Jeremy McGuire Director, Customer Engagament

Jeremy McGuire joined Honda R&D in 1999, working out of the Honda South Carolina factory before moving to the Ohio Development Center in 2001, as a frame designer for ATV products. He was based in Japan for two years beginning in 2003, focusing on new-product development for refreshed ATV products. He then spent 15 years at Honda’s Ohio Development Center, focusing on ATV and side-by-side development across various roles.

Jeremy led development across Honda’s U.S./Japan team for the all-new Pioneer 700 (released in 2013) and the all-new Talon 1000 (released in 2018).

Lars Lindstrom Team Manager

His father is Swedish-born American motocross/off-road pioneer and AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Gunnar Lindstrom, who actually managed Honda’s motocross-racing program for the 1979 and 1980 seasons. A talented racer himself, Lars joined Honda as a shop assistant in 2000 and worked his way up, serving in just about every capacity, including mechanic, parts room, engine tech, suspension tech, special projects and, most recently, 450 crew chief. Over the years, he has worked with a long list of legendary riders, including Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Carmichael, Chad Reed, Ken Roczen, Kevin Windham and of course the current lineup: Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence, Jo Shimoda, and Chance Hymas.
