Ballygowan rider Michael Pearson will spearhead the 2010 Irish and Ulster Road Race Championships using Kawasaki power with the 32-year-old Co-Down man having Superbike and Supersport 600 Kawasakis at his disposal.
Pearson will be equipped with the ex Ryan Farquhar 2009 ZX10 Kawasaki that took the Dungannon rider to the Irish Superbike Road Race Championship this year, with the machine being supplied by Aghadowey building contractor Ivan Morrell.
A new Supersport 600 Kawasaki which will be race prepared by MSS Kawasaki, is being added to the Pearson stable with this machine being supplied by Pearson's long time sponsor, Davy Greer of Carryduff Forklifts.
"I am delighted to have my machines for 2010 sorted out at this early stage, and now I just need to try and attract sponsorship to run both machines," said Pearson.
"I am indebted to Ivan Morrell who has purchased the ex-Farquhar Kawasaki Superbike for me to ride in 2010, with the machine being ridden under the Morrell Racing banner. Davy Greer and I have decided to go with a 600 Kawasaki in the Supersport class in 2010, as I will be having one of the new 600 Kawasakis fully tuned by MSS Kawasaki, and run in the Carryduff Forklifts livery.
"I have never ridden Kawasakis in the past so it is a whole new ball game for the team. I tested the Superbike at Kirkistown last week, and I was very impressed with the bike on how she handled and the power compared to my old R1 Yamaha was like chalk and cheese, so I am very excited about next season on this machine."
