By For the third successive year, Kawasaki’s official, factory backed roads scene team will be Platinum Club Racing.
At present, there are no formal indicators regarding who will pilot Lee Hardy Racing run ‘Team Green’ steeds, at the Briggs Equipment Northwest 200 and TT Races.
Racers still to disclose 1000cc rides include James Hillier, Dominic Herbertson, Michael Dunlop MBE, Shaun Anderson, Nathan Harrison, Josh Brookes, Ian Hutchinson, Mitch Rees, Jim Hind and David ‘Davo’ Johnson.
Last year, Adelaide ace Johnson gave the King’s Lynn based outfit a top five finish within the RST x D3O Superbike TT encounter.
Before this result, Johnson, the 2019 Superbike Classic TT winner had attained solid NW200 finishes, showing the ZX10-RR model can still hold it’s own with Honda and BMW’s best offerings.
