North West 200 glory bid helped by move to Kawasaki, insists Adam McLean

Adam McLean's main priority will be the Supersport and Supertwin events at the North West 200

Adam McLean is quietly confident a change of manufacturer in the Supersport class will boost his chances of a podium challenge at May’s Briggs Equipment North West 200.

The Tobermore man finished seventh in the Supersport races at the north coast meeting in 2023 on his Yamaha R6, but McLean will ride a Kawasaki 636 for Banbridge team J McC Roofing Racing at the first major road race of the season, which takes place from May 8-11.
