Michael Dunlop has unveiled the Honda tribute honoring his legendary uncle Joey, to be ridden at the Classic TT.
Joey Dunlop’s iconic win on a Honda SP1 at the Isle of Man TT in 200 came five years after his previous success at the tournament.
25 years ago, Joey triumphed in the Formula 1, Lightweight 250, and Ultra-Lightweight 125 races.
Michael recently surpassed Joey’s record of 26 Isle of Man TT wins, with his tally now standing at 33.
A tribute lap in memory of Joey Dunlop is scheduled for August 29 at the Classic TT, with Michael riding the red Honda SP1.
The tribute lap will take place after the Senior Classic TT, marking the end of the road racing event.
Various tributes honoring Joey’s memory, including a display of his race leathers and helmets, will be featured at the Classic TT, alongside items from John McGuinness and Michael Rutter who shared the podium with Joey 25 years ago.
