Rea Scores Sensational Double Win For KRT In Thailand
|
5 comment(s)
Jonathan Rea (KRT) scored two emphatic race wins in the first ever WSBK races at the Chang International Circuit and in doing so left the new venue with a ten point championship lead. Tom Sykes (KRT) scored his first podium of the year with third place in race one and is now third in the championship rankings.
The first 20-lap race of the day belonged to Rea from green light to chequered flag, as the Superpole winner became race one winner after setting an unbeatable race pace in the 1’34s for almost the whole race duration.

Two Superpole Wins From Two Races For Rea And KRT
|
4 comment(s)
Kawasaki Racing Team rider Jonathan Rea rode his Ninja ZX-10R to his second pole position start of the season by setting a new track best of 1’33.382 near the end of the second Superpole session. Tom Sykes (KRT) placed fourth and will now lead the second row of starters for Sunday’s races.
Having set a very fast lap in his first outing in Superpole 2, Rea was subsequently overtaken for a time but he made a successful late attempt to start from the best possible position and it put him out in front for the second time in as many WSBK meetings.

Ryan Villopoto wins in Thailand
|
9 comment(s)
Ryan Villopoto clinched victory for the Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team in stifling heat at the Nakhonchaisri raceway, which hosted the Thai round of the FIM World MXGP Motocross Championship.
The ten times US champion showed an immediate liking for the man-made track 35 miles west of the Thai capital Bangkok as he won the qualification race by an amazing 33 seconds as the hard work of midweek suspension testing in Europe paid dividends. With temperatures soaring above 100 degrees Fahrenheit RV2 was content to control the first GP moto by a smaller margin on race day, but was never seriously challenged after sweeping past teammate Tyla Rattray for the lead before turn three. After being forced off the track through the early turns of race two Ryan needed three laps to advance to third place, at which stage the leader already held a five second advantage. The leading trio matched each other's pace for several laps before the Kawasaki leader, secure in the knowledge that his placing would give him the overall success on the day, took no risks to secure the honour. He has also moved up the championship table to fourth, just 18 points shy of the series pacesetter.
Ryan's teammate Tyla Rattray reinforced the power of the KX450F-SR and the commitment of the entire Kawasaki Racing Team when he grabbed the Holeshot award in the first moto and the South African maintained his leaderboard ranking all race to finish eighth. After another strong start in race two, Tyla again finished eighth and has now moved to eleventh in the series standings after two events of the 18 round series. The series continues with round three at Neuquen in Argentina on March 28/29.

Livia Lancelot wins the opener GP in Qatar
|
8 comment(s)
Livia Lancelot took her Team 114 Kawasaki to a double victory in the opening rounds of the FIM Women's World Motocross Championship at Losail in Qatar and was joined on the podium by Meghan Rutledge.
The Kawasaki girls quickly settled in to third and fourth places at the start of the opening moto to keep a watchful eye on the leaders around the tricky track in the desert just outside Doha. When the leading girl fell, both Kawasaki girls, with Meghan in front aboard the Monster Bud Racing Kawasaki, pounced on the new leader to quickly establish their dominance. On the seventh of eleven laps the French girl made a clever inside pass on the Australian teenager to lead to the finish, but a couple of errors allowed the defending champion Kiara Fontanesi to push Meghan down to third.
Podium for Dylan Ferrandis in Qatar

12 comment(s)
Dylan Ferrandis started the FIM World MX2 Motocross Championship with a podium finish at Losail in Qatar for the Monster Energy Kawasaki MX2 Racing Team.
The young Frenchman showed tremendous speed to storm past ex-champion Jeffrey Herlings on the seventh of seventeen laps in the opening race and immediately pulled away until he became nervous and made a few mistakes which allowed his rival to catch and pass him again. Determined to make amends in race two Dylan grabbed the holeshot, but was caught by surprise further round the opening lap. Determined not to make the same mistake as in race one when he showed his card too early Dylan settled in behind Herlings. Unfortunately he was forced to change lines and crashed when his front wheel dropped into a hole. Losing many places Dylan eventually recovered to fifth place in the moto, which guaranteed him a place on the overall podium for the day in third place.

First win for Tixier and Kawasaki
|
4 comment(s)
For his first race on the 250 Kawasaki Monster, reigning MX2 World Champion Jordi Tixier did a couple of perfect races in Hawkstone Park (Great Britain) as he won the MX2 class and battle with the 450 in the last race of the weekend.
After one month of intensive training in Southern France, Jordi joined teammate Thomas Covington in Great Britain for their first pre season race. So early in the season the riders faced some foggy conditions during the practice sessions, but the track was nearly perfect for the races with two heats per class and one super final to end the program. In both MX2 races Jordi came second at the start and then moved to the lead, winning both races to ensure the overall MX2 win. In the super final, as the 250 riders start a few seconds earlier than the 450, Jordi led the first part of the race and then battled with the fastest 450 riders for the final win; third overall and first MX2 rider, Jordi will now race Valence International next weekend alongside Dylan Ferrandis and Thomas Covington.

Boris Savitsky, the General Director of Fudzi Motors — an exclusive importer of Kawasaki motorcycles — has kindly agreed to fill Motonews.ru in on how the Japanese brand is doing in Russia.
How many Kawasaki motorcycles were sold last year, in 2011?
In 2011, Kawasaki sales closed in on the level of 1,500 bikes, which is, objectively speaking, an excellent result. It is particularly important that we reached the cherished goal – 25% of the road bike segment. That’s a new one for us. As for bikes for active recreation, quads, jet skis and motocross bikes, we’re on track to achieve significant progress in 2012.
