Current minimum age to be compliant with our liability insurance is 13 years old on a Kawasaki Ninja 300 or smaller only. This also currently includes 14 and 15 year olds. Proposed change below corrects the minimum age and will add additional 300cc and smaller Production Cup motorcycles that 13 year olds are permitted to ride. It will also add additional motorcycles that are currently legal in MotoAmerica Junior Cup for riders with a minimum age of 14.
