight titles between 1994 and 1998.
