Danny Buchan Becomes Ambassador for Junior BSB Series

After announcing his surprising retirement from BSB at the end of 2024, Danny Buchan has not gone far as he will remain in the paddock as an ambassador for the junior Superteens championship.

Buchan, who enjoyed most of his British Superbike success with BMW, decided to call time on his racing career at just 31 years of age following a difficult 2024 season with Kawasaki.

A six-time race winner during his British Superbike career, Buchan’s new role sees him join the championship as a mentor for young riders.

The series made its debut in 2024 and currently uses identical Kawasaki ZX-4RR machinery for the entire grid. Buchan decided to cut short his racing career after struggling with injuries, but he has revealed his excitement for the new role.

“Obviously I was excited to get the call up from Kawasaki with this opportunity.” Buchan said. “I was one of the first Team Green riders back in 2010 and my roots run deep with Kawasaki, so helping out today’s young riders with the experience I have gained in all my years of racing was a no brainer.

“It takes so much effort by everyone involved and I was lucky enough to have some real important figures around me when coming through the ranks, such as Nick Morgan from MSS Performance who helped catapult my career with his knowledge of the sport so I hope I can do the same with these youngsters, help kickstart their careers and help steer them in the right direction for their years ahead in the sport. I’m looking forward to meeting them all at round one in May.”

The 2025 British Superbike Championship kicks off in May with the season-opener at Oulton Park, but not before three pre-season tests all of which take place next month, starting with a two-day official test at Navarra on 6-7 April.
