Honda's CBR650F primed for 2015 European Junior Cup
The 2015 European Junior Cup kicks off this weekend with the opening round at Motorland Aragon in Spain featuring Honda’s CBR650F as the new weapon of choice for the racing stars of tomorrow. For the past two seasons, the Pata-sponsored European Junior Cup has featured Honda’s CBR500R machine but the increasingly popular series that supports European rounds of the World Superbike championship has opted for the larger and more powerful CBR650F for the 2015 season. Many of the championship’s competitors took part in a two-day training camp at Calafat in Spain earlier this week and received expert guidance and tuition from Pata Honda World Supersport rider, Kyle Smith, and female racer and former Isle of Man TT competitor Maria Costello. With 30 permanent entries for this season’s championship, including at least four female competitors vying for glory in the inaugural FIM Europe Women’s European Championship, the eight rounds are sure to maintain the European Junior Cup’s reputation for thrilling racing and ultra-tight finishes. Gerry Bryce We’ve just had two fantastic days on our pre-season training camp at Calafat with this season’s young EJC riders getting accustomed to the new Honda CBR650F. We’ve had really positive feedback from everyone and the bike is pretty much as we expected it to be. It’s the perfect entry-level race bike – fast enough to be exciting for the fast riders not to feel restricted in any way and good enough for them to demonstrate their talent. At the same time, it’s very forgiving with superb handling and brakes. We’re looking forward to some really strong racing this season with a full grid of riders from 16 nations. We’ve also had a great response to the inaugural FIM European Women’s European Championship. Unfortunately, some entries could not be fulfilled because of studying and work commitments but we’ve got some fast and capable women who will surprise some of the guys here for sure!
