Dave Cullen and I have been making changes to the suspension on my ZX-6R and it’s paying off, we’re getting faster! It’s awesome to get the Kawasaki on the top of the podium and I’m looking forward to the Australian Championships.”

KRT Manager Dave Cullen says, “Congratulations to Shawn, he rode consistently to win the meet. It was great preparation for him and stands him in good stead for the upcoming season. Scott “Eddie” Charlton, after only half a day of testing on the new ZX-10R did really well to finish in 2nd place. We’ll continue testing this brand new ZX-10R Kawasaki to have it ready and at its best for the opening round of the Australian Superbike Championships at Eastern Creek in March. "
