BIKES FOR HIRE…

So assuming you’ve made the grade and you’ve been accepted to race at the TT, you’re going to need a bike. And if there’s one thing any TT racer will tell you it’s that the bike you ride makes all the difference. We’re not just talking about horsepower figures or fancy electronics, but whose bike you’re riding and how well it’s been prepped. For regular Fast Bikes readers the name JHS Racing will ring several bells, and they’re also a big name in the TT paddock. Run by engineering guru James Holland, the Factory Suzuki backed outfit’s become renowned for building the fastest Suzuki in the paddock, achieving the third fastest times overall through the Lightweight TT speed traps in 2017.

With over 40 years of TT visits under his belt, and nearly a decade of running his own race team on the Island, you can appreciate why people put their faith in James and take advantage of his immaculately prepared SV650 TT hire bikes. “We can offer the lease of a bike, fuel and tyres for just £4,000. Riders have to sort their own accommodation, but other than that we take care of everything for TT riders, be they newcomers or experienced riders.”
