He was also caught holding a stack of pulled Greggs goods with a cigarette dangling from his mouth as chaos swept through the city.
Honey, who wore a distinctive white shirt with a large St George flag on it, has now ended up behind bars after pleading guilty to violent disorder and three charges of burglary.
The youth also pleaded guilty to racially motivated damage after smashing a BMW and nine other cars during the August 3 riot.
He helped in the motorbike attack along with David Wilkinson, 48, another member of the “pouring mob” who has been jailed for six years.
And 45-year-old Paul Williams was jailed for 26 months after threatening riot police while throwing a metal fence and throwing a beer can at them.
Honey’s sentencing was adjourned until today after a prison officer claimed Honey asked if I wanted his autograph because he’s “famous and all over social media”.
In a letter written by the officer to the judge, he was described as “overconfident” and someone who “presented himself without remorse”.
A victim impact statement from Lush store managers said the incident had a “huge impact” on staff.
Some of the employees claim that they “can’t bring themselves to go back to the store because they’re afraid it will happen again.”
The probation officer also detailed how Honey described how he “went to Greggs for a drink because the pepper spray made him thirsty”.
Police later confirmed that 11 officers were injured as the city was covered in rubble from the rampage.
