In his first professional season (1992), Edwards entered the AMA 250cc National Series.

1993

He won five of the nine races and the national title over second-place earner Kenny Roberts, Jr. In 1993 and 1994 Edwards rode for Vance & Hines on a Yamaha in the AMA Superbike Championship, earning 6th and 5th place overall in those years.

In, Edwards managed several more victories for Honda (including leading teammate Aaron Slight home twice at Brands Hatch, giving Honda a rare Double-1-2) and ended the season in second overall position, behind champion Carl Fogarty.

In, Edwards rode the new Honda VTR-1000 SP1/RC51 twin cylinder motorcycle to overall victory in the Superbike World Championship after Yamaha rider and points leader, Noriyuki Haga was disqualified for testing positive for a banned substance.

Edwards came second to Ducati rider, Troy Bayliss in but reclaimed the title from Bayliss in in a dramatic fashion, clinching the championship in the final race of the season in Imola (Italy).

2001

Rossi took to the new chassis quickly and rode to victory at his home race of Mugello for the fifth consecutive time since 2001.
