PICKERINGTON, Ohio (Sept. 18, 2003) -- Yamaha is the latest manufacturer to post support for the AMA Red Bull Supermoto Championship by offering a generous bonus awards package. Yamaha joins Honda, KTM and a growing list of aftermarket companies in offering bonus awards and brings the total posted amount for the 2003 championship to nearly $400,000, including a $25,000 year-end championship bonus.
