Manufacturer says it's because of schedule demands and supply chain challenges
Honda Racing UK will only be running Superstock machines at this week's North West 200.
The manufacturer says this is 'due to the demands of the 2024 calendar and schedule combined with challenges in the supply chain regarding parts and materials.'
As a result, the team will not field Superbike or Supersport bikes and instead will use Superstocks in the Superbike and Superstock categories for riders John McGuinness MBE, Dean Harrison and Nathan Harrison.
Honda Racing UK Team Manager, Havier Beltran, says the situation 'is less than ideal' but they remain 'hugely excited' to see how the three riders perform.
