Shell Advance Asia Talent Cup (SAATC) uses homogenised Honda NSF250R Moto3™ bikes. All of the riders are riding the same bikes, so the factor that can differentiate between them is the skill. I remember quotes from a comic book “Machines can be bought, but skills are not for sale”. Still, the machine of the SAATC intrigues me, so check out the technical data after the break:
