Triple champion Ryuichi Kiyonari completed his first laps of the 2015 season at Brands Hatch today (Friday) as the Buildbase BMW contender prepares for the 2015 MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship.

Kiyonari tested the 2015 specification Buildbase BMW on the Indy circuit after landing back into the UK from Japan just a day earlier. The Japanese rider completed a full day on track and getting his first impressions of the new bike ahead of the official test and opening round.

Kiyonari said:

"Today is the first time on the 2015 bike this year and I am feeling very good with the new BMW. I am a little bit tired as I only arrived yesterday afternoon from Japan, but I am very, very happy with the first ride today. I feel ready for the next test and the start of the season at Donington Park."
