19-time TT winner John McGuinness is to compete at the inaugural Classic TT next August.
He will contest the 500cc race on a Paton machine for Roger Winfield.
Previous pilot Ryan Farquhar, who has now retired, enjoyed considerable success on the bike winning five times at the Manx Grand Prix.
McGuinness says he's looking forward to the new challenge and going back to a different era:
