After a decade on a Honda Conor Cummins will compete on a BMW with the Burrows Engineering by RK Racing Team at the 2025 Isle of Man TT.
Conor Cummins has signed for the Burrows Engineering by RK Racing Team for the 2025 Isle of Man TT. The Manx man will ride a BMW M 1000 RR in the RST Superbike, RL360 Superstock, PE Superstock, and Milwaukee Senior TT Races.
The 2025 TT will be the first time that Cummins has ridden for the German manufacturer. The 38-year-old had previously spent a decade with Honda in the official Honda team and the Padgetts squad.
After withdrawing from the 2024 Isle of Man TT Cummins is eager to fight for the top positions in 2025.
"John (Burrows) and I go back a long way from when I competed against him on the Irish roads and I’ve got a lot of respect for him, both as a rider and a team manager. So, I’m ecstatic to have signed for the Burrows Engineering by RK Racing team," Cummins said.
"I’ve obviously spent a lot of time on Honda machinery so the BMW will be a new challenge, but I’ve seen at close quarters just how strong a package it is. The results at the TT speak for themselves, and having had a brief spin on the FHO Racing BMW at Armoy, I’m excited about riding John’s bike."
"The machinery is going to be of the best quality and it’s a complete reset for me and a new chapter in my career. There’s no pressure from the team and John just wants me to enjoy riding his bike but we both have goals we want to achieve as well.
"The results won’t be given to me, and we’ll need to work hard but getting back on the TT podium is where I want to be. The programme is all set, and I know where I’ll be riding and when so I’m really excited about our 2025 prospects."
Cummins preseason testing will take place in Spain, before participating in the opening round of the National Superstock Championship at Oulton Park. Cummins will also race in the North West 200 ahead of TT qualifying.
