Moriwaki Engineering boss Mamoru Moriwaki is happy with the results earned by test rider Tamaki Serizawa and the MD211VF prototype racer after a 19th-place finish in the MotoGP race at Suzuka April 6.

Moriwaki has been quoted as saying that Serizawa did a great job of riding and his staff did an equally good job of preparing the prototype motorcycle in a short span of time.

Moriwaki told reporters that his staff will take the data collected at Suzuka and use it to construct a new and better chrome-moly-tube chassis for the MotoGP race at Motegi later this season.

Moriwaki entered the SKYY VODKA Grand Prix of Japan at Suzuka using one of Harris WCM’s entries and intends to enter as a wild card at the Gauloises Pacific Grand Prix of Motegi October 3-5.
