Jonathan Rea World Superbike on eBay and here's how you can buy it

How would you fancy owning one of Jonathan Rea's iconic World Superbike machines?

The Kawasaki Racing Team has announced a 'one in a lifetime heritage experience auction' where fans can bid to win a modified version of the bike Rea rode at the Argentinian round of the WSBK Championship in 2021.

You could win a unique experience combining a road going replica kit, matching leathers and track experience with KRT riders Rea and Alex Lowes through the auction which was launched on eBay on Wednesday.

One bid appears to have already been placed on the bike, coming in at a whopping 70,000 euro.

The bike that Rea raced on has been dismantled at the KRT workshop in Granollers near Barcelona and rebuilt as a faithful replica of the racing machine with the added advantage that it will be fully road legal.

The KRT said: "Jonathan fell in love with the re-imagining of the ZXR750-H style of 1990’s as soon as he saw it; an era when the likes of Scott Russell, Robbie Phillis, Doug Chandler and Aaron Slight rode for the green team.

"Resplendent in his custom made Alpinestars leathers, the six-time WorldSBK Champion lined up on the grid and wound the clock back to a golden era of Superbike racing."

Only one of this style of machine has been created by the same mechanics that work on Rea's racing Ninja bikes and will be accompanied by an exclusive “ownership package” that includes a Certificate of Exclusivity from KRT.

The lucky buyer will be accommodated in a Barcelona hotel and be able to spend a day Barcelona-Catalunya circuit with the team and its hospitality as it tests at the end of March… and will even have 30 minutes of track time allocated alongside the KRT riders.

And to ride their newly purchased pride and joy the winner of the ZXR750 style machine will be kitted out with unique Alpinestars racing leathers.

The auction is being handled by Provec Racing and you can check out all the details HERE
