New Buildbase Kawasaki team-mate John Laverty and Tristan Palmer unveiled their squad's new colours at the start of a test at Brands Hatch today.

Team Principal Stuart Hicken  said: "We are delighted to once again be part of the Brands  Hatch season launch and to be able to showcase our new livery for the  first time on the Buildbase Kawasaki ZX-10RR.

"We have two new riders  for 2009 in John and Tristan who I believe to be great  talents and I am sure we will see more from them  this season. They have both been BSB Cup  champions in the past and the whole team is now eager to get the  season underway at the Brands Hatch  opening round."
