Something a touch different today, as I showcase per year the most successful manufacturers at the TT Races from 2010-2019, based around the silver replica finishes gained by competitors piloting their brands machines.
Overall the top five marques in terms of blue riband replica finishes through the 2010’s are No.1 six times successive World Superbike Champion’s Kawasaki (235 silver replicas), No.2 Honda (215 silver replicas).
No.3 Mountain Course lap record holders (Thanks to world’s fastest road racer Peter Hickman) BMW (109 silver replicas), No.4 Yamaha (84 silver replicas) and No.5 Suzuki (57 silver replicas) who celebrated in 2010 their 50th anniversary of competition at the world’s most prestigious, famous road race.
