WIN A TRIP TO
YAMAHA BEACH FLORIDA
In real life, it’s Daytona Beach.
But for one unreal week in March—
Speed Week—it becomes Yamaha Beach.
Because for those seven race-filled days,
Yamaha collects
checkered flags
like beach-
combers col-
lect seashells.
It’s been
that way for years.
Last year was a perfect example:
Yamaha finished 1st through 8th in the
100-mile, 250cc road race, with one of our
winningest riders, Steve Baker, leading
the pack.
Bob “Hurricane” Hannah then proceeded
to live up to his name by taking the flag in
a super-close supercross. On an unmodified
production bike, yet.
But those were just a prelude
to the most climactic event of Speed
Week. The Daytona 200, a Formula
750 road race. To no one’s surprise,
Steve Baker and Kenny Roberts gave it
the traditional Yamaha one-two.
This year looks like more of the same.
RACING, AMD THEN SOME.
Of course, racing is just part of the
action. Between races, another kind of
excitement takes over. The excitement ,
of just being in Yamaha Beach during
Speed Week.
Picture it.
Over 100,000 motorcycle lovers
from all over the world converging .
on one tiny town for seven non-stop
davs of oarties. movies, exhibitions.
live concerts, parties, sailing and parties.
So, if you’re into motorcycles in general—
and motorcycle racing in particular—get
