For the off-road racer, see Mark Miller (racer).

Mark Miller is an American former motorcycle racer in AMA superbike series, an Isle of Man TT winner and Macau Grand Prix competitor.[1]

In 2010 he won the TT Zero race which replaced the 2009 format called TTXGP in which he failed to finish the course.[2] In both events Miller rode MotoCzysz machines, winning on an updated bike designated MotoCzysz E1pc.[3] His victory at the Isle of Man is featured in the film Charge, Zero Emissions/Maximum Speed by Mark Neale.[4]

Miller finished 2nd in the 2011 race and 3rd in 2012, again on MotoCzysz machines. The better-placed finishers were highly experienced TT racers John McGuinness and Michael Rutter who normally competed aboard top-flight conventional petrol (US-gas) engined machines in both TT and short-circuit racing at professional level.

In the 2013 race Miller suffered mechanical failure of his MotoCzysz just after Ballaugh, close to one-half distance around the 37.733-mile one-lap road circuit, whilst his teammate Michael Rutter won at record speed.[5]
