The 1971 FIM Motocross World Championship was the 15th F.I.M. Motocross Racing World Championship season.
Roger De Coster won his first 500cc world championship for Suzuki in a tight points battle with Maico rider Åke Jonsson. The championship wasn't decided until the final round of the season when Jonsson suffered a mechanical failure.[1] De Coster's victory at the season opening Italian Grand Prix gave Suzuki the first ever victory for a Japanese factory in a 500cc motocross Grand Prix.[2] Joël Robert, claimed his fourth consecutive 250cc title, and second since joining the Suzuki factory racing team. It was his fifth 250cc world championship overall in his career.
