Motorcycle insurance buyers could be keen to see Castrol Honda team launched

A new Castrol Honda team has launched today (January 18th) ahead of the World Superbike championship.

Motorcycle insurance buyers might be particularly interested in hearing the news that the oil lubricants have joined up with the brand.

Jonathan Rea and Ruben Xaus will be riding the manufacturer's CBR1000RR Fireblade, with the season set to start on February 27th at Phillip Island in Australia.

It will be 23-year-old Rea's third season on the vehicle, while Xaus brings a wealth of experience with him to the team after first competing in the championship in 1998 and he managed a runners-up spot in 2003.

He said: "All together it's a big and really exciting mixture and I will give my talent and every effort to help Castrol and the Honda CBR1000RR become a regular winning partnership in the 2011 championship."

After the race down under, the team will head to Portugal in March.
