Kawasaki Motors Australia has retained its position as title sponsor of the premier class in the 2020 Mi-Bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK).

Motorcycling Australia (MA) CEO Peter Doyle spoke of maintaining its partnership with the manufacturer, expressing the importance of the brand’s support in the seven-round championship.

“It is great to have Kawasaki Motors Australia renew their support for ASBK and the Superbike class, as they have been a significant supporter of the championship,” said Doyle.

“The support of manufacturers like Kawasaki Motors Australia is vital for the success of any championship to make it stronger, and we are certainly excited for a sensational 2020 ASBK.

“Together, Motorcycling Australia, with Kawasaki Motors Australia sponsorship has grown the Kawasaki Superbike class in recent years, and this year is expected to even be better with fierce on-track battles in the chase for the 2020 Kawasaki Superbike title.”

The series, currently in the midst of its first official two-day test at Phillip Island, is due to kick-off at the seaside circuit on 28 February-1 February alongside round one of the Motul FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK).
