the series. Hannah called the move to the 125cc class a “stupid mistake.” It would be Hannah's last year racing for the Yamaha factory team. Hannah blamed the motorcycles, and Yamaha blamed Hannah for not winning. By mutual agreement, the year remaining on his contract was dissolved. Move to Honda In November 1982, Honda announced it had signed Hannah to a three year contract. Hannah was back on 250cc machines and wasted no time making a statement that he was still on his game. He started the season by winning the CMC Golden State series over David Bailey, Broc Glover and Ricky Johnson. His success continued on the AMA circuits.

He finished 11th overall although he did become the first three-time winner of the Daytona Supercross, the last of his 27 stadium wins. However, Hannah
