23-time winner 'emotional' after receiving the limited edition Honda Fireblade

John McGuinness has been gifted the gold bike he made his 100th TT start on.

He rode the limited-edition Honda Fireblade to fifth place in the 2022 Superbike race.

At the time, he got a tattoo to mark the occasion permanently.

The 23-time winner was visibly emotional as he was given the machine in front of his friends, family and teammates yesterday.

John says it was the cherry on the cake after a solid day of racing:
