Yamaha Motor PH reactivates touring initiative

MANILA: Yamaha Motor Philippines (YMPH) has revived its touring initiative by staging a long-distance motorcycle ride anew.

Per the local arm of the Japanese motorcycle brand, it gathered a total of 120 YClub members to travel from Epifanio de los Santos Avenue to Bagac, Bataan — covering some 281 kilometers.

The aforementioned participants were divided into three different classes, which represent YMPH’s diverse product lineup. On that note, the motorcycle marque created three different routes (40 riders per segment) instead of following the traditional one-course touring activity.

YMPH put together Yamaha NMax owners and took them on a trip where they could experience the comfort and reliability of the beefy city scooter. Participants also got to enjoy a golf putting activity in Subic.

On the other hand, YMPH took the second group — which consisted of Yamaha Sniper155 and Mio Aerox owners — to roads packed with curves and twisties. They also got to enjoy the Moto Gymkhana activity, Japan’s popular motorcycle time trial sport.

The third batch focused on a scenic trip with their Yamaha Mio Gear, Mio Gravis, and Mio Fazzio motorcycles. They also took part in latte art where they were able to express themselves with how their choice of rides suit their lifestyle.

All three clusters finally met in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar where they shared what they had experienced throughout the day. After a restful sleep, the riders took to Mount Samat to seal off the entire touring experience with a photo op.

“Even though the three routes were visioned to represent different lifestyles, the activity also unifies the totality of Yamaha’s core values: Premium, High Energy, and Self-expression,” YMPH wrote in a press release.

“It made the rider connect not just with their motorcycle but also with others who share the same riding passion and loyalty to the brand. This comeback activity does not end in Luzon, the YClub Touring will continue to be experienced by Visayans and Mindanaoans real soon,” the company teased.
