Yamaha Press Release:
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA, is pleased to announce a new marketing partnership with Sportbike Track Time. As part of the agreement, Sportbike Track Time is now an official track day provider for Yamaha and will offer free introductory track days to riders who purchase new Yamaha sportbikes.
Sportbike Track Time will also offer free demo rides on Yamaha sportbikes–including the YZF-R1, YZF-R6, YZF-R3, FZ-09, and FZ-07–at select Sportbike Track Time events. Customers will have the opportunity to ride these Yamaha sportbikes on track with guidance from Sportbike Track Time instructors.
“We are continually seeking new opportunities for riders to experience our exciting products, and to support rider training and riding skills development,” commented David Docktor, Motorcycle Marketing Manager for Yamaha. “Partnering with Sportbike Track Time helps us achieve both those goals.”
In 2015, Sportbike Track Time held 114 Track Days at 14 Tracks throughout the Midwest and South. Sportbike Track Time is the leading motorcycle track day provider for Barber Motorsports Park, Autobahn Country Club, Grattan Raceway, Gingerman Raceway, and Talladega GP.
