Mugen motivates rider to lose weight for million-dollar bike

We would never call John McGuinness fat. Certainly, as you can see in the video above, the big-boned rider didn't seem at a weighty disadvantage during his win of the 2015 TT Zero electric motorcycle race. Still, Team Mugen believes the Morecambe Missile could improve his chances of winning the 2016 contest by dropping a not-insignificant 10 kilograms (22.05 pounds) of belly blubber, and have offered up a million-dollar machine as motivation. According to a recent report in Motorcycle News, McGuinness has been badgering his bosses for a Mugen Shinden to add to his collection for years now.
