Strength in numbers: Yamaha revitalizes its exclusive motorcycle club through YClub Mania

CEBU, Philippines — Yamaha Motor Philippines Inc. (YMPH) continues to bring out the riding passion of every motorcycle enthusiast through Yamaha Club (YClub).

Since its inception in 2010, Yamaha Club has been evolving its approach to appeal to every rider’s interest regardless the age and motorcycle lifestyle. It’s an initiative of YMPH to empower the riding community of the Philippines by giving more experience to all Filipino riders.

The 30,000-strong YClub is rebranding in the new era to change the norm, improve process as what Yamaha have continuously promised its members, engage more and enrich communities, and to include new members that recently joined the club.

With this goal, the Yamaha Club Mania was created to gather riders in different regions of the country. Its first leg kicked off at the Filinvest Tent in Alabang for Luzon Riders last May 2023, and just recently, Visayas riders had the exclusive mania experience in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.

The new era of Yamaha Club

The Yamaha Club Mania offers activities where YClub members can win raffle prizes, test ride Yamaha Motorcycles, enjoy freebies and have fun in a full-day program filled with contests.

The morning of August 13, Sunday, started with everyone’s cup of tea—the lunch ride.

Headed by the YMPH Motorsports team and Marketing Customer Relations, the YClub group officers and motovloggers Idol Moto and Motour had a surreal moment riding at the newest state-of-the-art Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), where sub-400cc motorcycles are permitted. The short ride ends at the Hoops Dome in Lapu-Lapu City, where the rest of the program transpired.

Those present were able to attend informative talks about Motorbike Tourism, Traffic Safety Education and Motovlogging. Speakers from the Department of Tourism and City Traffic Management System of Lapu-Lapu City imparted their knowledge to educate YClub riders in sharing the road responsibly.

Aside from these safety tips, YClub members also got to meet Idol Moto and Motour, who happily shared their knowledge on motorcycle vlogging. 

Event sponsors’ booths (Racing Boy, SEC Motosupply, and Imprint Customs) were also there to present discounted offers for their products. The fun did not stop inside the hoops dome as the Yamaha Riding Academy set up a test ride course where everyone could enjoy riding other Yamaha motorcycles.

Memories gathered in the hoops

Overall, the new YClub slogan which states, “More than just a ride” highlights what Yamaha is willing to go for in creating memories that last. It goes beyond riding a motorcycle; it’s about building a safe and excitement-filled lifestyle that every Yamaha motorcycle owner could ride on.

To be a YClub member, you only have to own a Yamaha motorcycle. You could register individually or better yet, join a YClub-accredited motorcycle club. If you already are a part of a club of Yamaha riders, you could have your club accredited provided that it has a minimum of 50 members and an SEC registration.

Get ready, Mindanao!

Since it is a nationwide campaign, the stage is set for YClub Mania Mindanao, which is happening this September in Davao.
