He'll ride a new Honda Fireblade in Superbike and Senior TT contests
Michael Dunlop will continue his partnership with Hawk Racing for the Isle of Man TT Races in 2023.
The 21-time TT winner will ride a new Honda Fireblade machine for the team in the Superbike and Senior TT contests.
He's expected to ride his own MD Racing Honda in the Superstock class
It'll be the first time the Ballymoney man has ridden a Honda in the Superbike and Senior races since 2013 when he was part of the Honda TT Legends squad.
Meanwhile, Hawk Racing's decision to move to Honda power for TT follows their recent decision to switch to the manufacturer for their latest British Superbike Championship campaign.
The outfit had previously used the Suzuki GSX-R1000R for the last six years.
Speaking about the partnership, Dunlop says it's 'good to get my plans sorted in plenty of time this year', adding this year will be 'the first time in a long time' he's fully fit and on a bike he's set with.
Last year was another strong TT showing for Dunlop on the Snaefell Mountain Course.
He took victory in both Supersport races in 2022, and set a new lap record of 129.475mph in the first of those.
On the Hawk Racing outfit last year, he took a podium spot in the Superbike TT, finishing third, before finishing fifth in the Senior TT.
