Following our recent announcement of the 2015 N-Fab | AmPro Yamaha Race Program, we are excited to officially announce that the ink is dry on Brad Bakken’s contract with MotoSport.com and AmPro Yamaha for the 2015 race season. Brad will be focusing in on two of the most prominent off-road series’ in the country: The AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Series and the NEPG AMA National Enduro Series. He will also be participating in select races in the GEICO AMA Endurocross Series! 

After winning his first National Enduro in Arrington, Virginia last year and finishing an impressive 4th overall for the season, Brad is excited to take that momentum into the first round of the National Enduro series this weekend in Sumter, South Carolina.

“I’m super excited to kick off the 2015 season!” said Bakken. “The all new Yamaha YZ250FX is absolutely amazing! The 6-speed transmission suits my style of riding and I’m excited to try and put it up on the podium this weekend. I’m also really stoked to be competing in the XC2 in the GNCC Series after a 2-year hiatus. I really feel that my program is strong this year and with the help of MotoSport.com and AmPro Yamaha, I’m going to try my best to chase down two national championships!”

The MotoSport.com/AmPro Yamaha platform is completely separate piece of the puzzle for us,” said 7-time National Champion and AmPro Yamaha team owner Randy Hawkins. “Brad is a great kid and we wanted to create a partnership that would facilitate his goals and MotoSport.com made that happen!”
