He raced in Australian Superbikes in the late 1980s, and also won both races as [[Superbike World Championship]] visited [[Oran Park Raceway|Oran Park]] in {{SBK|1988}} as well as the second leg of the Japanese round held earlier in the year. In a break-out season he also won the final [[Australian motorcycle Grand Prix]] to be held in the TT format at [[Mount Panorama]] before the race became a round of the World Championship the following year and moved to [[Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit|Phillip Island]]. He is one of the few 500 cc or MotoGP World Champions to have won a [[Superbike World Championship]] race.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldsbk.com/teams-e-riders/rider?pilota=18 |title=Michael Doohan career World Superbike statistics at |publisher=Worldsbk.com |access-date=27 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120802001719/http://www.worldsbk.com/teams-e-riders/rider?pilota=18 |archive-date=2 August 2012 }}</ref> [[File:Mick Doohan 1990 Japanese GP.jpg|left|thumb|Doohan aboard the Rothmans Honda NSR500, 1990]] He made his [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing|Grand Prix]] debut for [[Honda]] on an NSR 500 cc two-stroke motorcycle in [[1989 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1989]]. Late in the 1990 season Doohan claimed his first victory at the [[1990 Hungarian motorcycle Grand Prix|Hungarian Grand Prix]] on his way to third in the championship.[[File:Japanese motorcycle Grand Prix 1991.jpg|250px|thumb|Doohan leads [[Kevin Schwantz]], [[Wayne Rainey]] and [[John Kocinski]] at the 1991 Japanese Grand Prix]] In [[1991 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1991]], he was paired with his fellow Australian [[Wayne Gardner]] on a [[Honda RVF750]] [[superbike racing|superbike]] and won the [[Suzuka 8 Hours]] endurance race. He competed successfully throughout the early 1990s and appeared to be on his way to winning his first world championship when he was seriously injured in a practice crash before the [[1992 Dutch TT]]. He suffered permanent and serious damage to his right leg due to medical [[acute limb ischemia|complications]] and, at one stage, faced [[amputation]] of the leg. At the time, Doohan was 65 points in the lead of the championship, but could not compete for eight weeks after the crash. After an arduous recovery, he returned to racing for the final two races but could not prevent [[Yamaha Motor Corporation|Yamaha]] rider [[Wayne Rainey]] from winning his third consecutive title (by four points from Doohan). In [[1993 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1993]] he struggled with the healing of his leg and the ability to race the Honda at elite level, stating later that in that year it was all he could do to just keep his ride at Honda. It was also during this time he switched to a left thumb-operated rear brake, as his right foot was no longer able to perform this function.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://roadahead.com.au/news/queensland-interview/man-steel-mick-doohan/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150319095950/http://roadahead.com.au/news/queensland-interview/man-steel-mick-doohan/|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 March 2015|title=Man of steel: Mick Doohan|work=The Road Ahead Lifestyle (RACQ)}}</ref> [[File:Mick Doohan and Shinichi Ito 1995 Buenos Aires.jpeg|thumb|Doohan celebrates after winning the [[1995 Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix|1995 Argentine Grand Prix]]]] In [[1994 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1994]] however, he won his first [[List of Grand Prix motorcycle racing World champions by year|500 cc World Championship]]. Thereafter, until [[1998 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1998]], he dominated the class, winning five consecutive 500 cc World Championships. In [[1997 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1997]], his most successful year, Doohan won 12 out of 15 races, finished second in another two, and crashed out of the final race of the season at his home GP while leading by more than six seconds. In the [[1996 Queen's Birthday Honours (Australia)|1996 Queen's Birthday Honours]], Doohan was inducted as a [[Member of the Order of Australia]] (AM) for his contribution to the sport of motor racing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://honours.pmc.gov.au/honours/awards/886310|title=Australian Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet – Honours Search|date=30 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180130202801/https://honours.pmc.gov.au/honours/awards/886310|archive-date=30 January 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> [[File:Tadayuki Okada, Mick Doohan and Takuma Aoki 1997 Nürburgring.jpeg|thumb|Doohan on the podium with [[Takuma Aoki]] and [[Tadayuki Okada]] after winning the [[1997 German motorcycle Grand Prix|1997 German Grand Prix]]]] Despite up to eight rivals on non-factory HRC [[Honda]] motorcycles Doohan's margin of superiority over them was such that in many races Doohan would build a comfortable lead and then ride well within his limits to cruise to victory. Although pure riding skill clearly played a large part in his success, the ability of his chief [[race engineer]], [[Jeremy Burgess]], to perfect the suspension and geometry of a racing motorcycle may have given him an advantage over his rivals. Between 1994 and 1998 the bike was said not to have had many changes, with Honda engineers reportedly becoming frustrated at Doohan's reluctance to try innovations such as electronic shifting (it was only when Rossi came to Honda in 2000 that Honda engineers had their head with Rossi willing to try more innovations).{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} One notable trait of Doohan's post-crash riding style was the use of a thumb-operated rear brake developed during 1993 owing to the reduced range of motion in his ankle. This was operated by a "nudge" bar similar to a [[personal water craft]] throttle, but mounted on the left [[Motorcycle handlebar|handlebar]]. In [[1999 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1999]] Doohan had another accident, this time in a very wet qualifying session for the Spanish Grand Prix. He again broke his leg in several places and subsequently announced his retirement. [[Jeremy Burgess]], Doohan's chief engineer for his entire career, later became [[Valentino Rossi]]'s chief engineer. After Doohan retired he went to work as a roving adviser to Honda's Grand Prix race effort. At the conclusion of the 2004 season, Doohan and Honda parted company.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/01/26/1106415654584.html|title=Doohan cuts ties with Honda – Breaking News – www.smh.com.au|date=2018-01-30|access-date=2018-01-30|url-status=bot: unknown|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180130201949/http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/01/26/1106415654584.html|archive-date=30 January 2018}}</ref> In June 2011, Doohan made an appearance at the [[Isle of Man TT]].
