Cypress, CA June 8, 2012 – In celebration of two-time reigning AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike Champion Josh Hayes’ epic double-win at Road America last weekend, Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., has put together a short video of Josh lapping the historic 4.05-mile, 14-turn road course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
“Racing has always been at the core of our company’s DNA,” commented Bob Starr, General Manager, National Communications for Yamaha’s Motorsports Group. “And, with Josh’s dominating performance in both races at Road America this past weekend, we wanted to give our fans an up-close look at Josh’s ‘office.’”
You can hear the unique sound of the engine’s crossplane-crankshaft firing order as Josh runs his #1 Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha YZF-R1 through the gearbox. And, as an added bonus, the video also includes a practice start by Josh. It’s not often that you get to ride along with a two-time defending SuperBike champ, which is why this video is a must-see.
Yamaha would like to thank GoPro for providing the HD HERO2 Camera and KW Machine Works for the camera brackets used for this video.
Yamaha would also like to thank our Racing partners: Monster Energy, Graves Motorsports, Yamalube, Dunlop, Vortex, Speedcell, Dyno-Jet, Sharkskinz, Braking, OZ, Magneti Marelli , Ringers, Zero Gravity, Cox Racing Group and Yamaha Generators.
