Mar-Train Racing have unveiled their new Yamaha R6 for the forthcoming British Supersport Championship.
The Northern Ireland based team unfurled the striking traditional blue and white livery ahead of this weekend’s official BSB test at Snetterton.
Mar-Train have joined forces with Dubliner Jack Kennedy as it aims to spearhead the reigning British Supersport champion to a record-breaking fourth title.
The team has renewed its relationship with the three-time champion after he last rode with the Yamaha backed team in 2012 with a successful season culminating in narrowly losing the Supersport title on the final race of the season.
Kennedy rode to this third Supersport crown in 2021 after winning seven races and securing 17 podiums to beat his nearest championship rival by 38 points.
Team owner Tim Martin said: “Mar-Train Racing’s full-time assault on the 2022 British Supersport Championship starts here as we unveil a vibrant and traditional livery in the Mar-Train colours on our Yamaha backed YZF- R6.
“ We’re excited to see what this season brings. Jack is undoubtedly one of the most talented Supersport riders on the grid and we have been working hard behind the scenes to put together a package that we believe can propel him to a record-breaking championship title.”
Kennedy added: “The 2022 Mar-Train Racing Yamaha R6 looks amazing, and I really can’t wait to give its first shakedown at this weekend’s official BSB test at Snetterton.
“It’s great to be returning to Yamaha machinery in 2022 with such as a successful team. The Yamaha R6 has been the most successful bike in just about every international and national Supersport campaign and I know that Tim and Sonya, along with Andy Jamison and Kev Stephenson will have developed a bike that will allow us to challenge for the championship.”
