Australia (8/3/2011) - Hardiman
Kawasaki ATV Race Team rider Luke Gaisford has ridden
the Kawasaki KFX450R ATV to 2nd place in the ATV
Cup at the final round of the 2011 Australian Motocross
Championship at Coolum, QLD on 31 July. Team mate
Paul Worth’s results were also consistent
enough to put him inside the top 5 by the close
of the event.
Luke Gaisford got his 2011 ATV Cup campaign off
to the best start possible when he qualified the
KFX450R ATV in pole position on the Coolum MX
track. From there, the current WA State Series
leader stringed together four outstanding motos,
taking 2-2-2-2 to finish in 2nd place overall.
A pleased Luke Gaisford says, “I’m
happy with the result. The KFX450R had nice power
and handled the track really well. I’d like
to thank everybody at the Hardiman Kawasaki ATV
Race Team and Luke Beechy Motorsports for their
support.”

Paul Worth
placed fifth overall at Coolum, QLD

Fellow Hardiman Kawasaki ATV rider Paul Worth
showed that consistency pays off. After struggling
slightly in qualifying, the Hardiman Kawasaki
mechanics made some subtle changes to Worth’s
Kawasaki ATV that yielded great results. Worth
took 5-5-6-5 throughout the four races to finish
the ATV Cup in 5th place.
Paul Worth says, “Overall I’m happy
with my results this weekend. The KFX performed
really well. I was only a couple of seconds off
third and fourth and my fitness is not where it
should be at the moment so I’ll lift the
bar for the Nationals at Coolum later in the year
and hopefully I can finish on the podium.”
The Hardiman Kawasaki ATV Race Team will be looking
to further their success at the QLD ATV Titles
at Moranbah, QLD this month.
