The following is from Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., regarding its relationship with multi-time former AMA supercross and motocross champion Ryan Villopoto:
Foothill Ranch, CA (December 13, 2016)–Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. is announcing a continued relationship with Ryan Villopoto.
Villopoto joined the Kawasaki family at the age of 14 as a member of Monster Energy® Kawasaki Team Green. He spent his entire professional career, highlighted by 10 AMA Supercross and Motocross Championships, competing aboard Kawasaki KX™ motorcycles. Villopoto, who has an outstanding fan base and social media following, continues as a Kawasaki Racing Influencer, expressing his passion for Kawasaki Team Green, professional racing and Kawasaki products through his own social media channels, at select events and in several “Science of Supercross” segments in the Supercross television broadcast.
“It means a lot to me to be able to continue working with Kawasaki,” said Villopoto. “I’ve been with them for a long time, and being around everyone is like being with family. Now that my racing career is over I’ve been able to go out and ride other Kawasaki products, and I can’t wait to get on some dual-sport rides and on the new stand-up Jet Ski next spring!”
“We’ve been working with Ryan since he was a teenager and I’m happy we are able to extend our commitment with him,” said Kawasaki Vice President of Marketing Chris Brull. “As a four-time Monster Energy AMA Supercross Champion, he has built one of the largest and most loyal fan bases in our industry, and his influence in the industry is why we are continuing to build our relationship.”
