Young riders wanting to make the jump to professional motorcycle racing are being given a helping hand from Honda motorcycles. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Moriwaki Engineering Japan are offering a limited number of MD250H race bikes for sale to riders eligible to participate in the youth-oriented United States Grand Prix Racers Union (USGPRU) road racing series.
The USGPRU is the officially recognized 125 Grand Prix National Championship® and 250 Grand Prix National Championship™ series. The USGPRU provides a unique opportunity for young riders by providing extended length grand prix racing exclusive to the 125GP and 250GP machines with timed qualifying and superb contingency and sponsor support. Race and practice format is designed to prepare riders for the experience of racing at the highest level.
The MD250H motorcycle is powered by a 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine from Honda’s popular CRF250X. Race-tuned by Moriwaki Engineering, the lump sits in a purpose-built twin spar aluminum-frame and comes complete with a single radial-mount front disc brake, inverted fork, Pro-Link single-shock rear suspension, lightweight wheels and tires, works-style welded aluminum fuel tank and race-ready bodywork. Riders need only apply their own paint and graphics.
“Our goal in releasing the MD250H is to help develop youth and entry-level racing in America by providing high-quality, affordable entry-level machines that are fun to ride and easy to maintain,” says Honda Press Manager Jon Row.
