Honda TT Legends team head to Japan for Suzuka eight-hour marathon

The 2011 Endurance World Championship heads to Japan this week for the Suzuka circuit eight-hour marathon as Honda TT Legends' racers gear themselves up to compete.

Bike insurance holders will have no doubt heard of the legendary Japanese motorcycle race on the Suzuka circuit, but it will be the first time any of this year's Honda TT riding team will have competed.

Fresh from successful runs on familiar ground at the Isle of Man TT, 15-time Manx race winner John McGuiness said: "I've raced all over the world but he said I've never raced in Japan so it's completely new territory for me."

Team manager Neil Tuxwell is in no doubt of the scale of the challenge ahead of them, but he said their objective remains to "finish inside the top ten, which will be very hard".

The eight-hour race begins at 10:30 local time or 02:30 BST on Sunday July 31st.
