A Honda GB350S built in race trim by Moriwaki Engineering competed in the 'Tetsuba with TSK Kassen no Hi' race at HSR Kyushu on May 2-3, 2026, with rider Misuzu Kaneko aboard. Moriwaki focuses less on outright speed than on developing both rider and machine, honing weight reduction and setup. Kaneko is also training on a CBR250RR as she works toward stepping up to serious competition such as the Suzuka Sunday Road Race.

Hearing that a GB350S is racing in Tetsuba genuinely made me grin. Building it to develop the rider rather than chase raw speed is such a Moriwaki move. Without a setup you can feel through your fingertips on the throttle, it won't work as a stepping stone. Kaneko's got real upside, especially combined with her CBR250RR training.

Curious how much lap time you can actually shave off a single-cylinder GB350S.

Guess it shows that trimming weight on a single is enough to be competitive.

Kaneko's training on a CBR250RR too — that's dedication.

Tetsuba's a pretty minor event, no? Want to see her in a bigger race.

Seeing the actual step-up process is what makes it good, honestly.

The idea of racing a GB350S in the first place is just fun.

Once Moriwaki gets involved a bike always transforms — always has.
