TT 2026: Michael Dunlop Honda set to go under hammer this summer with five-figure estimate alongside Joey Dunlop RC30
A Honda raced by Isle of Man TT legend Michael Dunlop will go under the hammer this summer.
The machine joins an ex-Joey Dunlop Castrol-liveried Honda VFR750R RC30 that will also be auctioned by Iconic Auctioneers at the Kempton Park Racecourse in Surrey in July. The RC30 was also previously raced by Scottish motorcycling great Steve Hislop.
The latest addition to the line-up of machines at the to The Iconic Motorcycle Sale is a CBR1000RR Superstock bike raced by Dunlop at the TT in 2010, where he lapped at 128.324mph to set the fastest Superstock speed in practice week.
Dunlop finished eighth in the race after struggling with tyre problems.
The Ballymoney man is the most successful TT rider in history with 33 victories, overtaking his legendary uncle Joey’s tally of 26 wins in 2024.
Dunlop is expected to add to his tally of victories at this year’s TT, where he is among the favourites across the Superbike, Superstock, Supersport and Sportbike classes.
His 2010 Superstock machine was built entirely by Hunts Motorcycle Racing and is still in its original TT race condition and is in running order.
It features a Chris Mayhew-built engine, carbon Akrapovic exhaust, Showa kit shocks, HRC kit wiring loom, K-Tech forks and Ohlins steering damper.
The Honda also comes with a history file of photos, an HRC software CD, a time sheet from the 2010 Superstock TT, a letter from Hunts Motorcycles and a specification list.
The listing from Iconic Motorcycles says the engine has clocked up 1,500 miles and has an estimate of £15,000-£20,000.
The ex-Joey Honda RC30 has an estimate of £60,000 to £80,000.
