Canadian Kawasaki Motors has confirmed its withdrawal of official participation in the Canadian Superbike Series.

Due to the limited level of factory participation and teams, Kawasaki has been left little choice but to end its extremely successful effort in the series. The severe market downturn continues to affect the industry, and without the full support of all manufacturers, Canadian Kawasaki Motors was forced to re-evaluate its future racing investment and direction.

Canadian Kawasaki Motors will ensure that all Kawasaki riders are able to participate with the homologation of current Kawasaki models.

The Kawasaki name has always been synonymous with racing in Canada, through its high performance Ninja brand, and we eagerly await the opportunity to officially re-enter the sport as market conditions improve.
