Cypress, Calif. - Yamaha Motor
Corp., U.S.A.,
has launched a first-of-its-kind promotion with GoPro, the world's most
versatile camera, to give away free HD HERO2 Motorsports Edition cameras to
Yamaha ATV customers in the first half of 2012.
Through the unique promotion, anyone who buys a 400cc and
above Yamaha ATV* by the end of May will receive a free GoPro HD HERO2 (a $299
value) from Yamaha. Full details are on Yamaha's website: http://tinyurl.com/Yamaha-GoPro
"Yamaha is excited to offer a free HD HERO2 camera to ATV
customers in 2012 through this new promotion with GoPro," Steve Nessl, Yamaha's
ATV/SxS group marketing manager, said. "We've used the HERO cameras on
motocross tracks, on trail rides, in the sand dunes and even when out
hunting. It's a great camera and we expect this will be an exciting offer
for motorsports and outdoor enthusiasts alike."
The HD HERO2 camera can be worn or mounted on just about
anything utilizing GoPro's numerous mounts and accessories. This
versatility matches well with Yamaha's wide ranging ATVs, from the
highest-performance sports ATVs to the most durable and off-road capable
utility 4x4 models.
