MSS Colchester Kawasaki will be embarking on a roads campaign with talented Northern Ireland youngster Adam McLean in 2017.

Having impressed many as he won last years’ Irish Road Race 125/Moto3 Championship, McLean will make his TT debut this year as a Newcomer. He will ride a specially prepared MSS Kawasaki ZX-6R race machine from the renowned Kawasaki tuning experts alongside support from Team Hotties.

McLean has been successful at both short circuit and roads events in England and Northern Ireland in events as diverse as the European Junior Cup at Silverstone, Southern 100, Ulster GP, Oliver’s Mount, Cookstown and Kells.

MSS owner Nick Morgan has been especially impressed with the racing abilities of the 20 year old bricklayer from Magherafelt, Northern Ireland. The team (MSS-Hotties) will supply a race bike to run in the Supersport classes at the TT, North West 200 Ulster GP, Southern 100, Scarborough and selected Irish road race events.

“I’m looking forward to stepping up this year and having a Kawasaki ZX-6R specially prepared by MSS gives us a great opportunity with the right equipment. We have lots of events to do but of course the TT is the big one and it’s something I've always wanted to do. Riding as a Newcomer and being only 20 means I have plenty of time to learn and not get carried away first time out,” said McLean.
