2021 Destination Yamaha calendar
There’s a big range of adventures in store for 2021 thanks to Yamaha Motor Australia and their Destination Yamaha events, where a range of experienced partners offer Yamaha customers some unforgettable experiences across the country, from single-day rides to lengthy outback adventures!
Destination Yamaha is the name given to travel events that have a specific Yamaha focus or interest, aiming to give riders fulfilling post-purchase experiences, like finding some decent dirt tracks for your new Tenere. Yamaha’s event partners are selected because they are the best in the business and offer the most detailed local knowledge combined with years of experience running successful tours. Destination Yamaha partners include South Australian Motorcycle Adventures (SA area); RideADV (East coast) and South Coast Detour (NSW and VIC).

“South Coast Detour has been conducting group charter rides for discerning customers who want the best trails, back up and service since 1998. We use only the best accommodation and have a purpose-built back up 4WD and trailer with highly-experienced customer-focused staff who provide excellent service.
“Our South Coast rides cover from two to four days while our legendary Victorian High Country rides from our base camp at Tom Groggin to destinations like Dargo and Buchan are three to five day adventures. Detour also specialised in rides from our base camp at Buckenboura Park near Batemans Bay, NSW. These rides feature the option of brining the kids along because we can offer supervised riding on the property for the kids, while dad hits the trails with the Detour crew.”
