Randy Hawkins should be near the top of any respectable list of top American enduro riders. His seven AMA National Enduro Championship titles are enough cred, but he is also a 13-time ISDE gold medalist and a two-time silver medalist.
The South Carolinian got his first taste of motorcycle racing as a motocross racer in 1976, but the real Hawkins era came between 1987 and 2004 where he racked up 73 AMA National race victories, his aforementioned seven AMA National Enduro titles—and he was a runner-up in the series four times.
Off-road racer Randy Hawkins grew up in the city of Travelers Rest, S.C. He first raced in a 1976 motocross event, launching a career that captured a long list of AMA National victories, championship titles, and international gold medals.
Between 1987 and 2004, Hawkins earned 73 AMA National race wins. He won the AMA National Enduro Championship seven times, and was runner-up for the title four times. He also competed in the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE), earning 13 gold medals and two silver medals. He captained his club team at the 2003 ISDE in Brazil, taking the overall second-place finish. He also earned titles in other series, such as the AMA 125cc National Reliability Series, which he won in 1991 and ’94. He is also a three-time Southeastern Trail Riders Association (SETRA) Enduro Grand Champion.
These days, Hawkins can be found at AMSOIL GNCC events where he manages the Am-Pro Yamaha bLU cRU-backed off-road racing team.
Hawkins was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2009.
