In an epic battle David Jefferies won the 2002 Duke TT Formula One TT by under half a second from John McGuinness riding the 954 Honda Fireblade offered here. The previous seasons TT had been cancelled due to the foot and mouth outbreak, a source of a great deal of frustration for the Honda team who had commissioned Paul Bird Motorsport to build a dedicated Road Racing machine based on the Fireblade. The cancellation of the TT resulted in the machines only competitive outing being the Macau Grand Prix which it won with John McGuinness in the saddle.
For 2002 Honda ran two teams at the TT, the Irish based Red Bull team and the Paul Bird Motorsport team with John McGuinness.
Unfortunately 2002 was destined to be David Jefferies year winning the Production, Senior and Formula 1 TT's on the Suzuki.
The machine is offered in excellent condition having resided in a collection since retiring from racing and retains the special factory HRC parts presenting the collector with a unique opportunity to add a significant machine with impeccable history to their collection.
