Yamaha named sponsor of Motocross Paddock at VMD
The American Motorcyclist Association recently announced that Yamaha Motor will support this year’s Permco AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days as the official Motocross Paddock sponsor of the event.
The 2025 VMD will be held July 25-27 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. Presented by Turn 14 Distribution, this year’s event will feature racing in a variety of disciplines, the largest motorcycle swap meet in North America, the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame bike show, vendor displays and more.
“Yamaha is a force in the motocross world, and is one of the most recognizable brands in the sport,” says AMA Business Development Manager Michael Kula. “We greatly appreciate its support of motocross racing at AMA VMD and look forward to working with them to make this the best year of racing yet.”
Vintage motocross at this year’s VMD will be held on a period-correct grass track with modest table-top jumps — without a double or triple jump in sight, and the track is tailor-made to suit classic motocross bikes.
Initially founded in 1887 as a musical instrument and audio equipment manufacturer, Yamaha dove into the world of motorcycles in 1955 with the release of the YA-1. Since then, Yamaha has become one of the largest motorcycle brands globally, as well as a leading marque in various forms of motorsports.
