The company will select 30 lucky owners of the R3 and offer them this opportunity. To be eligible for the lucky draw, customers need to buy their bikes before November 10, 2015. This contest also includes all other customers that bought the bike right since its launch in August 2015.
Riding alongside a factory team rider will surely be a very memorable experience for customers.
Yamaha will bear the accommodation and boarding of the winners for one day but the logistics will have to be arranged by the winners themselves. If you want to register for the lucky draw, all you need to do is log on to Yamaha's official website and fill out your details. The company will then contact you with further information.
