WSBK – Chris Vermeulen to test at Autopolis

Chris Vermeulen will finally get his first test on the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.
The three day test, organized directly by Kawasaki Racing, starts tomorrow and will take place at the Autopolis circuit in Japan which is owned by Kawasaki.

The Aussie rider will be returning to Superbikes after four years in MotoGP where he won one race at the Le Mans GP in 2007.

Vermeulen will then test his new Kawasaki in Spain with Paul Bird Motorsport’s team which he met during his visit at the Portimao WSBK tests.

The UK based team is now in Macao to compete in the GP at the legendary Guia circuit with Ian Hutchinson and Conor Cummins.
Kawasaki will not be competing in either MotoGP or American or Australian Superbike championships and will focus totally on the World Superbike Championship.
