And he revealed he cannot wait to get on the new Yamaha.
Ellison has joined current British Superbike champions GSE Racing, which is seeking a record fifth British Superbike title in 2009 with Ellison and team-mate Leon Camier aboard the all-new Yamaha YZF-R1.
He told the BSB website: "We are going to get out testing soon and I can't wait.
“I have heard so many positive things about the new Yamaha that I just want to get out there and ride it!
“ I already have all my new kit as I went and picked up my new leathers from Italy a few weeks' ago.
“I came back from Texas and as soon as I landed I was pretty much on a plane back out to the Teknic factory to be measured.
“ They made them overnight so I had them for the next day which was pretty impressive.”
"My kit bag is all packed and I am ready, it is just a matter of time before we get going now."
