Norifumi Abe Biography

Norifumi Abe is one of the most popular and richest Racer who was born on September 7, 1975 in Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan.

In 1994, while racing in his home championship, Abe had a chance to race at the 1994 Japanese Grand Prix as a “wild card”. He shocked the field by challenging for the win until three laps from the finish before falling off. Abe’s performance impressed Kenny Roberts’s Yamaha team, and was offered two more rides that year which yielded two 6th places and earned him a full-time Grand Prix ride for the 1995 season. This performance also so impressed a 14-year-old Valentino Rossi, that he took on the nickname “Rossifumi” and used it in his early career in deference to such a committed and spectacular racer.

Abe took his first podium finish in 1995, and his first win and 5th overall in the championship a year later. His team in 1997 was run by another former champion, Wayne Rainey, and Abe took regular points finishes over the next two seasons, including four podiums. He joined the d’Antin Antena 3 team in 1999, won at Rio de Janeiro that year, and won again at Suzuka a year later. Abe spent two seasons on less competitive machinery, yet his race results ensured his 100% record of top 10 championship finishes continued.

He got another chance on the Tech 3 Yamaha team for 2004, but was unsuccessful, and was moved to Yamaha’s returning Superbike World Championship squad for 2005.
