The Honda NSF250R is not the ideal choice for the vast majority of riders in the United States for several compelling reasons: It's designed exclusively for the racetrack, compact in size, relatively costly, lacks an electric starter (and can't be push-started), and demands regular upkeep. However, where it excels, it truly shines.

So much fun can be had at your local track on a mini moto. We hosted a track day at Apex Racing Center in Perris CA. and invited a few of our friends including some of the fastest rippers in the country. Eleven year old Jesse James Shedden and ten year old Kensei Matsudaira explain why they love the sport so much.

Racing A Honda CRF150R Is Minibike Racing The Way It Should Be

If you've been following MO for a while then you might remember the tale of woe that was our experience racing a Honda Grom for 24 hours, wherein we obtained a Grom, ordered up a ton of parts for it, slapped them all on, and went straight to the racetrack the next day to race with our friends at the United Mini Racing Association (UMRA) with visions of glory. Instead, it took mere minutes to discover our "modified" machine was nearly unrideable, dashing our hopes for victory and killing our spirits in the process. As it turns out, there was a silver lining to the situation - and his name is Hans King. A fast dude in his own right (he won his race going away earlier in the afternoon), he happened to catch wind of my plight. Sympathetic to my situation, at the end of the day he turned to me and offered a ride on his bike - A Honda CRF150R. This was no ordinary 150R, mind you. This 150R was built by King's friend Josh Vollmer, also known as The Mad Machinist.
