CYPRESS, Calif., “” Yamaha Motor Corporation is pleased to announce a significantly expanded Road Racing contingency program for 2006 by more than doubling the posted payouts for amateur and professional roadracers throughout the U.S. In addition, Yamaha riders competing in sprint races around the country will now earn back to five places rather than just for 1st place as in the previous program. Commenting on the program, Yamaha Racing Division Manager Keith McCarty said, “We’re really excited about the changes we’ve made to this year’s program. Our customers who choose to race Yamaha sportbikes will have more opportunities than ever to earn contingency monies in the year ahead.” Eligible Yamaha motorcycles include sportbikes like the YZF-R1, YZF-R1 Limited Edition and the all-new and very potent YZF-R6.
