British World Superbike contenders Leon Haslam and Jonathan Rea have unveiled the Pata Honda colours under which they will run this season.

The pair took to the stage in front of a big crowd at Motor Bike Expo, Verona’s annual motorcycle exhibition.

“It’s great for me to be back with Honda for 2013 and I’m really happy with the whole look of the Pata Honda team. We’ve got a two day test in Jerez next week before all the kit has to be packed up for Australia. The first round can’t come soon enough for me," said Haslam.

Rea added: "I think the bikes and the leathers look great and we know that there are some exciting developments for the CBR for this season, so I can’t wait for it to start.”
