Resumo da temporada

Mike Hailwood conquistou facilmente sua quarta coroa consecutiva nas 500 classes para MV Agusta, embora estivesse começando a mostrar seu desencanto com o autocrático Conde Agusta ao aceitar uma corrida de 250 classes da Honda. O novato Giacomo Agostini participando da MV Agusta enfrentaria o atual campeão da Honda, Jim Redman, pelo título de 350. O resultado não seria decidido até a corrida final do ano no Japão, quando o MV Agusta de Agostini sofreu uma falha mecânica, entregando o campeonato a Redman.

A dupla Yamaha de Phil Read e Michelle Duff terminou em primeiro e segundo na classe 250, enquanto Redman da Honda lutava contra lesões no início da temporada. Hugh Anderson venceu seis corridas para conquistar seu segundo campeonato de 125 pela Suzuki, enquanto Ralph Bryans, da Honda, conquistou a coroa das 50cc à frente de seu companheiro de equipe da Honda, Luigi Taveri.
