American Honda officially presented the 2015 Team Honda Factory riders and machines at Castillo Ranch supercross track a few hours north of Los Angeles. Factory Honda riders Trey Canard and Cole Seely hammered out laps on the SX track, showing off the factory race bikes. Here’s a look at the bikes only the fastest riders in the world get to swing a leg over.

Team Honda is ready to kick off the 2015 AMA Supercross season on January 3 at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

No this isn’t Kevin Windham’s bike. It is the Factory bike of Cole Seely. He personally called Kevin and asked if it was cool to run the number 14. Like it or not, it looks good on a Honda 450.

There is quite a bit of difference between Cole’s bike and the bike of Trey Canard, starting at the suspension. Cole is running Showa while Trey uses KYB.

The front axle of Cole’s CRF450R is a Factory titanium item while Trey chooses to run a stock front axle.

Both Team Honda bikes use Factory linkage.

With less than two months before the first race Cole is very happy with his bike set up and said “There are few little things we’ll change but I would be happy racing it as it sits right now.”

After a great ending to the 2014 race season, Trey Canard is ready for Anaheim One. His bike is ready as well.

Trey chose to run KYB suspension for 2015.

Fresh off of two race wins at the Monster Energy Cup, Trey looks very comfortable about his 2015 Honda CRF450R.

Trey prefers a harder hitting and higher revving engine package than Cole Seely, separating the set up of the two machine even further.

Honda is really pushing to have a dominate team in 2015 and Trey Canard is just the guy who can do it.
