The Honda / Moriwaki Engineering MD250H. US$11,699 and you have to paint it yourself

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Moriwaki Engineering of Japan have announced that a limited number of MD250H “Powered by Honda” race bikes will be offered for sale to riders eligible for the youth-oriented USGPRU road racing series.

The MD250H is basically a race bike similar in size and feel to an RS125, but powered by a 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke Unicam engine from Honda’s popular CRF250X. The MD250H has been race tuned by Moriwaki Engineering. The purpose-built twin spar aluminum-framed road racer is ready-to-race from the ground up, 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 only need to 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,” said Honda Press Manager Jon Row. “To build enthusiasm for the USGPRU MD250H series, American Honda will be offering a corresponding contingency program worth US$110,000″. Qualified racers may be given the opportunity to receive a Pro Honda Pit Kit consisting of US$890 worth of oils and chemicals. Riders with existing oil and chemicals sponsors can decline this option. For contingency details, visit hondaredriders.com.

Suggested retail price for the MD250H is US$11,699. It will be sold exclusively through select Honda dealers. For more information about availability, contact your local Honda dealer, and for information about the race series, visit www.usgpru.net.
