Encyclopedia
Kevin Schwantz is an American
former World Champion motorcycle
road racer
during the late 1980s
and early 1990s
.
in his teens, becoming a top regional MX racer. After a serious crash in qualifying for the Houston Supercross
in 1983
, he decided to quit motocross.
season, he was offered a test ride with the Yoshimura
Suzuki
Superbike team, who promptly signed the Texan to a contract. In his first race for Yoshimura, he won both legs of the 1985
Willow Springs AMA
Superbike
National. He would finish seventh overall in the championship despite only competing in half the races. He finished second to Eddie Lawson
in the 1986
Daytona 200
on the new Suzuki GSX-R750
. Then, in what would become an all too common occurrence throughout his career, he broke his collarbone in a qualifying crash and missed several races. Once again he finished seventh overall in the Championship.
The 1987
Superbike National Championship would be remembered by motorcycle fans as the beginning of Schwantz' fiercely competitive rivalry with Wayne Rainey
. The two battled throughout the entire season, often coming into contact on the track. Rainey eventually won the National Championship but Schwantz closed out the season winning five out of six races. So intense was their rivalry that they continued their battle during the 1987 Trans-Atlantic Match Races in which they were supposedly team mates competing against a team of British riders.
Schwantz began 1988
by winning the season opening Daytona 200
in what would be his only win in that prestigious event. He then departed for Europe as Suzuki promoted him to its 500cc Grand Prix
team where he made an immediate impact by winning the 1988 Japanese Grand Prix
in the opening round at Suzuka
, Japan (it was only his seventh Grand Prix ride in total, as he'd had wild card rides in 1986 on the old square four RG500 & 1987 on the first version of the V4 RGV500). His arch rival, Rainey would join him on the Grand Prix circuit, signing with the Team Roberts
-Yamaha
squad. For the next six years, the two would continue their intense rivalry on race tracks all across Europe. The late 1980s and early 1990s are remembered as one of the most competitive eras of Grand Prix racing with a field rich in talent that included Rainey, Wayne Gardner
, Mick Doohan, Eddie Lawson
and Randy Mamola
. He was often at a disadvantage in that his Suzukis never seemed to be as fast as those of his Yamaha and Honda
mounted rivals. His sheer determination to win at all cost meant that he seemed to crash as often as he won. This trait made him a popular favorite among race fans the world over. His last lap pass of Rainey to win the 1991 German Grand Prix
at the Hockenheimring
, with his rear tire fish-tailing on the verge of control, typified Schwantz' "do or die" riding style.
He culminated his career in 1993
by winning his first and only 500cc World Championship. After suffering through a crash infested 1994
season, the injuries he had incurred over the years began to take their toll on him, as did the career ending injuries suffered by his rival Rainey, at the 1993 Italian Grand Prix
that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Early in the 1995
season, after a conversation with Rainey, Schwantz decided to retire from motorcycle competition. Schwantz had accumulated 25 Grand Prix wins during his career, one more than his great rival, Wayne Rainey. This made him the second most successful American roadracer behind Eddie Lawson. In a rare display of respect, the FIM
retired his racing number (34) as a testament to his popularity.
In the late 1990s Schwantz ran a couple of seasons of the Australian NASCAR
Championship before returning home to the USA where for several years he competed in the NASCAR
Busch Series
, running 18 races with 2 top tens, and touring car races. He currently owns and operates a motorcycle riding school in Birmingham
, Alabama
. Schwantz was inducted into the AMA
Motorcycle Hall of Fame
in 1999. The FIM
named him a Grand Prix "Legend" in 2000.
