ROKiT OFF BMW F 900 R Cup & AJN Steelstock Kawasaki British Superteen 37
This year ’s MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship paddock will feature an expanded field of 11 different manufacturers running production derived machinery in at least one competing category. Here they all are, starting from the WorldSBK class.
When the exciting talent of 2021 WorldSBK Champion Toprak Razgatlioglu joined BMW in 2024 the Bavarian company had obviously taken another step forward in their ambitions for the M1000RR as consistently competitive WorldSBK package. Even with several other technical and human developments initiated, few thought that Toprak could really challenge for the title last year. And yet he was a record-breaking 2024 WorldSBK Champion. The ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team, combined with its UK-based SMR partners, will have another updated M1000RR to compete with in 2025.
As well as running the official Aruba.It Racing – Ducati team again in 2025, with an unchanged rider line-up of Nicolo Bulega, Ducati has returned to its previous status as the go-to WorldSBK manufacturer for many Independent Teams. There will be no fewer than eight regular WorldSBK riders on the well-proven Panigale V4R, from absolute rookies in the class to riders like Danilo Petrucci and Andrea Iannone, who won their first WorldSBK races as ‘privateers in 2024. Manufacturers’ Champions in 2024, Ducati will be more than keen to regain the blue ribbon Riders’ title.
Back again on the well-proven and 2021 championship-winning R1, Yamaha’s full factory Pata Maxus Yamaha machines are run partnership between Italian racing base and the Crescent Racing organisation, run from the UK. Background personnel changes have taken place over the winter months, but the riding line up of Jonathan Rea and Andrea Locatelli remains. There will be six Yamahas in WorldSBK, across three teams, plus strong entries on the new WorldSSP R9 three cylinder, and the usual strong WorldSSP300 contingent on the R3. Yamaha won WorldSSP300 Riders’ title last year.

Over the past decade or so Kawasaki has been the manufacturer to beat if you wanted to win any of the major championships in the WorldSBK category itself. With the Barcelona-based Provec Racing outfit heading off to run the new bimota-based WorldSBK challenge Puccetti Racing has taken over the mantle of the official Kawasaki WorldSBK squad. It now runs a one rider Ninja ZX-10RR factory team under the title of the Kawasaki WorldSBK Team. Kawasaki also continues to race in WorldSSP with one official Ninja ZX-6R 636, and competes in much greater numbers in WorldSSP300.
Honda HRC, naturally enough, is the lead team campaigning the CBR1000 RR-R Fireblade once again, and with an unchanged rider line-up of Iker Lecuona and Xavi Vierge. The (then-new homologation) Fireblade and Lecuona jumped on the Race One Estoril podium in 2024 but even greater things are always going to be the ambition for any Honda HRC team. The distinctive two-rider PETRONAS MIE Honda Racing Team again forms the second WorldSBK entry. Honda will run not one but four CBR600RR machines in WorldSSP, in addition to the four bikes that form its full WorldSBK entry. bimota, in its various forms, has won 11 races in WorldSBK, starting from the very first round at Donington Park in 1988. The Italian-based effort is back with an entire new chassis and a derivation of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR engine. In some ways this is a whole new way to go WorldSBK racing. Why? bimota is a manufacturer laden with mystique, yet now enjoying full support from one of the Japanese ‘big four ’ manufacturers. Kawasaki is indeed a part-owner of the bimota company. The Provec Racing outfit will run the KB998 Rimini as the official ‘bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team’.

WorldSBK MANUFACTURERS 39
This iconic British manufacturer has been competing in WorldSSP since the dawn of the ‘Next Generation’ era. There have already been true racing successes for the Triumph Street Triple RS 765, including a full-on race win in year one. The threecylinder machine proved to be podium capable again last year, in the hands of British rider Tom Booth-Amos. He will be joined by Australia’s Oli Bayliss in 2025. This high profile lone Triumph entry is officially called the PTR Triumph Factory Racing team, which is run from the UK by the long-established and respected PTR squad.
The MV Agusta F3 800 RR continues to prove itself podium capable in its 800cc guise, having also had strong success in its previous 675cc iteration. MV Agusta has been ever-present in WorldSSP since 2013, scoring at least one podium each year. There were six podiums for MV Agusta riders in 2024, shared between the official MV Agusta Reparto Corse squad and an Independent Teams entry from the Motozoo ME air racing structure. There will be two riders per team again in 2025, with those existing 2024 squads continuing to take on all comers for this legendary manufacturer.
An all-new entry in 2024, the 800cc four-cylinder QJ Motor started out on an important path for both the Chinese manufacturers and WorldSSP itself. A one rider team gradually grew in stature inside the overall Puccetti Racing structure, and by season-end the bike’s performance was greatly increased as its weight was driven down. The experienced and still fast Raffaele De Rosa even headed up one practice session as the season closed out. The manufacturer has redoubled its efforts for 2025, with proven WorldSSP winner Nikki Tuuli joining De Rosa in a two rider squad.
