The class was immediately popular in Japan and quickly spread to Europe and America. Of course Moriwaki was already famous for their involvement in the careers of several riders who went on to world fame, including Wayne Gardner, Peter Goddard and Graeme Crosby. Under the stewardship of Tony Hatton, another former rider with a Moriwaki background, Motorcycling NSW launched the concept in Australia under the name of GP80, catering for 14 to 16 year old riders. The bikes were able to make use of tracks not normally used for road racing, such as go kart circuits and training tracks.The MH 80 used a modified Honda CR80 engine, producing 25hp at 12,000 rpm, in a specially modified NS-1 chassis, adapted by Moriwaki with revised engine mounts and special attention to reducing vibration to a minimum. Moriwaki also built the aluminum petrol tank, handlebars, expansion chamber exhaust and provided a specially tuned carburetor for the reed valve engine, and provided the tachometer and water temperature gauge. Brakes came straight from the CR80 motocrosser and proved to be entirely adequate for road racing. The complete machine tipped the scales at just 80kg and sold for $6,800 ready to race. The MH80R took some strong cues from motorcycles such as the NS-1, the Moriwaki was good for around 7-8 horsepower, offering similar numbers for torque at peak RPM’s.Info about Moriwaki:With a pedigree in racing dating back to the early 70’s, Moriwaki Engineering was a Japanese motorcycle manufacturer and tuner company that started from a gentleman with the same namesake: Mamoru Moriwaki. The Japanese company specialized in race-oriented engines, motorcycles, and parts, making waves in the industry with their close ties to the Motorcycle Grand Prix. Made as an entry into the world of road-racing and track days, the MH80R was largely based off of Honda’s success in the small-displacement market at the time.
