Padgett's reveals secret bike
Bruce Anstey will race a Honda RCV-V4 in the Superbike and Senior races at the TT.
The Valvoline Racing by Padgett's team has been secretly working on a production version of Marc Marquez's MotoGP bike for several months.
Ten-time TT winner Anstey is said to be looking forward to racing what he terms "an absolute weapon".
Team boss Clive Padgett says he wanted to do something a little bit different:
FC Isle of Man claim comeback win to secure league safety
FC Isle of Man to host struggling City of Liverpool
