Guy Martin To Take Part In North West 200
Lancashire man Guy Martin is to make his first international road racing appearance at the 2017 Vauxhall North West 200 in Portrush, Co Antrim on the new Honda Fireblade.
He recently announced that he is to return to the sport with the Honda Racing squad after missing the 2016 season.
Guy will race a Superbike and Superstock version of the new CBR1000RR SP2 Fireblade at the North West alongside six times NW200 winner and new teammate, John McGuinness.
Event Director Mervyn Whyte said: "We are delighted that Guy Martin will be back on the grid at the Vauxhall International North West 200 in May.
"Guy is a huge favourite with road racing fans and the public in general and I am sure a lot of people will want to see how he gets on on the new Honda superbike against the likes of Alastair Seeley, Michael Dunlop and Ian Hutchinson who all won races at last year's North West."
