The 2022 Isle of Man TT marked an extremely special occasion for road racing legend John McGuinness, MBE. It’s the year that he hit an impressive milestone of 100 TT starts—in addition, of course, to celebrating his 50th birthday. Not a bad way to celebrate, we think. That Honda Racing would eventually pay tribute to his 100 TT starts with a special livery was a pretty foregone conclusion—and sure enough, the team did not disappoint.
It’s now November, 2022, and this year’s IOMTT is firmly in the rearview mirror, but the NEC Motorcycle Live show in Birmingham is just around the corner. It will be held from November 19 through 27, for motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the U.K. to get a good look at the latest and greatest machines on two wheels, up close and personal. It’s fitting, then, that this event is where Honda U.K. plans to unveil its special, limited-edition John McGuinness 100th TT Start Race Replica Honda Fireblade SP.
