Kawasaki hoping the bikes will be run by a privateer crew. Fingers crossed I guess. I don't know anything about riders though, since Marco and Hopper would have been contracted to Kwak. Still, at least there's hope of a larger grid than we may have feared. I wouldn't want to invest big $$ in running those bikes with no factory support though, here's hoping someone will, or at least Kwak make it so cheap that someone will.
