10 Legendary Motorcycle Riders in Ride 6
#10 Skyler Howes
Skyler Howes is a well-renowned American rider with high potential. He has participated in eight Dakar Rallys to date and has his specialised techniques.
He's a well-recognised rally raid rider for KTM, Honda, and Husqvarna, and continues to participate in global, off-road events.
#9 Guy Martin
Former British motorcycle racer Guy Martin has not only won hearts with his swerves, but also with his documentaries. He was a well-loved motorcyclist at the Isle of Man TT Races (IoMTT) events during his heyday, and not only the fastest racer, but also one who hadn't won a TT race.
Guy Martin's racing career included promising experiences, with notable successes in road racing events. Later, his role in the 2011 movie, TT3D: Closer to the Edge, earned him a spot in the TV world.
#8 Peter Hickman
Peter ‘Hicky’ Hickman is a household name within the British Superbike fandom. He has reigned supreme for 20 years with seven victories to his name.
In addition, Peter Hickman has also bagged nine (IoMTT) records in bike racing, exceeding expectations, including four victories within 2022 and 2023.
He holds the lap record for the Snaefell Mountain Course with his 136.358 mph average recorded in 2023, making Peter Hickman a road race champion.
#7 Thomas Chareyre
Thomas Chareyre, famous for his eight Supermoto World Championships within his 22-year career, has earned the nickname ‘The Legend’ thanks to his stalwart achievements in the world of bike racing.
He has eight French national championships and three European titles in his name. Thomas retired in 2024, putting an end to one of the most historic careers in motorbike racing.
#6 James Toseland
The famous James Toseland began his career in motocross, hopped onto the national circuit, and finally trudged towards his successful Supersport World Championship career.
His smooth progress with two titles won in 2004 finally landed him a promotion to WorldSBK. Fast forward to 2008, his MotoGP switch earned him some fantastic races, before he returned to WorldSBK in 2010.
However, due to an unfortunate wrist injury, he left his glorious bike racing days to take up the roles of a pianist and songwriter.
#5 Niccolò Canepa
Unlike other prominent names within the motocross riders' circuit, Niccolò Canepa didn't have an unforgettable career. Sad to say that he had no victories in Moto2, MotoGP, or WorldSBK, but later made prominent progress.
Niccolò Canepa from Italy was the champion in the 2017 FIM Endurance World Championship, with his teammates:
- France Mike Di Meglio
- David Checa, and
- France Lucas Mahias
While he didn't begin as a notable figure, Niccolò Canepa slowly rose in recognition.
#4 Casey Stoner
Casey Stoner left his mark in motorcycle racing, making his name unforgettable in the industry. This Australian legend has won two championships with two manufacturers throughout his seven seasons in MotoGP.
Stoner achieved 39 MotoGP wins and 69 podiums in 115 races, winning the Australian GP an impressive six straight times. However, in 2012, an injury caused 26-year-old Casey Stoner to take a step back from the professional motorcycle racing circuit, citing burnout and loss of passion.
#3 Ian Hutchinson
Ian 'Hutchy' Hutchinson from Yorkshire, England, proudly holds the record for winning 5 races in the 2010 IoMTT race week. His impressive recovery from the British Supersport race injuries, while nearly losing a leg in the same year, was enough to make him a legend of the sport
His three victories in 2015 had his name etched in the Motorsport Hall of Fame, especially since he was using a thumb-operated rear brake and used his right foot to change gear.
Unfortunately, Hutchinson's leg broke right after his 16th TT victory in 2017, after which he succumbed to a horrible stroke attack in 2023, all of which chipped at his overall fitness. Thankfully, he seemed to have regained his health and vigour in 2025 and might come in as a podium contender in 2026.
#2 Troy Bayliss
The three-time WorldSBK Australian champion, Troy Bayliss, has bagged 52 victories throughout his career. He began racing nationally at 26, and switched the next year to the British championship with Ducati.
Troy Bayliss went on to win the '99 series. Moreover, Bayliss was crowned champion in 2001, 2006, and 2008, recording 52 wins and 94 podiums in 154 starts in his Superbike World Championship career.
#1 Tyler O’Hara
Tyler O’Hara is a multiple American Motorcyclist Association champion, and specialises in bulky motorcycles that utilise saddlebags for balance and storage, AKA Begger Bikes.
He's well-known for setting a speed record on the Bonneville Salt Flats with an Indian Challenger motorcycle, reaching 194.384 mph (312.83 km/h).
