R‑Experience packages will soon be available at Sydney Motorsport Park from $599 including bike rental

Yamaha Motor Australia and MotoSchool are set to lift the supersport training experience with the introduction of a YZF-R9 hire fleet and an exclusive Yamaha customer day. The pair has confirmed the extension of its strategic partnership into 2026, a move aimed at reshaping how riders connect with the Yamaha brand, build skills and experience track performance.

Building on the success of the 2025 program, the expanded partnership signals a longer-term commitment to rider education, community and accessibility, while also delivering a major new step in Australian rider training: an all-new Yamaha YZF-R9 hire bike fleet, alongside deeper integration of Yamaha’s performance and genuine accessories ecosystem.

The changes see MotoSchool positioned not only as a training provider, but as a national rider-experience platform—bringing customers, machines and brand culture together in a way not previously offered in Australia. Following record attendance, strong customer demand and industry recognition throughout 2025, MotoSchool’s training environment will fully integrate:

  • A new, purpose-built R-Experience, available exclusively to MotoSchool customers
  • Yamalube oils, lubricants and maintenance products across all operations
  • Yamaha racing components from the proven performance range of GYTR accessories
  • Akrapovic exhaust systems from Yamaha Genuine Accessories
  • Continued collaboration with Dunlop Tyres via Ficeda Accessories, ensuring race-proven grip and consistency

The goal is a unified, professional training environment that remains accessible to everyday riders.

The R-Experience: Performance without barriers

Central to the 2026 program is MotoSchool’s R-Experience, a premium, track-based immersion designed to give riders access to Yamaha’s high-performance R-series platform in a structured, professional and race-inspired setting. Headlined by the all-new YZF-R9, the Yamaha R-Experience is intended to deliver Yamaha’s next-generation supersport technology as a brand-led experience rather than a straightforward rental-bike arrangement.

Each motorcycle will be fitted with a GYTR Akrapovič titanium race exhaust system and prepared to professional standards, giving riders the chance to experience Yamaha’s engineering as intended. Participants in the Yamaha R-Experience will also have the option to run either:

  • Dunlop race slicks for advanced training, or
  • Dunlop treaded slick track day tyres for high-performance road-based track riding

MotoSchool says the R-Experience package is being designed for accessibility, allowing riders to arrive, ride and immerse themselves in a premium race-inspired environment without compromise. More details will be announced shortly.

YamaFest customer day at Sydney Motorsport Park

As part of the expanded 2026 partnership, Yamaha Motor Australia and MotoSchool have also announced an exclusive Yamaha Customer Day on Sunday 29 March, using Sydney Motorsport Park’s Grand Prix Circuit. Details are yet to be finalised.

The one-day event will bring together Yamaha riders from across the country, offering Yamaha motorcycle customers the chance to ride alongside like-minded enthusiasts in a professionally run, inclusive and supportive environment.
The event will cater to:

  • All Yamaha road-going models
  • All rider experience levels
  • Riders seeking community, connection and fun through the Yamaha brand

It will also mark the first public opportunity for customers to participate in the R-Experience and hire a YZF-R9—positioning it as a milestone event for Yamaha customers and MotoSchool alike.

“What we’ve built with MotoSchool goes far beyond a traditional partnership,” says Mathew Ferry, General Manager Sales & Marketing, Land Mobility at Yamaha Motor Australia.

“It’s a platform that brings riders closer to our brand, our technology, and our philosophy. Extending this partnership into 2026 and launching the YZF-R9 hire fleet and Yamaha Customer Day, allows us to offer something truly unique to our customers.”

“What Yamaha Motor Australia has created through this partnership is something truly special,” says Haydan Parker, Managing Director and Founder of MotoSchool. The Yamaha team has shown what’s possible when a manufacturer genuinely commits to riders through experience, education, and community. This partnership is a blueprint for how brands can invest in the future of motorcycling in a meaningful way. Together, we’ve built a model that removes barriers and opens doors. An environment where world-class machinery and elite coaching are no longer reserved for the few. The 2026 program proves that when motorcycle distributors and rider development organisations work in true partnership, the result is not just better riders, but a stronger, more connected global motorcycle culture. For the first time, riders can step straight into a race-inspired Yamaha environment, ride the new YZF-R9, train with elite coaches, and be part of a community that’s built around learning and passion. We aim to offer riders the chance to experience something completely new.”

Yamaha R-Experience packages will soon be available at Sydney Motorsport Park from $599 inclusive of bike rental and track access. For more details, email MotoSchool at vip@motoschool.com.au or visit https://motoschool.com.au/
