Kawasaki is excited to kick-start 2026 with the announcement that it is partnering with the legendary James Whitham Track Training Days, supplying the school with both Ninja ZX-10Rs, and Ninja ZX-6Rs, which will be used by the coaches throughout the year.
Created with the ethos of low-number groups to maximise both track time and tuition, the James Whitham Track Training Days allow riders of all levels to improve their skills and enjoy the thrill of track riding in a safe and controlled environment. Each day will see small groups based on rider experience teamed up with a well-known racer, who provides expert tuition and feedback. This year will see a star-studded lineup of BSB and TT racers, including the AJN Steelstock bimota duo of Max Cook and Joe Talbot.
Kawasaki is proud to be partnering with Whitham for 2026, supplying a host of track-proven machinery for the coaches to use. This year will see the school host over 25 dates at some of the UK’s leading circuits, including Anglesey, Croft, Cadwell Park and Mallory Park.
James Whitham:
“I’m really excited to be teaming up with Kawasaki for 2026! Although I’ve only ever raced a Kawasaki once in my career, I’ve been friends with the team at Kawasaki UK for over 25 years, and the Ninja family’s pedigree on track is renowned. The bikes are going to be the perfect addition for our instructors, ensuring our customers are able to get the very best track tuition possible.”
Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki Motors UK:
“So many of our customers are keen trackday enthusiasts, so to be able to work with James and the team and offer a safe and enjoyable environment in which Kawasaki riders can hone their skills is fantastic. Throw into the mix that they can ride on track with, and learn from our official Superbike team riders is the icing on the cake. We are confident many new and existing Kawasaki riders will be chomping at the bit to sign up to a James Whitham Track Training Days School during 2026! ”
