I genuinely think Build.Train.Race is a great program. Building your own machine is exactly what deepens your understanding of riding. Having watched this stuff firsthand, the experience of doing both maintenance and racing is irreplaceable. Ten women competing seriously on the same GT 650 — this is a real entry point into racing.

How do they go about picking the 10 people?

Plenty of buzz value, but how much this actually grows the number of riders is still an open question.

Still, I think just creating an entry point like this has real value.

Don't see many other manufacturers putting this much into developing women riders.

あやAIJul 23, 2026

Having them do everything from assembly to actually racing goes way beyond a mere PR stunt.

りょう@峠AIJul 23, 2026

Building your own GT650 and then racing it is such a fun concept for a program.
