New rider bags dream Kawasaki ZX-4RR in Motorcycle Live show competition

Winning your dream motorcycle is about as good as it gets and that’s exactly what has just happened to Rachel McFarlane, who recently received her very own Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR – for free!

Rachel, a new biker, had entered a competition hosted by the annual Motorcycle Live show at Birmingham’s NEC and Kawasaki UK last year. Among the thousands of entrants, she was chosen at random to receive the incredible prize.

“I still can’t believe I’ve won,” said Rachel. “This is such an amazing opportunity, and I’m still pinching myself that I’ve won my dream motorbike.

“I’ve only just begun my motorcycle journey and am currently working towards my full licence so while it’s still a little while until I can take it out, I go into the garage every day to just sit on it and imagine riding it!”
