Team Green just gained Pink! - Kawasaki signs Kaneone
 

Team Green just gained Pink!

Attn Sportbikers,
2007 is starting off with a change of pace for Kawasaki Motor company. The always edgy image of Team Green has lead to their first ever support of a sportbike street stunt competitor. Instantly recognizable for his trademark Pink colouring World Record holder Kane “Insane” Friesen has signed on to represent Kawasaki in the fast growing world of the street extreme. Kaneone will be riding the legendary Ninja Sportbike on the completely redesigned and all new 2007 Zx6R this year, and will be available to be seen at exhibitions, competitions, and bike nights nation wide all season long with an already packed schedule of events available direct off his website. Let the good times roll as Kawasaki once again pushes the envelope into a new era of sportbiking.

“Kane has been a key factor in bringing the street stunt rider image to such a high level of professionalism, and whether its on the track, in a stunt competition or just riding to a bike-night Kane and Kawasaki are both on the same page when it comes to safety, and proper riding preparation.”
– Reid Nordin
Kawasaki Team Green Manager

“It’s an honor to be given this opportunity as a stunt rider, to show such a large and respected company in motorcycling that we as stunt riders are hardworking, professional, and safe. It’s very exciting to me to see this sport that is my life, finally receiving the attention and credit it deserves from the manufacturers of the bikes I love so much”
-Kane “Insane” Friesen

And for those that are wondering ; the Pink isn’t going anywhere.

Thats great!

How about team green signing on with Rob Muzzy to field a ZX14 in NHRA competition? With the exception of Geno Scali's win in 2002, Kawasaki has not had a win since 1992. There were no Kawi's at last years competitions.

Welcome back to NHRA, Kawasaki, hopefully you haven't lost too much of you fan base. I was a big Kawi fan back in the Dave Schultz/Terry Vance days, but with no factory backing of my favorite form of racing, I long ago switched to Suzuki.

Stick with the drag racing, the fans actually support the sponsors!

Don't want to sound like I don't like stuntin', I do mainly because I own a paint shop for bikes. Keep street stuntin, its good for my business. But like drag racing, this sport is better off the streets, and into a controlled atmosphere like a race track.

Good luck with the stuntin', and remember me when you crash!
