We have spoken about it often here on mxlarge, the revolution of the MXGP series and the huge amount of factory machines and support on the starting line in 2025.

Record numbers, from brands like Ducati, Honda, Triumph, Kawasaki, Yamaha, KTM, Husqvarna, TM, Fantic, Beta and many more. Just stunning numbers and never in the sports history have we had so much support from the Japanese, Italian, Austrian and British brands.

The paddock will be full of Japanese, Italian, British and Austrian technicians and very, expensive looking machines this year and that is good news for us, the fans, but also the riders. More and more seats are coming and that is an advantage for everyone in the paddock.

Whichever team takes out the manufactures awards in 2025 will have really invested a lot of money and we should all be thankful, not only for the factories who are so involved, but also the team owners, many successful business men who have also put their dollars into the sport and hopefully, their passion for the sport will be rewarded with big success this year.

Below are dozens of factory machines, shot during the pre-season photo shoots of brilliant photographers like Bavo Swijgers, Ray Archer and Pascal Haudiquert.
