"If there’s going to be a year to jump back on the BMW, this is it with the new regulations." Rory Skinner on his move to Scars Racing for 2027...

From arguably having the least desirable bike on the grid to having Tarran Mackenzie, Rory Skinner, Glenn Irwin and Storm Stacey signed up for 2027.

It's been a great few weeks for BMW and this doesn't happen without the introduction of the new @OfficialBSB regulations.

I think we know which team the fans at @krcircuit will be cheering for next season in @OfficialBSB! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s that time of the year again BSB fans… @DoubleRedBSB

[Josh Close @JoshClose7]

@RichardJowitt It certainly has the potential to be great!

Ryde and Vickers were the top scorers in the final 15 races of 2026. Only five points separated them during that run. #Honda #EICMA

It's the second time that Honda have signed the reigning champion in the last few years. Tommy Bridewell took the number one plate there in 2024... and lost out to a certain Kyle Ryde by a single point!!

[Josh Close @JoshClose7]

Kyle Ryde and Ryan Vickers in the same team... This has the potential to be a ridiculously strong year for Honda. The new regulations also mean that Harrison's return to the Superbike class could come at a perfect time for him to move further up the order. #Honda

[Josh Close @JoshClose7]

Dean Harrison gets another shot in the Superbike class as well next year!! #EICMA #Honda

[Josh Close @JoshClose7]

OFFICIAL: Kyle Ryde joins Honda for the 2027 BSB season. Can he end Honda's title draught? Remember, the Japanese manufacturer hasn't won the title since 2013 (Alex Lowes). #EICMA #Honda
