- John McGuinness (born John Warren McGuinness, 16 April 1972) is an English specialist Isle of Man TT professional solo motorcycle rider with 23 wins. Until early 2017 he had a long association with Honda machines having factory support in road races like the Isle of Man TT, the Irish North West 200, the Macau Grand Prix, and on the short tracks in the British Superstock and Supersport series. In May 2017 McGuinness suffered serious injuries during practice for a race in Northern Ireland, ending his race participation for the remainder of the season.
