MA Junior Cup Rumors for 2025?

These would have been an interesting choice. Heard they are only around $12K

GP7 - Ohvale

45 hp and 200lbs

 

Wow if your price is right, that sure seems like a good solution. Obviously have no idea, about reliability of engine, etc.

 

I would guess it’s missing the adjustability and electronics to really help kids prepare for those next steps. It looks like a great size and price point for kids moving up from minis to develop racecraft, but the Krämer seems much more robust and able to help kids develop setup and feel.

 

Is that just the Aprilia RS250 Sport Production warmed over? A little less spec, lower price, but same overall concept and intent?

Thats kinda what I was thinking. The pics of both bikes side by side look pretty close but some subtle differences.

 

I got to check out the Ohvale GP7 at EICMA. It's a nice looking machine, and you can't argue with the price. The form factor is maybe a touch smaller than a Moto3 bike, which is the wrong direction in my opinion. It would be a killer go-kart track bike here in the USA, but I can't see an 18 y/o American kid that's 6-foot getting on one of these.

I am, of course, a biased observer, so take my thoughts as you will.

 

What bikes are you looking at? They look wildly different to me.

 

Now that i looked on the Ape website i think they are the same? Bodywork is different but it says "partnered with Ohvale"

 

I'm just cross-posting here for maximum exposure, because marketing:

For those interested, REV'IT is a technical partner of Krämer Motorcycles USA, and they will be offering race-win contingency for the 2025 MotoAmerica Talent Cup, as well as a championship-win bonus ($1000) for riders in their suits. REV'It is also offering a seriously reduced price custom-tailored airbag-ready suit for Talent Cup racers, for $1300. I'm pretty stoked to have them onboard with us and supporting the series like this.

We have also partnered with KYT Helmets, and they will have a similar program to announce soon, stay tuned for more info on that.

Carry on.

 

As I recall, the REV'IT airbag system is rebranded Alpinestars. So, a very good system.

 

Yup, it's the Alpinestars Tech-Air system. Which flavor of Tech-Air depends on what suit you get with them.

 

Review from the guy who raced the 350 with AHRMA.

 

I think I saw on a MotoAmerica social media account recently, someone let John Kocinski cut some laps on one. That'd be some interesting feedback.

 

Yeah, Kramer was at Jennings last weekend with Kocinski, Taylor Knapp, Tigge and Tony Romo.
