Dave McKenna joins Yamaha

The pro stunt rider, who has showcased his skills over the past six years throughout Australia and China, will ride a YZF R6 and WR450F enduro converted to supermotard spec as part of the new agreement with Yamaha.

"This is exactly the kind of opportunity I have been working towards and now that I have it I'm about to take my career to where I've always known it could go. Yamaha is also now the official partner of our freestyle school Wheelie Zone. We will have an R1 for the simulator and an XT250 and Raptor 700 ATV to let loose on," McKenna said.

"Thanks again to Yamaha for backing me 100%. I'm going to have a lot of fun showing them how far we can go together," he added.

Speaking for Yamaha Motor Australia, General Manager/Director Steven Cotterell saw the arrangement as mutually beneficial for both parties.

"McKenna is a unique talent who is well placed to showcase the performance of a wide variety of Yamaha models," Cotterell said.

"His shows highlight the passion, the commitment and the feeling of pure adrenalin involved in owning a Yamaha. Dave is also a great brand ambassador so we see this partnership as a perfect fit."
