Joe Burns will make the switch up to the MCE British Superbike Championship in 2015 with the newly-formed In House Developments Kawasaki team.

Burns returned to the BSB grid last season with a wildcard appearance at Assen in addition to lining up in the Superstock class and is now working on a winter testing programme ahead of the team’s BSB debut season. Burn’s new team features title sponsor In House Developments, which specialises in building and facilities management.

“I can’t thank everyone involved at In House Developments enough for this great opportunity. We are building a new bike for the season and we aim to be testing towards the end of January and the start of February. I am over the moon to be moving into the Superbike Championship, I feel that I am at the point now where I wanted to move up and I am really chuffed we have been able to make it happen in 2015,” said Burns.

“I know the Kawasaki very well and the team of guys around me is set to be extremely strong. We think that top ten finishes aren’t out of reach. The package will be by far the best I’ve been involved with to date so testing can’t come soon enough.”
