Ready to race
Prepped for the coming season
Making money by putting your children out to work has been frowned on for a number of years at this point. Making money out of a putting your children out to race motorcycles is, however, a completely different story. Seeding and nurturing a talent for racing bikes can only result in huge success and therefore tonnes of MotoGP style prize money and a role with an ambiguous title in the team that has a staggeringly high salary. But this type of operation takes time and planning.
Talent, not tuning
After you’ve introduced /subjected your child to every MotoGP race since Mick Doohan retired, thought them how to cycle a bicycle with no stabilisers before they were one, got them a PW50 for xmas and getting their name on the latest helmet that they’re waring it’s time to get competitive.
Each one is sealed
Enter Ohvale. These guys have been around since 2009 and produce bikes for the next generation of super hero motorcycle racers. As well as being raced in a over 20 countries at national and club events they’re official machines for the FIM MiniGP series which is owned by Dorna and overseen by the FIM.
Close racing is guaranteed
There are four models, a 110 automatic and three four speed machines, the 1104S, the 1604S and the 1904S. These are designed to be raced by children. The first machines were exclusively run on 10” wheels. The GP-2 runs on bigger 12” ones. The ergonomics, along with the low centre of gravity are specifically designed to make the machines work for younger and smaller riders.
Each bike is exactly the same specification
Ohvale facilitate one make race series championships all over the world. It’s not just selling the bikes. The dealers are chosen for their racing experience and are on hand to provide all sorts of support to those who race their machines.
In order to recognise the riders skills all the race bikes are identical and even come with sealed engines. This makes for fairer racing where the pilot proves there metal and not the team. After all, could dad really be trusted where something as important as juniors lap times are concerned?
