The teams were testing in advance of the Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown, presented by Supercuts, May 18-20, in the Sonoma Valley.

The test featured 10 riders from Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha and Corona Honda. All teams will return for a second day of testing on Friday, and they will be joined by Suzuki, featuring defending AMA Superbike champion Ben Spies and six-time Superbike champion Mat Mladin.
