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

"Yamaha is excited to offer a free HD
HERO2 camera to ATV customers in 2012
through this new
promotion with GoPro," said Steve Nessl,
Yamaha's ATV/SxS group marketing
manager. "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
