Yamaha Motor Australia has successfully launched its much-anticipated 2019-model YZ65 across Queensland, NSW, Victoria and South Australia, with simultaneous demo events being held on June 3. Over 200 riders aged between 7 and 12 were lucky enough to swing a leg over the brand new race bike. “It’s great that we finally get the YZ65 in our hands and it’s a huge addition to the YZ line-up,” says Yamaha Junior Race Team boss, Scott Bishop. “The recent demo events were the best way to showcase the bike – we simply allowed young riders to test the YZ65 and make up their own minds on just how good the bike is and how instantly competitive it will be. Feedback from everyone who test-rode the bike was glowing and the national demo day saw heaps of young riders get to experience this exciting racer,” Bishop went on to say. “The YZ65 represents the first step on the victorYZone ladder and is the ideal entry point to join the bLU cRU,” adds Yamaha Sales and Marketing Manager, Matt Ferry. “Yamaha offers a model for every category so the step-up process has never been simpler.”

The WA event that was slated for Hendley Park was weather-affected and has been rescheduled for June 17. Participants are asked to register to ride here: https://www.yamaha-motor.com.au/discover/news-and-events/events/motorcycle/2018/may/yz65-demo-day
