World Superbikes secures Kymco backing

Taiwanese motorcycle company Kymco has agreed a deal with the Superbike World Championship’s (WSBK) commercial rights holder Dorna Sports to become a technical supplier to the series.

In 2014, Kymco will provide Dorna staff with a fleet of its Agility 60 R6 4T scooters for use at and around WSBK events.

Kymco Padana Ricambi spokesman Luca Paletti said: “We are really pleased to become part of the World Superbike family and offer our machinery within a series that can give us great visibility worldwide.”

WSBK has six race meetings remaining in its 2014 schedule, beginning at Portimao, Portugal this weekend.
