Billy Liles
Billy Liles is a motocross racer, mainly from the 1980s and 90s. Named “Rookie of the Year” in 1983, Liles was not one of the lucky few that won a championship his first year out, but he did receive a full factory sponsorship. Billy Liles was one of the first two members of Kawasaki’s Team Green. In late 1982, riding his 250cc Kawasaki, Liles won the 250cc class at New Berlin, NY, and later in 1983, he won the AMA Pro National at Lake Whitney, TX. Liles stayed with Kawasaki for three years, but would eventually sign with Honda.
