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. 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.
Originally, the MH80R was offered in the Japanese market, but some folks that had to get their hands on this compact racer went through the trouble to import these models to the states.
