Yamaha Motor New Zealand has secured sponsorship rights of this year’s FIM International Six Days Enduro to be held in the lush surroundings of Taupo on the North Island of New Zealand.
New Zealand is hosting the gruelling international enduro event for the first time between 14 and 19 November 2006. The Lake Taupo venue is an internationally acclaimed tourism destination known for its landscape of forests, rolling hills, volcanoes, lakes and rivers.
All riding will be off road, centred around commercial pine plantation Kinleith Forest and will be run by Event Director Sean Clarke. The many and varied tracks are designed to be rideable in all weather conditions.
Register for the event by sending a brief email including name, phone number and country to sean@isde06.com. Or check the website at www.isde06.com
Comment from Steven Cotterell, General Manager and Director, YMNZ:
“To have such a prestigious event as the ISDE in your back garden represents a great opportunity. And what better way to welcome Yamaha’s Kiwi born multi world enduro champion Stefan Merriman back to his country of birth than by sponsoring the event? We launched our 2006 model WRF enduro bikes in the Taupo region, so we know that competitors and spectators alike are in for a real treat.”
