Canadian Kawasaki Motors Inc. is excited to announce that racers Jordan Szoke and Connor Campbell will be back for the 2025 Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship.
For the upcoming season, Jordan Szoke will be competing on a new Waznie Racing Ninja ZX-10RR with support from Kawasaki and Importations Thibault. Szoke aims to add to his record tally of wins.
“I am really excited for this year in so many ways. My training and health are so much better. The big bonus is that we will have the Ninja ZX-10RR this year which has the [Pankl titanium] rods and pistons. Between the electronics, the engine parts, the extra weight we shaved off the bike, and my health and training, I feel we can win.”
Fellow Kawasaki pilot and 2024 CSBK Rookie of the Year, Connor Campbell, is looking to improve after a tumultuous first season with the ZX-10R. The BT McFarlane-backed Campbell has undergone extensive pre-season training and testing with an eye on increasing his race pace for 2025.
“We’re stoked to be back on the ZX-10R this season,” Campbell said. “We are looking forward to battling near the front after a tough first season in the Superbike class. We have the right set up going into 2025 and we are looking forward to it!”
Joining the two Pro Superbike riders on a Ninja ZX-6R in Pro Sportbike is Snow-City Cycle and Kawasaki-backed Mack Weil. Fresh from a championship year on the Ninja ZX-4RR Weil will refocus his attention on the Supersport category for 2025, a class in which Weil has shown flashes of speed and in which he expects to improve.
Kawasaki is the longest continuous partner of the Canadian Superbike Championship having supported riders in each of the five decades of CSBK action. In 2025, Kawasaki will once again lead the way by offering the largest contingency program of any OEM—with almost $150,000 of contingency prizes on offer across all six classes of the Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship.
The first round kicks off May 16-18 at Shannonville Motorsports Park in Ontario.
