● Offered for sale by FHO Racing
● Presented as it finished the 2022 Senior TT

Never before has a 'current' TT-winning motorcycle been offered for sale at a public auction, and Bonhams is especially proud to have been entrusted with finding a new home for Peter Hickman's 2022 Isle of Man Superbike TT and Senior TT-winning BMW M1000RR. Riding the FHO Racing entered, Gas Monkey Garage-sponsored machine, Lincolnshire-based Hickman had won the Superbike race earlier in the week, beating Kawasaki-mounted Dean Harrison into 2nd place, before repeating his achievement in the delayed Senior event on the Saturday, with Harrison once again runner up.

Hickman led from start to finish to win Saturday's race by 16.918s from Harrison. Originally scheduled to take place on Friday afternoon, the race was pushed back to an 11am start on Saturday, and although windy conditions over the Mountain presented a challenge, the race started on time and ran for the full six laps. With an opening lap at 132.381mph, Hickman enjoyed an 8.362sec lead over Harrison. On lap two, he upped his pace to 132.627mph, which proved to be the race's fastest lap and helped increase the advantage over his Kawasaki rival to 14.6sec. After a slightly longer pit stop to take on the necessary amount of fuel, the gap reduced initially on lap three, but by half race distance it had opened to 18.6sec.

With the wind continuing to cause problems over the Mountain, speeds were slightly reduced in the second half but with two more 130mph-plus laps, 35-year-old Hickman was able to control the race from the front to give FHO its third win of the week. His Senior victory was Hickman's fourth of 2022, taking his tally of TT victories to nine and podium finishes to 20 following wins in the Supertwin and Superstock events, and making him only the fourth rider to win four TTs in a week. Peter's efforts earned him the Joey Dunlop Championship with a total of 111 points.

"To win another Senior TT is epic and although conditions weren't brilliant with the strong winds for the first two laps, it definitely improved as the race wore on," said Peter after the finish. "A six-lap Senior race was what we all wanted though, and we managed to get the job done so I couldn't be happier. It's awesome to give FHO Racing three wins out of three at its first TT and I've got to say a massive thanks to the team who've done a fantastic job all fortnight."

A full listing of this highly developed superbike's outstanding specification is available but is far too lengthy to reproduce here. Suffice to say that highlights include a braced frame supplied directly by BMW; a BMW Type 7.1 factory engine and airbox; STM clutch; Akrapovic large-bore titanium exhaust; full Motech electronics; Oz wheels; Suter swingarm; Brembo brakes; Alpha/Bonamici subframe and triple clamps; Talos Designs 24-litre fuel tank; Öhlins suspension and steering damper; and the Dunlop tyres used for the 2022 Senior TT race.

Offered for sale by FHO Racing, the machine comes with their email confirming its provenance and is presented as it finished the 2022 Senior TT with its original race-winning fairing complete with Manx flies! An unrepeatable opportunity.
