We didn’t buy motorcycles to feel safe. We ride motorcycles to feel alive. Fear is the reminder. Training is the answer. The 2026 ChampSchool Schedule is LIVE. Make 2026 the year you invest in the rider: /schedule/ @yamahamotorusa | @daineseofficial | @araiamericas | @bridgestonemotousa | @insta360motorcycling

First thing we do when a new bike hits the fleet? Protect it. Every ChampSchool bike, including the new #Yamaha R9's get outfitted with @gbracing_eu case covers before it ever turns a wheel. Why? Because protecting critical engine components isn’t optional. It’s smart, affordable insurance against expensive damage. Simply put: they make the best covers in the game. #ChampSchool #GBRacing #YamahaR9 #ycrs

ChampTour Colorado is what happens when world-class motorcycle training meets world-class roads. Boulder, CO | June 22–27 Six days riding the best roads in the Rockies with ChampSchool Senior Instructors and just eight riders total. Small group. No tourist pace. No chaos. Just skilled riders sharing the same language and approach to riding. This isn’t “follow the leader.” You’ll get real-time coaching on the road, then continue the conversations over dinner each night covering vision, body position, trail braking, line choice, and decision-making. We handle the hotels, meals, fuel, and logistics. You show up and ride. ChampTour Colorado 2026. Don’t just learn it. Live it.

Introducing the ChampSchool Track Library. Expert laps. Correct lines. Every track we ride. The ChampSchool Track Library is a growing collection of instructor laps from tracks across the country, featuring correct lines, reference points, and braking taught by our professional racers and coaches. Whether you’re heading to a track for the first time or returning with more experience, this library helps you understand the circuit before you ever roll out of pit lane. Check back often, as we will be adding more tracks, laps, maps, and data. Learn more here: /laps-and-maps/ @yamahamotorusa | @daineseofficial | @araiamericas | @bridgestonemotousa

What’s it like to have @MotoAmerica race winner @stefano37 Mesa yelling encouragement at you and giving you a high five after your first knee/elbow-down moment on a Yamaha TT-R125? Pretty amazing. We are constantly approached by extraordinary riders who want to coach for us, but being fast is only part of the equation. It takes a very unique personality to ride at the highest levels and still genuinely connect with riders who are just beginning their journey. That’s what makes our staff special. World-class riders. World-class humans. Our staff is amazing. Learn more at @yamahamotorusa | @daineseofficial | @araiamericas | @bridgestonemotousa | @oxymoronphotography

New YouTube Video: Body Position with Chris Peris! Body position is something we all want to improve… but most riders are working on the wrong part of it. The goal isn’t dragging knee. The goal is reducing lean angle so you can use more brake and more throttle at a given radius. In this video, YCRS President Chris Peris breaks down body position on corner entry, from start to finish, and shows how the best riders actually use their body to improve control, not just look cool. The best part? You don’t need to be on track to work on this. Garage. Paddock. Parking lot. You can start building better habits today. (And yes… dragging knee is a byproduct—but only if you get the fundamentals right first.) Want to go deeper? We break this down completely in Champ U Track Day. Use code WELCOME35 at Go watch the full video at the link in bio and start fixing your BP the right way! @yamahamotorusa | @daineseofficial | @araiamericas | @bridgestonemotousa

It’s time to invest in the rider! You’ve got an amazing bike. Top-tier gear. You’re already a solid rider. But… could you be better? What if you were 5% better? What about 20% better? Could that be the difference between “Man… that was close,” and “Doctor, how long will I be in here?” The motorcycle isn’t holding you back. The next step is you. Any Rider. Any Bike. Any Road. Upcoming ChampSchool Dates: NJMP May 12–13 — SOLD OUT HPR May 23–24 — SOLD OUT Denver May 25 — SOLD OUT Thunderhill June 10–11 — (2 spots left) NJMP June 16–17 — (5 spots left) The Ridge July 22–23 — (7 spots left) VIR August 5–6 — (16 spots left) Autobahn August 18–19 — (13 spots left) Ozarks August 27–28 — (15 spots left) Don’t wait until you need the skills.

ChampTour Colorado is a fully immersive learning experience, wrapped in world-class hospitality. Boulder, CO | June 22–27 This is the High-Altitude Masterclass, where education, world-class riding, and premium hospitality come together. We keep this tour intentionally small with just eight riders. You’re not part of a massive group; you’re riding with ChampSchool grads who share the same language and approach. That allows us to maintain a true ChampSchool pace that is fun, engaging, and controlled through skill, not restriction. Because this is a ChampSchool experience, the coaching never stops. You’ll get real-time feedback on the road, and when the kickstands go down, the learning continues. Over dinner or a drink, you’ll have direct access to instructors to break down vision, body position, trail braking, and decision-making. This is where everything starts to click. Off the bike, the experience matches the riding. You’ll stay at the LimeLight Hotel in downtown Boulder, with breakfasts and curated group dinners included. No logistics. No splitting checks. Fuel, food, lodging—we handle it. The routes are hand-selected by riders who know these roads. No tourist traps. No wasted miles. Just the best riding in the Rockies. The Central Loop through Estes Park and Trail Ridge Road. The North Loop to Fort Collins. The South Loop pushing toward Pike’s Peak. You’ll ride with ChampSchool Senior Instructors the entire time. This isn’t follow-the-leader, it’s structured riding with coaching built into every mile. ChampTour Colorado 2026. Don’t just learn it. Live it.

The comment section is WILD! We love the comment section most of the time. The comments give us a chance to answer questions, add context, and interact with our audience directly.… …but every once in a while, a post goes viral, and the comments take on a life of their own. So we did the only logical thing. We made a video out of them. Enjoy!

Bikes for Sale!! Every year we do something questionable… We let some of our ChampSchool bikes go. Why is that questionable? Because these things are really good. These aren’t your typical “used” motorcycles. They’ve lived a better life than most bikes: • Maintained obsessively • Inspected constantly • Only the good stuff (genuine Yamaha parts) • Never titled (yep… basically a unicorn) Low miles. No sketchy history. No mystery oil changes “somewhere around last year.” Just clean, dialed, ready-to-ride machines that have been treated better than most people treat themselves. Available Models: YZF-R6 YZF-R7 YZF-R3 MT-07 MT-09 / MT-09SP MT-10 / MT-10SP Tracer GT FZ-1 Located at our East Coast home: NCBike | Garysburg, NC Pickup available. Delivery at select events.

No leathers required. These are the same data-proven best practices as used by the best riders in the world applied universally to your riding at any pace or riding goal, at a price any rider can afford.

Why do we race? If we never quantify our riding, how do we know that we're making progress? If we never test our riding against riders of similar experience, on similar equipment, how do we know that we're actually doing it correctly? Racing, allow allows us to do just that. Congratulations to YCRS Founder Nick Ienatsch, and YCRS instructors @robertinopietri and Aaron Herman on all their success at the @indemotorsportsranch AHRMA races this past weekend. Great job boys! @yamahamotorusa | @daineseofficial | @araiamericas | @bridgestonemotousa
