Our mission is to grow Kawasaki racing throughout the Channel Islands by bringing together enthusiasts of all experience levels and creating opportunities to compete, learn, and represent one of motorcycling's most iconic brands.
From sprint events and hill climbs to the Jersey International Motoring Festival (JIMF) and selected off-island events, our team proudly showcases the performance, engineering, and heritage that Kawasaki is known for. Every rider competes on their own Kawasaki motorcycle while benefiting from the support of a team that values professionalism, camaraderie, and continuous development.
