Yamaha Motor Australia in conjunction with Motorcycling Australia have announced the return of the popular one model junior MX events, the YZ65 Cup. The series, designed for nine to 12-year-olds, was introduced in 2018 and ran in 2019 but fell foul of COVID in 2020.

The series fell through in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions but it will be back for a full season this year.

Yamaha say that the YZ65 Cup is more than a race series, it’s a celebration of motocross designed to offer participants and their families a money-can’t-buy experience. Pitting out of the bLU cRU truck and with unparalleled access to YMA’s professional MX race teams, each YZ65 Cup participant is rewarded with memories that last a lifetime.

Yamaha say the ethos of the YZ65 Cup is to make every rider and his or her family feel like they are part of the Yamaha factory race team, courtesy of the unique bLU cRU wide range of benefits.
