For some race fans, John McGuinness MBE, or 'The Morecambe Missile' as he's known, is their king of the Mountain Course. Although he's not the winningest rider of all time, it's not hard to see why, to some, he's the GOAT. As of the time of writing, McGuinness has 23 IOM TT wins, 47 podiums, 25 fastest laps, 114 race starts, 95 finishes, and 25 fastest laps, and he was the first rider to break the 130 mph average speed record.
McGuinness has achieved all his accolades over the span of 30 years, and to celebrate his three decades of racing, Honda has cooked up something particularly special. The Japanese manufacturer, with which McGuinness has spent the majority of his career working, created a special livery to celebrate the rider's 30th TT anniversary. The design takes inspiration from the Paul Bird Motorsport RS250R a 24-year-old McGuinness made his TT debut on in 1996.
