Suzuki continued to improve their Suzuki RG 500 with Barry Sheene claiming two Grand Prix victories in Holland and Sweden. John Newbold was Sheene's teammate on the Suzuki team. Sheene crashed heavily while practicing for the pre-season Daytona 200 and would not return to full health until mid-season.https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/april-2015/45/sheene-s-horrific-daytona-fling Sheene's Horrific Daytona Fling 28 August 2015 motorsportmagazine.com 9 September 2026 The 1975 season began with Agostini and Kanaya taking first and second in France, relegating Read to third place. Agostini then failed to finish in Austria, as Kanaya took the victory ahead of Teuvo Länsivuori (Suzuki) with Read finishing in third place. Kanaya scored an impressive double victory in Austria where he won both the 350cc and 500cc classes to become the first Japanese competitor to win Grand Prix races in either class.Frank Weeink 2013 Jan Burgers Continental Circus: The Races and the Places, the People and the Faces : Pictures and Stories from the Early Seventies Mastix Press 978-90-818639-5-7 https://books.google.com/books?id=xuk2oAEACAAJ&q=continental+circus Agostini then won two consecutive races in Germany and Italy, relegating Read to second place each time. Mick Grant (Kawasaki) won the fifth round at the 1975 Isle of Man TT as most of the championship contenders continued to boycott the event over safety concerns.https://www.iomtt.com/tt-database/events/races?meet_code=TT75&race_seq=7 1975 Isle of Man Senior TT Classifications iomtt.com 9 September 2026 Yamaha would recall Kanaya to Japan at mid-season for testing duties while, Gianfranco Bonera replaced Toracca on the MV Agusta team at Round 6 in hopes of offering more support for Read.

Read actually grossed more points overall than Agostini during the season but fell victim to FIM scoring rules at the time which only recognized a competitor's best six results. Read's loss marked the end of MV Agusta's streak of 17 consecutive 500 Class World Championships dating back to 1958. The company's focus had turned to the aviation industry after the death of Count Domenico Agusta in February 1971.https://www.cycleworld.com/blogs/ask-kevin/mv-agusta-four-stroke-racing-technology-development-history/ What If MV Agusta Had Not Lost Its Leadership in 1971? Cycle World 9 September 2026 Cameron Kevin April 25, 2023 The Count's passion for motorcycle racing had been the driving force behind the MV Agusta team, and without his presence, the racing team's importance within the company began to wither. The last remaining manufacturer to compete with four-stroke machinery, the MV Agusta team withdrew from the World Championships after the 1975 season. Agostini's string of seven consecutive 350cc World Championships came to an end in 1975 when he finished second to teenage prodigy Johnny Cecotto.Mat Oxley 2025 Johnny Who? Classic Bike H Bauer Publishing Ltd 0142-890X Cecotto was relatively unknown at the beginning of the season but soon rose to prominence at the season-opening round in France, where he won the 250cc Grand Prix, then defeated Agostini by 20 seconds to win the 350cc Grand Prix. Cecotto had secured only enough budget to compete in the first few rounds of the World Championships however, after his spectacular debut, he secured additional financial sponsorship to compete in all 10 rounds. Yamaha also provided Agostini's 1974 Yamaha TZ350 for Cecotto to use for the remainder of the season.John Brown 1995 Johnny Cecotto Classic Racer Mortons Motorcycle Media Ltd 0959-7123 Cecotto relegated Agostini to second place in France, Italy and Finland while Agostini only managed to defeat Cecotto once in Spain.http://www.motogp.com/en/riders/profiles/Johnny+Cecotto Rider Statistics - Johnny Cecotto MotoGP.com 2019-04-23 2020-03-18 https://web.archive.org/web/20200318170254/https://www.motogp.com/en/riders/Johnny+Cecotto dead The nineteen-year-old Cecotto became the youngest-ever FIM World Champion at the time. His record stood until 1990 when Loris Capirossi won the 125cc World Championship at the age of 17. Walter Villa won five Grand Prix races to claim his second consecutive 250cc World Championship for the Harley-Davidson-Aermacchi team. His Harley-Davidson teammate Michel Rougerie won two races and finished the championship in second place. Just as Phil Read had done in the 500 Class, Rougerie scored more points than his teammate Villa, but he also fell victim to FIM scoring rules which only recognized a competitor's best six results. Johnny Cecotto won two Grand Prix races and was leading in three other races but failed to finish in each of them. He placed fourth in the championship, just two points behind Dieter Braun. In the 125cc division, the Morbidellis of Pileri and Bianchi dominated, finishing first and second in six of the ten events. Angel Nieto claimed his fourth world title for Kreidler in the 50cc class. 1975 Grand Prix season calendar Round Date Race Location 50cc winner 125cc winner 250cc winner 350cc winner 500cc winner Report1 March 30 France French Grand Prix Paul RicardSweden Kent AnderssonVenezuela 1930 Johnny CecottoVenezuela 1930 Johnny CecottoItaly Giacomo Agostini Report2 April 20 Spain 1945 Spanish Grand Prix Jarama Spain 1945 Angel Nieto Italy Paolo Pileri Italy Walter VillaItaly Giacomo Agostini Report3 May 4 Austria Austrian Grand Prix Salzburgring Italy Paolo Pileri Japan Hideo Kanaya Japan Hideo Kanaya Report4 May 11 West Germany German Grand Prix Hockenheimring Spain 1945 Angel Nieto Italy Paolo Pileri Italy Walter Villa Venezuela 1930 Johnny Cecotto Italy Giacomo Agostini Report5 May 18 Italy Nations Grand Prix Imola Spain 1945 Angel Nieto Italy Paolo Pileri Italy Walter Villa Venezuela 1930 Johnny Cecotto Italy Giacomo Agostini Report6 June 6 UK Isle of Man TTSnaefell Mountain UK Chas Mortimer UK Charlie Williams UK Mick Grant Report7 June 28 Netherlands Dutch TT Assen Spain 1945 Angel Nieto Italy Paolo Pileri Italy Walter Villa West Germany Dieter Braun UK Barry Sheene Report8 July 6 Belgium Belgian Grand Prix SpaBelgium Julien van Zeebroeck Italy Paolo Pileri Venezuela 1930 Johnny Cecotto UK Phil Read Report9 July 20 Sweden Swedish Grand Prix Anderstorp Italy Eugenio Lazzarini Italy Paolo Pileri Italy Walter Villa UK Barry Sheene Report10 July 27 Finland Finnish Grand Prix Imatra Spain 1945 Angel NietoFrance Michel Rougerie Venezuela 1930 Johnny Cecotto Italy Giacomo Agostini Report11 August 24Czechoslovakia Czechoslovak Grand Prix Brno Sweden Leif Gustafsson France Michel Rougerie Italy Otello Buscherini UK Phil Read Report12September 21 Yugoslavia Yugoslavian Grand Prix Opatija Spain 1945 Angel Nieto West Germany Dieter Braun West Germany Dieter Braun Finland Pentti Korhonen ReportSources:https://www.motogp.com/en/world-standing/1975/500cc/championship-standings 1975 500cc World Championship race results motogp.com 8 March 2026https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/database/championships/1975-world-motorcycle-championship/ 1975 500cc World Championship race results motorsportmagazine.com 8 March 2026 Participants 500cc participants TeamConstructorMotorcycleNo.RiderRounds MV Agusta MV Agusta MV Agusta 4C 012 GBR Phil Read 1–4, 6–8, 10 24 ITA Gianfranco Bonera 6, 8–9 411820 ITA Armando Toracca 1–2 Suzuki Suzuki 13658 FIN Teuvo Länsivuori 1–3, 6, 9–10 Suzuki GB Suzuki Suzuki RG 500 76912 GBR Barry Sheene 6–8 ??? 901427 GBR John Newbold 4, 6–7 Yamaha Yamaha 248 ITA Giacomo Agostini 1–4, 6–10 32211 JPN Hideo Kanaya 1–4 Arwidson 5227 FIN Pentti Korhonen 8 ??? 51052 AUS Jack Findlay 2–4, 6–9 6 GBR Charlie Williams 5 Suzuki 975 GBR Stan Woods 3–4 Yamaha 1012726910 AUT Karl Auer 1–2, 6, 10 Gerald Brown 10288 GBR John Williams 5–8 Kawasaki/GB Kawasaki 10298811 GBR Mick Grant 5 ???
