Kramer Motorcycles to Supply the 2025
MotoAmerica Talent Cup
M
otoAmerica and Kramer
Motorcycles announced a
partnership that will see the dis-
solving of the Junior Cup class
for 2025, replacing it with the
2025 MotoAmerica Talent Cup.
The MotoAmerica Talent Cup
will be a part of the "Road To
MotoGP" program.
The class is aimed at riders
aged 14-21 and will see riders
compete on identical Kramer
APX-350 MA machines. Pow
-
ered by a single-cylinder KTM
350cc four-stroke powerplant
that makes over 50 horsepower,
the bike features fully adjustable
suspension, and is managed by
a Mectronik MKE5 racing ECU.
The class will run on control
Dunlop tires.
The APX-350 MA has been
developed by Kramer Motorcy
-
cles in conjunction with Mo-
toAmerica and will be the first
prototype national-series since
MotoAmerica took over control
of the championship in 2015.
"We know racing high-perfor-
mance motorcycles provides our
young athletes more opportuni-
ties and better prepares them to
race at higher levels on the 'Road
to MotoGP,'" said MotoAmerica
President Wayne Rainey. "This
is the first time MotoAmerica
has created a class for our
young riders that's on the same
performance-level bike as other
'Road to MotoGP' Talent Cups
worldwide. MotoAmerica was
founded on the very idea of rac
-
ing Moto3-type motorcycles, and
now we're finally making that
concept a reality. I'm excited,
because up to five riders will
get an invitation to participate
in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies
Cup selection. My MotoAmerica
partners are also excited to
provide our younger riders this
opportunity."
"Kramer Motorcycles is proud
to be the spec-bike supplier of
the MotoAmerica Talent Cup
and to help the next generation
of American road racers on their
path to the world stage," said
Jensen Beeler, CEO of Kramer
Motorcycles USA. "Together
with our partners in MotoAmeri
-
ca, we believe we have created a
machine that will elevate motor-
sport for American riders and be
the tool that readies racers for
the Red Bull Rookies Cup, FIM
Moto3 World Championship, and
beyond."
"Like all of our motorcycles,
the Kramer APX-350 MA is built
with the single-minded purpose
of winning on the racetrack and
without the compromises that
come with a production-based
machine," said Markus Kramer,
Founder of Kramer Motorcycles.
"We believe this motorcycle
is the ideal training platform
for riders who are looking to
advance to the international
stage, and we will be proud to
say one day that a World Cham
-
pion started their career on a
Kramer."
The Kramer APX-350 MA will
sell for $22,495, and the bikes
are expected to arrive in the U.S.
in mid-February of 2025. Reg-
istration for the APX-350 MA's
waitlist will take place on the
