Yamaha parts, Suzuki parts, Kawasaki parts, Honda parts
The Yamaha Motor Corporation has decided to team up with Valli Motorsports and the two major racing forces have decided to create what many have called a super team that will be known as the Star Valli Yamaha Race team. The brand new joining of forces will include people from the race world who participate in a variety of different events including the premier 450 class and the 250 class. There have been some interesting picks for riders so far of the Yamaha parts and chosen to represent the YZ450F is Nico Izzi, Ryan Morias and Austin Stroupe.
The interesting thing is that Izzi is also going to be riding the YZ250F on one side of the country and then will be riding the YZ450F on the other coast. Full time riders for the YZ250Fs are slated to be Gareth Swaenepol, Kyle Peters, Ryan Sipes and Kyle Cunningham. One of the reasons why the team is able to obtain so many riders is because of the significant financial pull behind the combination of both teams.
Statements so far from the now combined group suggest that everyone who is involved in the group team effort is excited to see what will happen in the next few years once the races start heating up. The group has also been the subject of a lot of jealousy from various members of the racing community and the manager of the Yamaha Racing Division said that he felt that the team would be able to accomplish a lot in 2012.
