Honda’s fascination with road racing dates back to 1959 when the company made it historical road racing debut at the Isle of Man TT. Over 50 years later on and Honda is still competing at the most famous road race of them, having chalked up over 150 wins across a variety of classes at the event.

For 2012 the Honda TT Legends team will compete once again at the Isle of Man TT and at selected road races. They will also compete in the Endurance World Championship, aboard the CBR1000RR Fireblade.

Isle of Man TT
The legendary Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) Race has been held annually since 1907. The race is run in a time-trial format on public roads closed for racing by the parliament of the Isle of Man. The first race was held on 28th May 1907 and was called the International Auto-Cycle Tourist Trophy.

The 2007 Isle of Man TT was the Centenary event, which featured a special re-enactment of the 1907 Isle of Man TT Race and a parade of 100 classic motorcycles amongst other celebratory activities.

The 37.75 mile long TT mountain circuit is one of the greatest challenges any racing motorcyclist can take on, but it is not for the faint of heart. Each year some 500+ riders arrive on the Island to take on the challenging mountain circuit in either the TT races in June or the Manx Grand Prix races in late August.

The International North West 200 is Ireland’s largest outdoor sporting event, attracting crowds in excess of 150,000 as well as the biggest names in motorcycle sport. The North West 200 circuit runs between the towns of Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine in Northern Ireland – an area of outstanding natural beauty and home to the world famous Giant’s Causeway. ‘The Triangle Circuit’ as it’s known, is nine miles long and is one of the fastest in the world, with speeds regularly hitting 200mph!
