The "GP Mono"
Honda Australia’s Moriwaki designed 250cc GP race bike - the "GP Mono" (MD250H), will be eligible to race in the GP125cc class at local club level competition, national series such as the Australian Superbike Championships (ASC) and MRRDA (Motorcycle Road Race Development Association) events. The "GP Mono" will run under the same modification rules as other bikes used in this class this year, according to rule changes approved by Motorcycling Australia (MA).
Whilst the engine is inspired by the legendary CRF250X, Moriwaki have custom built the raceready twin tube chassis, and included such high tech features as inverted telescopic front forks, Pro-Link rear suspension and hydraulic disc brakes all of which are derived directly from Honda’s RS125 grand prix bike.
Powered by a 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, electric start, single cylinder engine, the GP Mono is
designed specifically for those who are looking to develop their professional racing skills.
"We wanted to add yet another dimension to the competition to provide even more opportunity for young riders in Australia," said Honda’s Brand and Product Planning Manager, Phil Reynolds.
"With the release of the Moriwaki, it made perfect sense to offer a supported ride into the senior ranks for a young talent to show how competitive this new bike is."
