For some, John McGuinness MBE is the GOAT. He doesn't have the outright win record; that accolade goes to Michael Dunlop, but if there was a trophy for winning the hearts of the fans, it'd sit atop his mantlepiece—it doesn't hurt that he's one of the fastest to ever do it. The Morecambe Missile, as he's often known, built and earned his reputation as arguably the most likable rider to face Bray Hill over 30 years of racing.
Now, Honda is paying tribute to that with a limited-edition CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, not to be confused with the one-off replica the Japanese manufacturer made to honor the man himself earlier this year.
