I saw this yesterday, and instantly fell in love. I am a sucker for the exotic, but this one is more intriguing than most.
I was looking at it and thinking "it looks eerily similar to an RS125" and sure enough, I looked it up and the Moriwaki "MD250H" seems to be a bastard child of an RS125 rolling stock and a Honda 250 motor.
I have a few questions to which I hope all your answers are "the bike sucks, don't ask questions, move on"
- An RS125 frame with a reliable Honda 4 stroke motor sounds like the perfect recipe. Why don't we see more of these then? Particularly at Loudon.
- If I blow the motor (I have had a run of blowing motors recently), would any 250 Honda motor slot in as replacement? I know the motor in the bike is a hopped up race version of the 250, but could I just drop a factory crate motor from say a CBR250 or 250X and be good to go? It's carbed so I assume there are no ECU maps to worry about. I am curious if all the other components will still plug in.
