Taylor Mackenzie is a former Grand Prix motorcycle racer based in Leicestershire, England. He is the son of a former motorcycle racer, Niall Mackenzie. For 2020, he competes in the British Superbike series, aboard a BMW, after the 2019 season on Supersport 1000. He is brother to Tarran Mackenzie, who also races in the British Superbike series with McAMS Yamaha.

Race history

For the first half of the BSB 2018 season, he rode for Moto Rapido Racing Ducati replacing injured John Hopkins. The team and Mackenzie announced their mutual decision to part company at the Knockhill BSB round practice session on 7 July, due to the rider's poor results. Mackenzie's place was taken by Tommy Bridewell for the remainder of 2018, who returned the team's best results in the Superbike class, scoring four podium finishes, narrowly missing out on a Showdown place and achieving the Riders' Cup at the season finale. Bridewell was retained for 2019.

In 2017, Mackenzie competed in the British Superbike Championship aboard a Suzuki GSX-R1000. Mackenzie has competed in the British 125GP Championship, the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, the British Supersport Championship and the British Superbike Championship. In 2016, Mackenzie won the National Superstock 1000 Championship aboard a BMW S1000RR for Hawk Racing/Buildbase BMW. In 2014, in his second year with Tyco Suzuki, achieved his first ever in the supersport class at Silverstone with a 2nd place finish.

In 2010 Mackenzie rode two wildcard entries in the World Championship, at Silverstone and Valencia, prior to his full World Championship in 2011. During 2010 he finished the British 125 Championship in fourth position, competed in two CEV Buckler (Spanish National Championship) rounds and also rode in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup in which he scored five top-ten finishes.
