TAG Honda unveil their 2021 Bennetts British Superbike livery ahead of the opening test at Silverstone on April 28-29.
Dan Linfoot and TAG Honda showcase the first images of their new CBR1000RR-R bike ahead of the opening pre-season test at Silverstone.
Linfoot joins Honda following a 2020 season that saw him finish tenth for BMW in the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 championship.
The move to Honda also means a return to British Superbike for Linfoot who’s last full season came with Santander Yamaha in 2019.
Linfoot added: I am really excited to get back on the bike this week, being back in superbike with TAG Honda is a really exciting time for us all, with the support from Honda UK we are all chomping at the bit to get started.

This means that there will not only be a strong bond with the head office in Japan (cough, and HRC), but the whole squad will be part of a bigger project, that aims to further their riders’ careers.
As a part of this new agreement, Honda have signed Japanese ace Ryo Mizuno, alongside Glenn Irwin. He may not have ridden any of the UK circuits just yet, but Mizuno’s got a shed-load of experience, spending a load of time in the All-Japan series where he’s a double champ, alongside riding at the Suzuka 8 Hours.
I’m sure they’re hoping that he can replicate Kiyo’s stonking BSB record.
