Kayo MiniGP MR150 and 1Minimoto Challenge, Malaysia 2014 at Speedway PLUS Circuit

KayoMiniGP001Ever since the Kayo MiniGP MR150 made its way to Malaysia in August 2013, it has drawn the interest of motorcycle enthusiasts and professional riders across the nation. The bike may be a new face here on our local ground but MiniGP racing had started in the 90s being hugely popular in countries such as USA and Italy. Smaller in dimension, the MiniGP is specifically designed for Grand Prix racing, which makes it an ideal machine for riders to hone their skills on. Pitrides Motorsports, the company that introduced Kayo MiniGP to Malaysia, has received positive feedback from experienced racers and national riders who have tested the bike (http://malaysian-riders.com/2014/08/07/malaysian-moto2-riders-supportsthe-minigp/).  KayoMiniGP001-2

A few months after the Kayo MiniGP was up for rental at the Speedway Plus Circuit, the number of enthusiasts increased rapidly and thus the Malaysia MiniGP Club (MMC) was formed. The club had since organized several races namely the “MiniGP Component Test (MCT)” and the “MMC Time Attack Challenge”. The same bikes used in these races had also been rented out to several training programs run by privateers with no problems to any of the machines. This has proven the capability of the bike as a reliable machine for circuit racing.
