Jonathan Rea on the road, and the beach!

Despite winning the World Superbike Championship six times on the bounce, Jonathan Rea, only recently passed his UK motorcycle test. Unsurprisingly, the 34 year old was successful at his first attempt and has now acquired his first road bike, a Kawasaki Z900.

The Ballyclare man’s first ride on his new machine was along the beautiful Northern Ireland coast road, including a spin along the beach at Downhill.

Rea was waved off on his maiden journey by Laurence Ferguson, proprietor of Coleraine Kawasaki who supplied the new bike and Stephen Mills of Moto Training who guided the WSBK champion through his road test.

“I am so happy and proud to have passed my motorcycle test.” Rea said.

“It’s been something I have wanted to do for such a long time but with my sporting commitments and busy calendar it has been tough.”

It has been a very positive test and it is always nice to test in the middle of the season to try out some ideas. We worked on many different items and we have already found a couple that improved the base package of the bike. We will continue working in that direction at the next round in Navarra, to confirm what we found here at a different track layout. I want to thank all the team, all the staff, because it has been very busy in the last few weeks and they gave 100% all through the test, working in very hot conditions. This test also gives us lots of information to start the Barcelona race weekend in a good way. I am looking forward to a couple of days relaxing before we get back on track soon to race at Navarra
