John McGuinness builds his own World Supersport replica

The list of things to do if fit and well during lockdown was almost endless. But for 23-time Isle of Man TT winner, John #McGuinness, he bought an ex-Simon Andrews #Honda #CBR600 and, with his son Ewan, rebuilt it into a replica of the bike he raced in the 2002 World Supersport Championship - a part of John's career often forgotten.
In our exclusive video, he talks to BikeSocial's Michael Mann about the bike's history, what he's done to it since... as a perfectionist, as well as his own years racing Supersports in the British and World classes, why things didn't go to plan, the competition, his fellow Brits and how it eventually boosted his career.

Always love seeing Mcguiness...I have a fond memory of seeing him on the ferry to Isle of Man just after his crash at north west. No special treatment he just made his way up the stairs on his crutches into the main lounge and all the passengers cheered, genuinely gave me goosebumps hearing all the fans applaud him

Such a top bloke to listen to is John....no pretentious crap just down to earth nice guy. Met him a few times and he's very approachable and easy to talk to. He's genuinely just a bike nut like the rest of us.👍🏼🇬🇧👍🏼

I still ride a 2004 CBR600 F4i. And it's still an excellent bike, even at 17 years old. Made me very happy to see this: so much love (and bling!) being lavished on an old warhorse.

By reading all these comments it's quite clear that John McGuinness is incredibly loved by so many people. And rightly so. It's the beginning of May. And soon to be the TT Isle of Man 2024! Will John get his 24th win, Or his 48th TT podium? And will he be retiring from it after this year? Let's hope the legend gets the WIN🏁🇮🇲🇬🇧🏆🏍🥇

Unfortunately racing motorcyclists aren't very PC in this current world of sportsmen, yes MBE, CBE's are awarded of course but the ultimate accolades are only given to short career sportsmen with little longevity. I think we should at least by now have Sir John McGuinness and Sir Jonathan Rea
