Season summary

1994 was the year in which Honda's Mick Doohan began to stamp his authority on the Grand Prix world.[1] Honda's Longtime sponsor Rothmans left Honda to join Williams Renault in Formula One.[1] Doohan won 9 races, the most since Giacomo Agostini won 11 in 1972.[1] Kevin Schwantz was injured in a pre-season bicycle crash and raced in 6 races with his arm in plaster.[1] Luca Cadalora took over from Wayne Rainey on the Yamaha and won two races. Aprilia began campaigning in the 500cc class with a 250 V twin motor enlarged to 380cc in hopes of using its lighter weight and nimble handling as an advantage.[1]

Max Biaggi would win his first world title for Aprilia in a tight 250 class battle against Loris Capirossi and Tadayuki Okada.[1] Kazuto Sakata won the 125 crown for Aprilia. He was the first Japanese rider to race for a European factory.[1]

Honda secured the constructor's title in all three categories.
