Yamaha Motor Australia and motorcycle rider academy motoDNA have joined forces, offering training for people new to powered two-wheelers through to those seeking specialised on-track tuition.
“The ability to introduce absolute beginners to motorcycling together with a unique data-driven skills training system is what excites Yamaha Motor Australia about our partnership with motoDNA,” says Yamaha Motor Australia director Taka Kaieda. “Our goal is to introduce new riders to two wheels in the right way, by offering a safe environment that builds confidence. This is what motoDNA can provide.”

motoDNA currently runs rider training in NSW and Qld, and plans are in place to expand to other tracks across the nation. And not just for circuit riders either.
“We run gymkhana type events for beginners to gain confidence before we let them out on the circuit,” said motoDNA boss Mark McVeigh.
motoDNA’s coaches include many top-level Aussie racers such as Peter Goddard and Mark Willis, who can help riders obtain their licence as well developing circuit-based skills. A scorecard is issued to riders with a mark based on data supplied so that individual elements such as steering, braking etc can be focused on.
Yamaha Motor Australia will also work alongside motoDNA on a number of customer and dealer events as well as media launches.
