Honda to offer race-prepared bikes at a discount

Boon Siew Honda Sdn Bhd has unveiled a new initiative aimed at motivating and uplifting motorcycle racing in Malaysia.

The Boon Siew Honda 250cc Racing Support Programme will offer race-prepared Honda CBR250RR motorcycles at a discounted price to interested teams and riders in the MSBK250 class to be contested at the Malaysian Superbike Championship next year.

The basic specifications of the bikes will be prepared by Boon Siew Honda with the full package valued at RM50,000.

However, teams and riders who purchase these packages need only pay RM30,000.

“The objective of the Boon Siew Honda 250cc Racing Support Programme is to uplift the sport of motorcycle racing in general.

“In the Malaysian Cub Prix Championship, we run a very successful grassroots brand race – the Honda Dash 125 Challenge. This is our talent identification event.

“In the Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC), Boon Siew Honda run their own factory team to develop the next batch of world class Malaysian riders.

“There was a gap between Cub Prix and ARRC previously. This programme is aimed at bridging it,” said Yoshitaka Nakamura, managing director and chief executive officer of Boon Siew Honda at the launch yesterday.

“We hope to see more riders and new teams venturing into the sport with this support programme.”

The programme will run in cooperation with race promoters Two Wheels Motor Racing (TWMR).
