The Kawasaki team is one of the most recently formed groups as just in 2007 the team emerged after a business relationship broke up with former partner Haral Eckl –KMGP.

For their debut season in 2007 Kawasaki introduced the 800cc Ninja ZX-RR which possessed new elements which helped the team get back on track.

For the 2008 season the Anglo-American John Hopkins joined the team as former Kawasaki rider Oliver announced his retirement; Hopkins’ career achievements include four podium positions in World Championships besides his early experience at Daytona Racing.

The supporting rider is Australian Anthony West who has been racing since 1994.
