Yamaha Boosts Motocross Opportunities with Cycle Ranch Collaboration
FLORESVILLE, Texas — Yamaha Motor Corporation USA is enhancing the motorcycling experience for families through its Learn to Ride and Destination Yamaha programs in partnership with Cycle Ranch. This initiative aims to simplify the journey for new riders while expanding opportunities for ongoing training and motocross competition.
Cycle Ranch has significantly increased its Yamaha fleet, which now includes models ranging from beginner-friendly TT-R series to competitive YZ bikes. This expansion enables newcomers to start riding without the need for personal equipment. Iain Grae reiterated the impact of this availability, stating, “A family doesn’t have to buy motorcycles just to find out whether they love riding.”
The collaboration fosters a pathway for aspiring riders to progress from beginner lessons to full motocross competition, supported by trained instructors. This program was facilitated through relationships established by the United States Motorcycle Coaching Association, with support from Family Powersports.
USMCA Executive Director Lindsey Scheltema noted the program’s importance: “A positive first experience can shape someone’s relationship with motorcycling for a lifetime.”
Visitors to Cycle Ranch can now rent motorcycles and access training without transporting their bikes, further broadening participation in motorcycling.
Brett Valk, Manager of Destination Yamaha, encapsulated the goal of the initiative: “Yamaha is committed to creating more opportunities for people to experience motorcycling, from a family’s first ride to an experienced rider’s next adventure.”
Yamaha Learn to Ride experiences and motorcycle rentals are currently available at Cycle Ranch.
