1 Casey Stoner – 45 wins
One can only wonder how high on this ranking Casey Stoner might have ended up if he hadn’t made the decision to retire while still a mere 27-years-old. In fact, his 45 wins are equal to the record of Jim Redman, but since Stoner took 38 of his on top-class bikes, against just two for Redman

Britain's most successful rider of all time in terms of championships, with GP titles in the 125cc, 250cc (x4) and 500cc (x2) classes. Of all his wins, 11 were on 500s, which surprisingly places him only 21st if this list was restricted to premier-class successes.

Every single one of Doohan’s 54 wins is on a 500cc bike
