Northern Ireland’s Lee Johnston says he has a taste for the podium top step at the Vauxhall North West 200 and will campaign BMW and Triumph machinery in 2015.
The East Coast Racing rider won two races at the first international road race of the season last year but has foregone the Supertwin class to concentrate on the bigger bikes.
"It seems strange that I now live in England, yet one of the biggest races of the year for me is back in Northern Ireland at the North West 200. It's a place I love coming to race at and after the success of last year, we've got a taste for the top step, so let's hope we can do something similar this year.
"Phil has provided me with competitive bikes again this season and although the competition will be pretty stiff here at the North West, I'm sure we can do a good job for East Coast Racing and all our associate sponsors."
