MID WEEK

Takeshi Katsuya on the Yoshimura Midweek Podcast

Share

 

Presented by Yoshimura
Ever wonder what goes into developing a new motocross bike? Takeshi Katsuya is one of Kawasaki’s most important pre-production test riders, and he also serves as the official Kawasaki MXGP team test rider too. That’s right; in addition to working on next year’s KX models, he helps set up the race bikes for Romain Febvre and Mitch Evans! A four-time All Japan IA2 Champion himself, “Taka” is one of the coolest guys we’ve sat down to do a podcast with. Enjoy!
