Team

The Kawasaki BCperformance Racing Team was born out of Bikesconnect’s managing director Kelvin Reilly’s passion for motorcycle road racing. Although a new team to the Australian motorcycle racing scene, we have extensive knowledge and great potential with over 20 years experience around the racing paddocks the world over. Now in our 3rd year of competition, in 2018 we will be competing in the Australian Superbike Championship in the Superbike, Supersport 600 and Supersport 300 categories.

With support from our partners; Kawasaki Australia, Iceberg Enterprises, Outdoor Fabrications Pty Ltd and Landscapesupplies.com.au of whom all make it possible for the team to get on the grid. So please head over to our partners page to check them out.

Racing in a high profile championship and against the toughest competition in Australia means we need to have excellent quality components on our racing bikes. So we choose: IPONE oil, DUNLOP tyres, KTECH suspension, MSC MOTO steering dampers and accessorries, DNA Air filters, SPARK exhausts, VENHILL brake lines, VESRAH brake pads, WOOLICH RACING tuning software, JT sprockets, R&G rearsets and crash protection, DID chains. Whilst the team are dressed in TKD Jeans and genuine KAWASAKI apparel

It takes a group of dedicated and highly motivated individuals to keep the team running smoothly, take a look at our team below:
