Yamaha Racing Development (YRD) is looking for young racing talent in Australia. YRD would be conducting a one make race for the Yamaha YZF R125 bike and is inviting interested participants between the age group of 13- 15 years.

The Yamaha YZF R125 bikes would be built, maintained and transported by Yamaha and all that a participant has to do is ride the bike on race days and bring along a mechanic to tune the bike. Apart from that the participant should take care of his transport, accommodation and evening meals.

As all the bikes are built and maintained by Yamaha itself this competition offers a level ground for all participants and the only possible way to victory would be the individual’s racecraft and riding skills.

This race is similar to the Yamaha R15 One Make Race Championship in India . The Indian one make race is recreational and an exercise to boost Yamaha’s image in India, while the Aussie one make race is a serious attempt to unearth young racing talents.

The entry fee for this 8-round race is Australian $17,000 (6,65,000 Indian Rupees). The winner of this event would get to ride the Yamaha FX600 or Superstock 600 YZF-R6 race bike in the next season.
