Honda Racing retain Harrison & McGuinness for roads

John McGuinness and Dean Harrison will team up again at Honda Racing in 2026

Honda Racing have retained the services of Dean Harrison and John McGuinness for the 2026 North West 200 and Isle of Man TT international road races.

Harrison enjoyed a successful 2025 campaign at those major events, taking double success in the Superstock class at the TT in his second season with the Japanese manufacturer.

At the North West, the Yorkshire rider secured runner-up finishes in two Superbike races, both Superstock events and a Supersport race.

'I'm excited to stay with Honda for another year and keep building on all of the hard work we have already done," Harrison explained as the team announced the Bradford rider would make the shift from the Supersport class to the National Superstock series in the 2026 British championship series.

"Winning at the TT again is an obvious highlight from this year and to step back onto the top step of the podium as a factory Honda rider just shows what we are capable of when we put all of the pieces together."

Veteran John McGuinness, a 23-time TT winner, will join Harrison once again on Honda machinery.

The Morecambe man is set to celebrate the incredible milestone of 100 NW200 starts during 2026 race week.

"The position I am in is so unique, to be able to keep on going, keep on doing the speeds we are doing and to keep getting the chance to go and ride my bike, it's unique, and I couldn't be prouder to keep on going and be a part of this team," said McGuinness.
