Jeremy’s First Ride

McWill throws a leg over his new bike

Proton Team KR works rider, Jeremy McWilliams had his first taste of the team’s new four-stroke V5 on Wednesday afternoon. The motorcycle, which is still in development was rolled out at the Turweston airstrip near the team’s base in England.

McWilliams did several high speed passes getting familiar with the clutch and gear change.

The development team has been working day and night to get the Proton KR V5 ready for it’s circuit debut, which is hoped to be next weekend at Le Mans.

Jeremy McWilliams:
I’m really impressed with the smoothness of the engine. It feels bloody quick. When I give it throttle it just takes off. Since it was my first time on the bike I wanted to get acquainted with it, so I just ran it up and down to get a feel of the engine and systems. I can’t wait to get it to the race track, because it feels like it’s going to be everything it was designed to be.
