The British manufacturer will continue to supply the triple cylinder 765cc for the Moto2 racing championship for another three years.
Derived from the engine that powers the Street Triple RS, the Moto2 tuned powerplant delivers an impressive 140hp, so it’s no surprise it’s helped some Moto2 records topple over the last few year, including a total of 34 new lap records and the breaking of the 300km/h wall at Phillip Island.
Mark started life on two wheels aged 8 on a Mobylette in his Grandfather’s back garden. It was in the blood; Mark’s Great Uncles raced sidecars at the TT, once finishing 5th. His Grandfather was a speedway rider. As for Mark, he once held a licence to race motorcycles in Italy, has completed the ‘Iron Biker’ challenge around the Alps and one day wants to ride around the entire coastline of the UK on a motorcycle..
