Freddie Spencer Biography

Freddie Spencer is one of the most popular and richest Motorcycle Racer who was born on December 20, 1961 in Shreveport, Louisiana, United States. Frederick Burdette Spencer (born December 20th in 1961) is sometimes referred to as the name Fast Freddie, is an American former world champion racer. Spencer is considered to be one of the most famous motorcycle racers of the 1980s.

The 1983 season will be known by many as being among the most thrilling championship chases to ever happen in Grand Prix racing; Honda’s Spencer and Yamaha’s Kenny Roberts fought back and back to take the lead in the points race and each one of them claiming six wins. The season ended with the final race in Sweden when the two drivers hit each other on the final lap. Roberts was thrown off the track, and left Spencer to sprint for the finish line, and win. Roberts won the final race, but Spencer was second, taking home the first title in his world by two points.

After his historic 1985 season, Spencer never won another Grand Prix race. He retired from Grand Prix racing at the beginning of 1988, although there were a couple of GP comeback attempts, in 1989 and 1993.

1985 proved to be a historic year for Spencer. He began the season by winning the prestigious season opening Daytona 200. Spencer also won the Formula 1 and 250cc classes, making him the only rider to win all three divisions in a single year. Spencer also competed in both the 250cc and 500cc Grand Prix World Championships, winning both titles in the same year. That made him the fifth (and last) rider ever to win in the 500cc and the next class down and, due to class changes, the only rider to win in both 500cc and 250cc in one year. His career was cut short by wrist injuries that some believe were caused by the physical strain of competing in two championships during a single season.

In 1982, he’d been promoted to full-time Honda’s Grand Prix team, who in the meantime had abandoned the NR500 and had developed the NS500 three-cylinder 2-stroke. When he was in 1983 Spencer was the first to win his 500cc World Championship at the age of 21, making him the youngest person to ever win the title. This was a distinction earlier held previously by Mike Hailwood.
