After 30 years running Kawasakis, Keith Code's California Superbike School is switching to BMW motorcycles for 2010.

Under terms of a new two-year sponsorship agreement with BMW North America, Code's school will run a fleet of 27 four-cylinder S1000RR models and four F800 twin-cylinder models.

Kawasaki Motors ended its sponsorship of the California Superbike School at the end of 2008, but Code continued to work with his existing fleet of ZX-6R Kawasakis while looking for a new OEM partner. He rode a pre-production S1000RR prior to making the deal with BMW North America.

Code said he had "no hard feelings" toward Kawasaki, which discontinued its sponsorship as a cost-cutting move. The new deal with BMW is "a perfect match-up," Code said.
