............................................... YAMAHA RX115 CLASSIC ..................................................

The first motocross races in which Yamaha was, were those that were realized in the track of the Arenera located in the grounds of a factory of bricks near the present facilities of Pintuco, in Medellín. Later Furesa inaugurated its own track in Envigado where races were organized, both departmental and national and also ran the category Enduro, in which the fans participated with their own machines of series and where the Monoshock and Calibmatic were very common in the grid of departure. The Monomarca Yardley Monopoly Cup was even once held for Monoshock motorcycles, which had a large participation. Of that time dates the first professional equipment Yamaha of Motocross integrated by personages like Fernando and Cristian Echavarria, Juan Pablo de Bedout and others that surely the fans of the 70's and 80's will remember. In the second half of the 80's the sport activity of this specialty, was greatly diminished by different factors but resurfaced in the 90's and Yamaha again formed an official team with which has achieved great successes, first with Nicolas Stankov And more recently with Juan David Posada, both several times national champions in different categories.
Yamaha was also present from its beginnings in speed competitions, which were mainly run on street circuits such as the Estadio and Poblado in Medellín and many others throughout the national geography. The used bikes were the RX100 and XT500, many of them modified by the same runners. In addition to this the company sponsored some pilots who competed with special machines brought from Japan like for example the TZ125 and 250. Currently, although Yamaha does not have official equipment of speed, its models are very used in this specialty, like for example the BW'S ( In the category scooters), the DT (in all its variants) and the RX. Additionally Incolmotos-Yamaha sponsors the RX 115 Cup in which only the 115 run without any modification, giving the opportunity to many lovers of speed to take their first steps in competition.
