Tarran Mackenzie (born 29 October 1995,[1] often known as Taz)[2] is a professional road racer of solo motorcycles, based in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, England.

Mackenzie won the 2021 British Superbike Championship at the final round in October 2021.[3] With an ambition to eventually compete at world superbike level, no full-season opportunities were available for 2022.

Mackenzie intends to continue in British Superbikes, but has received an offer of a factory world superbike Yamaha machine for three wildcard events, at Donington Park, Assen and a third circuit to be confirmed,[4] during 2022.[5]

Together with his brother, Taylor Mackenzie, also a motorcycle road racer until retiring in late 2021, they are the sons of Niall Mackenzie, a former motorcycle road racer. All three were born in the Stirling area of Scotland.[2] Writing in 2017, Steve Day's feature was headed "MotoGP™ commentator Steve Day looks at the Scotsman ahead of his Moto2™ debut",[6] and, as of 2021, the local newspaper was still referring to "...Stirling's Tarran".[7]

He entered the Moto2 world championship in 2017 as a replacement for Danny Kent, scoring one championship point from a best finish of 15th, achieving 37th overall.[6][1][8][9]
