The Kawasaki drag race team showed the competition that the Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™-14 was the bike to beat in the AMA Dragbike Series. With eight-time drag race champion Rickey Gadson aboard the machine, there is very little standing in the way of him and the end of the drag strip. Kawasaki will also see the return of the Trim-Tex Team Muzzy Kawasaki in NHRA competition with seasoned-rider Ryan Schnitz. With the past two seasons dedicated to development of the high-powered Ninja ZX™-14, the Trim-Tex Team Muzzy Kawasaki team is ready to make an impact on the elite series in 2009.
