John Warren McGuinness MBE (16
April 1972[2]) is an English motorcycle road racer, best known as a specialist
at the Isle of Man TT, where he
has won 23 races and sits 3rd in the all-time win list behind Michael Dunlop and Joey Dunlop. He and Mike Hailwood hold the record for the most Senior TT
wins: 7.
Until early 2017, McGuinness had a long
association with Honda machines, having factory support
in road races like the Isle of Man TT, the North West 200 and the Macau Grand Prix, and also on the short tracks in the British
Superstock and Supersport series.
In May 2017, McGuinness suffered serious
injuries during practice for a race in Northern Ireland, ending his race
participation for the remainder of the season
The accident occurred shortly after
the release of his book.
In January 2018, McGuinness announced his
intended return as a TT rider, but had not sufficiently recovered to compete,
and in April announced that a setback had prevented any competitive riding. He
was able to complete a Parade lap of the TT circuit on a Norton SG4 during the
June 2018 event, but returned in August to win the 2018 Classic TT on the
500 cc Paton.
In May/June 2019, McGuinness returned to
the TT races, riding a large capacity Norton without success, but again renewed
his association with smaller-capacity Hondas, finishing in places 15 and 17 in
the two Supersport 600 races, second place in the TT Zero electric race, and
another win in August's Classic TT, part of the Manx Grand Prix race weeks
In 2013, a left-hand bend on the Snaefell Mountain Course used
for the TT races before the top of Barregarrow on the main A3 road was
named McGuinness's in recognition of his wins, together
with Dave Molyneux who was
similarly honoured.
McGuinness was part of a multi-rider
motorcycle endurance-racing team
called Honda TT Legends. In April 2016, the RAC announced
McGuinness as recipient of the Segrave Trophy for 2015
