Kawasaki unveils 2016 WSBK livery

By: Cycle Canada Published on 17 February 2016

Kawasaki Racing Team World Superbike riders Jonathan Rea and Tom Sykes each got an all-new Ninja ZX-10R, complete with comprehensive technological advances, for the 2016 season. And though the bikes looked good in winter-testing black, KRT unveiled its 2016 livery in Barcelona late last week. 

“Most bikes I’ve ever ridden, you see them and it takes some time but when I saw the bike I was like, ‘Wow, they got the design right!’” said Rea. “I’m really excited about riding it, especially with the first round coming up. I can’t wait to race now.”

Sykes also commented: “I’m very blessed to have this package underneath me for 2016. I can’t wait to begin!”
