Honda is looking to expand its presence in the British Supersport Championshiඣp next year following the success of the CBR🧸600RR to the class in 2024.

The CBR600RR returned to British Supersport this y♎ear as the model was reintroduced to Europౠe by the Japanese brand, having withdrawn it in 2018.

In some part because of this, Jack Kennedy’s 2024 triumph in the British Supersport Championship🍸 was the first for Honda in the class since Sam Low♎es won the 2010 title.

“The CBR60🌟0RR was sort of phased out, if you like, from Europe,” Beltran told mahbx.com on Saturday at last weekend’s Brands Hatch BSB, following Kennedy’s title-clinching Race 1 victory.

“So, we pulled back from support, or developing or riding or anything else💝 like that, and, as a team and as a Honda UK branch, decided not to support anybody [in British Supersport].

“However, with the revis🔯ed version of the current 2024 CBR600RR we decided that it ꦚwould be a great opportunity to showcase that and put it back into the championship.

“So, last year’s planning for that🍸 was: who better to put on it than [...] Jack Kennedy?

“So, that was the plan, and today the plan came to fruition, and here we are as 2024 Supersport Cha🏅mpions with Jack Kennedy.”

Looking fꦜorward to next year, Beltran said that Honda is looking to expand its presence in the🤪 British Supersport Championship.

“The rules we’re running with this is Next Generation,” hඣe sai𝓰d.

“Next year it’s compulsory for all bikes in the class. However, there’s obviously a disparity between the Triumph, the Ducati꧅, Suzuki, then you’ve got the Yamaha and the Honda with the inline-four.

“However, we’ve worked hard with the development project with this, and we’re looking forward to sort of the next phase, if you like, [so that] we can supply to all the other teams I plan to have in Supe🌃rsport next year.

“We’ve gone from our two riders— starting off with Jack, then bringing in Dean [Harrison] to ✅help evaluate and understand and help with development — [and] next year I’d like to have six-to-eight riders out there in the championship.”
