Yamaha FastFest Unlocks Filipino Speed
Share this
Yamaha Motor Philippines just made the summer even hotter with the FastFest at SM by the Bay in the weekend of May 4 and 5. The event celebrates the brand’s signature speed that is exclusively experienced with their machines.
Leading its lineup of motorcycles is the new Yamaha Sniper155 and Sniper155R. The Sniper155R has retained most of its advanced features including its liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, 155cc single cylinder engine but has a sportier and masculine design, updated color & graphics combination. The new Sniper155R is now equipped with ABS.
Making an appearance for the event are the riders of the Yamaha Philippines Racing Team who are on a current winning streak in the Asia Road Racing Championship and dominating the podium in the recent MotoIR Championship. McKinley Kyle Paz, April King Mascardo, and Gian Carlo Mauricio have had their careers shaped by the legacy of the Yamaha Sniper which has propelled them into champions. They spoke fondly about their history with the machine and shared their excitement with the newest edition.
As a surprise treat for all in attendance, Yamaha debuted the original soundtrack of Yamaha Racing Philippines named ‘Creating Champions’ by music artist and newest Yamaha Brand Ambassador, Nik Makino.
A special test ride was held at Block 16 open parking which had 11 turns and a straight measuring 111 Meters long. The track which was 431 Meters long ensured participants a safe experience with maximum acceleration.
For those who believed they have what it takes to go full throttle like a professional rider, they tested their skills at the Moto Trainer – The official MotoGP Simulator. And those who wanted a souvenir of cornering like a pro, took photos at the Lean Angle Experience where Yamaha Motorcycles were inclined to mimic racetrack cornering.
Yamaha also held a speed contest with the Dyno Shootout. It measured who had the fastest Yamaha Sniper and Mio Aerox based on top horsepower and torque. The motorcycles are strapped to treadmill like machine and riders rev it to the max. The winners didn’t just get bragging rights and received an all-expense paid trip to witness the MotoGP Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia on September 27-29.
Yamaha continues to push the limits of their machines to deliver the best possible motorcycle. Whether it’s for riding above the rest everyday or creating champions on the racetrack Yamaha will, without question, unlock your speed.
