For the 2025 World Superbike season Puccetti Kawasaki Racing will become the official Kawasaki Team.

Since the 2017 World Superbike season Puccetti Racing have run Kawasaki machinery, but with the Kawasaki Racing Team merging with Bimota for 2025 Puccetti Racing will become the factory Kawasaki squad.

Puccetti Kawasaki Racing will run a one-rider team with Garrett Gerloff piloting their Kawasaki ZX-10RR. Gerloff will get his first outing on the Kawasaki this week on the 22nd and 23rd of October at the 2025 World Superbike pre-season test at Jerez.

Team Principal, Manuel Puccetti, said: "It is hard to put into words how the whole team feel about being chosen to run Kawasaki's official Ninja attack in WorldSBK. Of course, we are honoured, but we also know the level of expectation that Ninja fans worldwide will have.

"It is a huge responsibility, and we take it extremely seriously. We hosted representatives from Kawasaki Motors Corporation and Kawasaki Motors Europe at Jerez, and they reinforced what an opportunity we now have.

"We are using the post-season tests to re-focus on every layer of the team structure and make any necessary fine-tuning so that we can mount an effective challenge in two important World Championships. The time is right for a new dawn in our long history, and we are making ready to take our Kawasaki story to the next level in 2025."

The Puccetti Kawasaki Racing team will also continue to run in World Supersport in 2025. The team will run the new 636cc version of the Ninja ZX-6R, which has been submitted to the FIM for race homologation.
