For the last test of the year WorldSBK Superbike At the Circuito de Jerez, the Kawasaki WorldSBK team, represented by long-time Kawasaki stalwart Puccetti Racing, revealed the colours in which it will race for the 2025 season.

Mirroring the graphic style livery of the Ninja ZX-10R which will be available at Kawasaki dealerships for the 2025 model year, the Ninja already becomes familiar to the new rider, Garrett gerloff.

In Jerez on November 26-27, Gerloff had the opportunity to make even more progress as he got to know his bike and his team. The Texan set his best lap time of 1'38.839 on the second day, after testing both the qualifying and race tires. The American was the fastest WorldSBK rider on the first day of the two-day test, completing 72 laps on the first day and 78 laps on the second.

The winter break has now arrived for the team in terms of track testing, which will resume in 2025. The first race of the new season will take place at Phillip Island, Australia, from February 21-23.

Garrett gerloff said: “The test was good, and I think it was positive. I think we took a step forward from the last time we were here. It’s really nice to race in official colours at this test and have everything that you can see now. It’s a really big programme and a really big effort from these guys. I know everything will go well, so we just have to keep focusing on ourselves.”

Manuel Puccetti, Team Principal, said: “It was a very positive test, especially considering that Garrett was only on his second outing with Kawasaki. He was always very fast and helped us to have a complete vision of the potential of our bike and the areas we need to focus on in the next tests. We used the 2025 livery for the first time, which I really liked. This is the one that Kawasaki customers will find on the production bike, to which we have obviously added our sponsors.”
