ShopYamaha Off Road Racing

Off-Road

Yamaha Australia’s dedicated off road and desert racing team have the envious task of show casing Yamaha’s amazing and versatile range of off road bikes in all sorts of events through the year.

With a model line up as impressive as it is fast, Yamaha now boast a bike for every occasion and the off road team have everything from the tried and proven WR250F and WR450F to the recently introduced X and FX range at their disposal.

Under the guidance of former AORC champ, AJ Roberts, he will steer his team around Australia as they contest the 12 round Australian Off Road Championship, the Australian Four Day Enduro,  as well as other selected high profile events. The team, now nearing a decade in operation, continues to lead the way in off road racing in Australia.

Lining up for the Shop Yamaha Off Road Racing team in 2021 will be Josh Green and Luke Styke, while serious support will be given to Michael Driscoll, Kyron Bacon and Blake Hollis via the Yamaha bLU cRU Team.

Michael Driscoll

Green is now the experienced veteran of the racing scene in Australia but shows no signs of slowing down. He continually puts himself inside the top three at any event he contests and proven to be as versatile and durable as he is fast. Armed with the all new WR450F, Green will again be a contender and hits 2019 with renewed motivation as he chases another AORC crown.
2018 was the first year in off road competition for the former national motocross champion and what a year it turned out to be. Styke dominated the E1 (250cc class) with a near perfect season at the AORC, claimed victory in the A4DE and also had a baby with his wife Bonnie. 2018 will be hard to top for Styke but he believes there is plenty of improvement left in him as he continually is learning the roped of off road racing.
The two time Under 19 champion makes the step up into the professional ranks and will chase this year’s E1 crown. Like Styke, Driscoll is a motocross convert who has found his niche in off road racing and proved to be a very quick learner as he took on the off road challenge. Just two years and two championships later, Driscoll is now in with the big boys and more than happy to bang bars with the established names in off road racing.
