Both Wayne Maxwell and Jamie Stauffer will remain with the Team Honda Australia squad for the 2012 Aussie Superbike Championship with Maxwell believing consistency being the key to a good season's performance.

The development of Paul Free’s race team during the 2011 season as they re-entered the Honda family on the CBR1000RR was significant with six Superpole wins, five race wins and three overall round wins. Stauffer finished his season in second place and Maxwell in fourth thus both riders are extremely motivated to get back on the race track.

“Team Honda Racing is definitely going to be strong next season and to be riding on the new Honda CBR1000RR alongside Jamie will be awesome. We work really well together and the team is strong so after a good break over Christmas I know the New Year will be a really positive one for Team Honda Racing," said Sideshow Maxwell.

"I have never been more determined to claim the Superbike title and I know I will have everything I need in the 2012 package to do so. Hopefully, Jamie and I can make it 1st and 2nd throughout 2012. I know which position I plan to be in, we will just have to see what unfolds.”

Stauffer added: "I am really excited to be riding for Team Honda Racing in 2012 and to be starting the season on the new Honda CBR1000RR is fantastic. The development during the 2011 season has brought some great results, but I’m really keen to start testing the new model and see what it brings to the race track for 2012. Paul (Free) has hinted that there are some very valuable changes in the new CBR1000RR so it will be great to get it out on the race track and get the new season going.”
