Monster Energy Kawasaki has signed 24-year-old Joey Savatgy for the 450 class as he is no longer eligible for the 250s, and revealed his race bike complete with No.17.

The former Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider will team-up with Eli Tomac at the Monster Energy Cup on October 13 for his 450 debut.

There has been no announcement about the future of Tomac’s current team-mate, Josh Grant.
