Description

[Machine Translation] ( Main contents ) Based on the Kawasaki "Z1" engine, this model has been tuned to deliver high power. It is wrapped in an original aluminum frame. This issue features the "MORIWAKI MONSTER," a 1000cc machine that raced in the 1981 All Japan Road Race and Suzuka 8 Hours. The greatest feature of this machine is its aluminum frame. At a time when even the 500cc works machines competing in the World GP were built with iron pipe frames, Moriwaki's aluminum frame suddenly appeared and dominated the headlines. In addition, at the Suzuka 8 Hours in 1981, HRC selected Wein Gardner, who had not yet made his World GP debut, and he took pole position. Shortly after that, HRC visited Moriwaki. HRC, having learned about aluminum frames from Moriwaki, later developed the aluminum-framed NS500, which led to Freddie Spencer's title win in 1983. We look back at the details of the Moriwaki Monster, which was full of originality and innovation.

Description in Japanese

RACERS (レーサーズ) Vol.78 1981 モリワキモンスター / 三栄

【主な内容】 カワサキ“Z1”のエンジンをベースに独自のチューニングを施しハイパワー化。それを、これまたオリジナルのアルミフレームで包み込む――。今号は1981年の全日本ロードレースや鈴鹿8耐を走ったモリワキの1000ccマシン「モリワキモンスター」の特集です。このマシン最大の特徴は、なんといってもアルミフレームでしょう。世界GPを走る500ccのワークスマシンですら鉄パイプでフレームを組んでいた時代に、突如登場したモリワキのアルミフレームは話題を独占。さらに'81年の鈴鹿8耐では、まだ世界GPデビュー前のワイン・ガードナーを抜擢し、見事ポールポジションを獲得しました。そのすぐあと、HRCはモリワキを訪問。アルミフレームの知見をモリワキから伝授されたHRCは、後日アルミフレームのNS500を開発し、1983年のフレディ・スペンサーによるタイトル獲得へとつなげたのです。そんな独創的で先進性にあふれていたモリワキモンスターの詳細を振り返ります。
