The Kawasaki Supersport class has been one of the most successful feeder categories for the Superbike class since the early 1990s. With rules similar to those of Superbikes, Supersport class is open to 600cc four-cylinders, 675cc three-cylinder and 750cc two-cylinder production-based machines. With similar handling characteristics and suspension adjustability to the Superbikes, Supersport is an ideal platform for riders to learn and hone racecraft and suspension tuning without having to deal with brute horsepower. They also run treaded production race tyres rather than slicks.

Permitted changes include ECU mapping, rear-set foot controls, exhaust, cam timing, gearing, brakes, clip-on handlebars and minor suspension modifications.
