MSS Discovery Kawasaki has begun their winter test schedule with a positive start on the first day of a three-day test at the Spanish circuit of Almeria. The test is a shakedown of the new-for-2008 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10Rs that riders Stuart Easton and Billy McConnell will campaign in this year’s 12-round series. The team will stay at Almeria for a further two days, before having a day off prior to further testing at the Guadix circuit.
