Kawasaki will be hosting an open day at Knockhill next month, giving fans the chance to push their limits on track, as well as sample the latest 2019 models on the roads surrounding the circuit.

Similar to the World of Kawasaki event that took place at Donington Park on Sunday, June 30, the Japanese manufacturer will take over the 1.27-mile Scottish venue from 1pm on Wednesday, August 7, with gates closing at 8pm that evening.

Track sessions will run from 5pm to 8pm, with six 15-minute advanced or intermediate sessions available to Club Kawasaki members for £49 and £69 for non-members.

The event is free to attend by the public and demo rides are open to all customers, with slots made bookable on the day. Alongside this, riders can also enjoy a health check on their own bike courtesy of Kirkcaldy Kawasaki and Shirlaws of Aberdeen.

Those wanting to sample a brand-new Kawasaki ZX-6R can also do so with the Ultimate Ninja Experience. Open to just four participants at a cost of £319, the lucky guests will receive expert tuition from Knockhill BSB race winner, Danny Buchan, as well as receive a voucher to the value of the experience, which can be spent on a new ZX-6R.

Slots can be booked via No Limits on 01525 877087 and, alongside instructing, Buchan will also be spinning laps on Kawasaki’s own supercharged, 310bhp, H2R demo.

News Editor - I joined the MCN team straight from studying at the University of Sheffield, starting out as Acting Consumer Editor, before becoming the Senior Online Reporter, Senior Writer and more recently the News Editor. Although my first love will always be performance bikes and racing, I have a passion for all things two-wheeled. I did my Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) on my 16th birthday and passed my full test around a year later. I now cover around 20,000 road miles a year on motorcycles of all genres and in all weathers. I have also experienced elements of advanced rider training, tackled countless UK and international short circuits and achieved an ACU race licence to begin a fledgling competition career.
