Yamaha contest winners announced

From Yamaha Motor Canada

After traveling coast to coast for a year with the Canadian Superbike Series and the Canadian Motocross Championships, two Yamaha TT-R50 off-road motorcycles have found their homes in the hands of some lucky race fans.

Rick Berry of Nanaimo, BC and Ashley O’Neil from Orleans, ON were among thousands that filled out entries at the Toyota Truck displays at superbike and motocross events last summer. At the end of the race season, ballots from both series were combined to draw the winners. Berry was the first drawn, selecting the Jean Sebastien-Roy #2 bike, while O’Neil was the second drawn, receiving the Kevin Lacombe #34.

“We’re extremely satisfied with this contest because it’s the true fan that benefits directly from the results,’” commented Tim Kennedy, National Manager of Marketing for Yamaha Motor Canada. “Toyota and Yamaha support the sport and this was a good way for us to show our commitment and give back to the fans of each series. We wish Rick and Ashley the best with their new TT-R50 Yamahas.”

Fans will have another opportunity to win one of two new TTR-50 bikes at superbike and motocross races this summer.
