Onchan’s Nathan Harrison has confirmed he will still be contesting the North West 200 and TT next year despite not officially being part of the Honda Racing UK team.

It was revealed on Wednesday that Honda would be fielding a two-rider line-up on the roads next season in the shape of 23-time TT winner John McGuinness and Laxey’s resident Yorkshireman Dean Harrison.

The Manxman had a meeting with Honda team boss Havier Beltran on Wednesday afternoon in which the latter man offered Harrison some support for the 2025 campaign.

Nathan said on Thursday: ‘Following the news yesterday that I will not be riding in the Honda Racing UK team, I wanted to reassure everyone that I very much have plans in place to race on the roads in 2025.

‘With the support of Honda Racing UK I can confirm that I will be racing in the Superbike, Superstock and Supersport categories at the NW200 and TT.

‘I will announce more details in due course as these plans are finalised but I want to thank Havier Beltran for his continued support into 2025.’
