Motortrade, the country’s leading motorcycle dealer, introduced its newly formed racing team that will compete in the 2023 Philippine Superbikes (PSBK) series.
The Motortrade x WRD powered by Kawasaki Racing Team’s two-bike entry for the 2023 season of the PSBK consists of a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR and a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R.
Racing for the team will be former PSBK Champion and WRD Head Coach Dashi Watanabe, together with IRGP champion and 2022 Pirelli Cup Supersports Lightweight Open Champion Casey Edward Clamor.
For Watanabe, the goal is to make a bid for the championship spot at the 2023 Philippine Superbikes.
Meanwhile, for the 16-year-old Clamor, he aims to break through into the middleweight category and be one of the youngest participants in the said class.
“We are proud and honored to be part of the team together with Motortrade and Kawasaki,” Watanabe said.
“I would like to thank Motortrade for giving me this opportunity to represent them in superbike racing and I would like to thank Kawasaki as well for supporting our team in this race series,” he added.
Races start May 2023
The six-round racing calendar kicks off on May 6, 2023 at the Batangas Racing Circuit and will alternate at Clark International Speedway until its conclusion on October 14, 2023.
“We are very excited with this partnership with Kawasaki and WRD,” said Motortrade Topline Inc. president Victor Ongtenco.
“With the riding skills and prowess of WRD head coach Dashi Watanabe himself, powered by well-equipped, race-capable Kawasaki bikes, it’s the team and bikes to beat,” he added.
Motortrade currently operates three Kawasaki Leisure Bike stores located in Quezon Avenue, Alabang and Naga.
