mugen, the company, best known for designing and distributing aftermarket performance parts for Honda vehicles, has for the past five years been building bikes to compete in the TT Zero: the world's premiere electric motorcycle roadracing event. It's won the last three, after coming in second place in its first two attempts. Team Mugen are the odds-on favorite this year as well, and with top-notch veterans John McGuinness and Guy Martin named as riders, are expected to again set a new record, surpassing the 120 mile-per-hour average speed mark they came so close to last year.
