The Monster Energy Kawasaki team is coming off one of the most successful years in recent history where Ryan Villopoto won the FIM World Supercross Championship, AMA Motocross Championship, Motocross of Nations Championship, and the Monster Energy Cup.

For 2012, Villopoto will be defending all four titles and will be running the No.1 Kawasaki KX™450F all season.

Former supercross lites champion, Jake Weimer will join Villopoto for his second year on the team. Weimer missed a large part of the 2011 season due to injury and will be looking to establish his spot on the podium.
