Aussie racing icon, Matt Moss, will race in the SX1 category for Empire Kawasaki whilst Haruki Yokoyama will compete in SX2.
Empire Kawasaki has confirmed that Matt Moss will be joining the team in the upcoming Australian Supercross Series.
No stranger to the Australian motocross and supercross scene, most will know Matt Moss from the nine championship victories that he has previously claimed.
Team Manager Tyson Cherry revealed that Moss will be competing in the highly competitive SX1 category aboard a Kawasaki KX450.
“I am absolutely thrilled about our signing of Matt Moss for the upcoming Supercross series. Empire Kawasaki is returning to the premium SX1 class. It is exciting to collaborate with this awesome athlete, and we can’t wait to get started,” Cherry said.
Moss seemed to echo Cherry’s excitement, recalling his recent win with Kawasaki on the world stage.
“I am thrilled to be part of Empire Kawasaki for the upcoming Australian SX series. After achieving success with Kawasaki, winning the Prince of Paris last year, I eagerly anticipate building on that success with this fantastic brand and team”, Moss said.
Regular Empire Kawasaki rider Haruki Yokoyama will round out the team’s 2023 supercross entry on the KX250 in the SX2 class.
Yokoyama comes off the back of an eventful season with Empire Kawasaki, where the Japanese racer managed to claim 10th in the SX2 class of the 2023 ProMX championship.
The 2023 Australian Supercross Championship is scheduled to kick off at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on October 7.
The second round will take place at the McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle on November 11.
