mx547 - There was one current champ Honda hired away. Gary Jones won the 250 title in '73 on a Honda after winning it in '72 on a Yamaha. He switched to Can Am and won it again in '74.
Other champs who moved onto Honda a year or more after winning a major US title include Hannah, Rick Johnson, Mike LaRocco, Brad Lackey, Pierre Karsmakers and Jimmy Ellis. Of those, only RJ had is greatest success on red.
