Burrows / RK Racing to Ducati for 2025 :
BURROWS ENGINEERING / RK RACING WILL SWITCH TO A DUCATI V2 SUPERSPORT MACHINE IN 2025
Burrows Engineering / RK Racing have issued a press release detailing a big change in their machinery for the 2025 Season…
Burrows Engineering / RK Racing is excited to announce that we will be switching to the Ducati Panigale V2 for the 2025 season. After a lot of success on the Yamaha R6, it’s time for a fresh challenge, and we can’t wait to get started on the Italian machine.
The Ducati V2 has been proven as a very capable package on both short circuits and road racing over the past few years.
For our rider Conor Cummins, this will be a milestone – his first time riding a Ducati. Conor is no stranger to pushing bikes to their limits, and he’s excited to get to grips with the Ducati.
“I am really excited about riding the Ducati V2 next year, it will be the first time I’ve ridden a Ducati and it makes me excited for a couple of reasons. Ducati is an iconic brand within motorcycling and they always turn heads with how cool they look so that is one element. The second reason and the most important being that I think the Ducati will really benefit me in the way it rides. Coming from conventional 4 cylinder 600cc machines I’ve felt that the initial punch off the turn is somewhere I’ve always been compromised because of my stature, but with the twin cylinder Ducati being very strong in the lower rev range I feel that will be a big benefit to my riding. Overall together with the BMW M1000RR’s, I think John and the team have put a very capable package beneath me for next year and I’ll be ready to go come the start of the season.”
For team boss John Burrows, this is also the start of an exciting new adventure with another manufacture which he is looking forward too.
“I am really looking forward to running the Ducati V2 next year, we have campaigned the R6 for a long time now and I felt as if we needed a new challenge and to start to make our way into the new generation Supersport machines. In racing things change fast and you have to run with the times. I had initially thought about running the new Yamaha R9, but again that would have been an unproven package and logistically with timings it might have arrived too close to our important races next year. The Ducati is tried, tested and proven in both disciplines of racing and I felt it was the best package to go with for Conor. Ducati is an iconic brand and I’m looking forward to running it in 2025.”
