Honda BSB presence expands further with latest one-bike team switch
Ho🐟nda gains another spot on the 2025 BSB grid as Rapid CDH swaps Kawasaki ma♒chinery for the Fireblade.

Another team has announced a switch to Honda machinery for the 2025 BSB season, as the CDH Racing t▨eam joins the ranks of the Japanese manufacturer.
Ho𓆉nda’s presence is much expanded over 2024, with two confirmed bikes for the factory team backed up by two-bike entries from Hawk Racing, DAO Racing, and TAG Racing, plus a number of one-bike efforts.
The latter group now includes the CDH Racing team, which has retaine🌌d sponsorship from Whitecliiffe Electrical Distribution and has re-signed Luke Hedger for the 2025 season — Hedger’s second 🍷in the Superbike class — as it makes the switch from the Kawasaki ZX-10RR to the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade.
“I am reall🥃y excited to be staying with Dean [Hipwell] and the CDH Racing crew,” Hedger said. “They are lik🐬e my racing family now and I can’t thank them enough for giving me a second year in the Superbike class.
“I am really looking forward to jumping on the Honda and pushing my way towards the sharp end. Now my focus is on being fitter, stronger and ready for my first la𝔉ps in testing.”
Team owner Dean Hipwell added: “We’re really happy to keep Luke [Hedger] for a second year. The first year in the Superbike class is always difficult, but Luke provided some good resul😼ts and showed great potential.
“With Luke having a full year’s experience on the grid, us entering our seventh year in the Superbike class, and swapping to 🎶Honda we’re hoping this will give us that extra step we’re aiming for.
“I am also delighted that we have Whitecliffe returningඣ as our title sponsor and we are all looking forward to getting started with the new season.”
