In 1973, Soichiro Honda sought Jones and his father to help develop the new Honda CR series of motocross bikes. As they had done with Yamaha's motocross bikes, Jones and his father developed the Honda into a winning motorcycle when he successfully defended his 250cc crown riding the Honda CR250M. In 1974 he would ride for the newly formed Can-Am team and went on to win his third consecutive 250cc national championship.
