Paul Bird Motorsport (PBM) return to the British Superbike Championship from the world stage in 2012 as the team bid to add to their two consecutive BSB title victories with the late Steve Hislop and Shane 'Shakey' Byrne from 2002 and 2003.
The team have one of the strongest pedigrees in the British paddock and led by Team Owner Paul Bird they have amassed over 30 race victories and also secured championship wins in both the British Supersport and formally the British 250cc class.
The team had a strong start to their season with Shakey a proven winner and a championship favourite whilst Easton is gathering strength and confidence fast after scoring a podium finish last time out. Both should be fighting for the top six ahead of the Showdown.
When we decided to return to British Superbikes, signing both Shakey and Stuart was always the plan and I’m delighted they’ve come on board with us. We’ve won British championships as well as World championship races together and for me it’s my dream team. We have proved that the Kawasaki ZX-10R is a fantastic bike and have won on it at BSB in 2010 so we know what we need to do. I promised Stuart a deal straight after his crash and he’ll be back to full fitness very soon and with Shakey keen to make up for missing out this year, we are ideally placed.
