The General

Fast on the roads and sharp off the bike, Lee Johnston brings a modern edge to road racing. A proven front-runner at the North West 200, Isle of Man TT & British Superbikes, Lee is known for his smooth, intelligent riding style and ability to deliver when conditions are at their toughest.

Away from racing, Lee has built a rapidly growing YouTube channel, giving fans an honest, behind-the-scenes look at life as a racer - thoughtful, insightful and refreshingly straight-talking.

That same clarity has earned him widespread praise for his commentary and presenting work at the Isle of Man TT, where his insight and calm delivery have added real depth to race coverage in recent years.

And if you’ve spent any time around him, you’ll know Lee’s witty sense of humour is never far away - whether he’s constantly winding up Helen in ops, siding with Kenny (Head of Ops) against Helen, or mysteriously leaving the RT warehouse with pockets noticeably fuller with pants than when he arrived. Competitive on track, sharp with the banter off it - very much part of the Red Torpedo fabric.
