Josh Creamer and his Suzuki QuadRacer R450 just took home the 2010 AMA ATV Motocross Championship after 11 spectacular rounds of racing. Creamer won six races in 2010, making his first year on the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team his championship year.

“I knew that once I got on this bike it was a championship winning bike,” said Creamer after the race. “The QuadRacer R450 is by far the best bike I’ve ever been on. Everything works awesomely and it handles the best. There’s a reason it’s a championship-winning bike!”

The final round of the series was an exciting one for Creamer. He went into the race 40 points ahead of Wimmer, and although he was confident that he would be taking home the big trophy at the end of the race, he still put in a championship effort at Loretta Lynn’s.

After a fast start, Creamer led the opening laps. A mistake pushed him back, however, and the champion-to-be decided to play it safe, crossing the finish line in seventh and taking home the AMA ATV Motocross Championship.

“This title is a lifelong dream of mine, and today is a dream come true,” Creamer said. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t run up front the whole race but we still pulled out the championship and that was my goal for this weekend.”

Josh Creamer made the move to the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team in 2010 and from his first test session aboard the QuadRacer R450, he was fast, comfortable, and ready to race for the title. Joining defending back-to-back champion Dustin Wimmer, Creamer had high expectations for his 2010 season and was looking to dethrone his new teammate.

Creamer was easily the most consistent rider in the series this year, and with a quad that never failed him, he focused on the championship.

Creamer took over the points lead from Wimmer at Round 3 of the series, never relinquishing the lead for the rest of the series. With his drive to succeed and the most successful and powerful sport quad on the market, Creamer secured his first championship.

This is Creamer’s first championship in the Pro class, but it certainly isn’t the QuadRacer’s first victory, as it’s been on top of the series for the past three years and has also clinched the Manufacturer’s Cup trophy for Suzuki.

The Suzuki QuadRacer R450 claimed seven overall victories in 2010, making the Suzuki the most successful brand in the ATV Motocross series and earning another prestigious award for the powerful QuadRacer R450.

Dustin Wimmer, the AMA ATV Motocross champion in 2008 and 2009, came in second for the season behind his teammate. Wimmer claimed one overall victory this year aboard his QuadRacer R450 and multiple podium finishes, including his second-place finish at the Loretta Lynn finale.

As the AMA ATV Motocross Series approaches the final round at Loretta Lynn’s this weekend, the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team has their eyes on another championship trophy.

The powerful duo of Josh Creamer and two-time champion Dustin Wimmer have dominated this season aboard their Suzuki QuadRacer R450s, bringing Suzuki the coveted Manufacturer’s Cup title with seven overall wins altogether, and with one round left, both racers are eager to make it eight.

Josh Creamer is in the driver’s seat to win his first AMA ATV Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s.

In his first year on the Rockstar Makita Suzuki squad, Creamer started the season with a third overall and hasn’t let up, winning six of 10 races and never finishing off the podium.

After a strong second-place finish last week at Red Bud, Creamer holds a 40-point lead going into this weekend’s race over teammate Dustin Wimmer.

Wimmer finished in fourth overall last week, putting in two top-five rides. The defending champion has been consistent aboard his familiar Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer R450, and hopes to end the season on a high note.  

The final round of the AMA ATV Motocross Series takes place August 14-15 at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.

The Rockstar Makita Suzuki riders are preparing to dominate the podium and bring home another championship!

Third Trial Verdict in Favor of Yamaha; Jury Finds No Product Defect with Yamaha Rhino

A jury in San Bernardino County, California has rejected the plaintiff’s claims and awarded no damages today in this case involving an accident on a Yamaha Rhino.

This follows another jury decision in favor of Yamaha on July 26, 2010 in a case in Orange County, California, and is the third time a jury has rejected plaintiff’s claims regarding the Rhino’s design, finding no defect in the Rhino.

The jury made a decision based on the facts. The testimony and evidence during the trial showed that this unfortunate incident had nothing to do with the design of the product.

Yamaha is saddened whenever anyone is injured in an accident involving a Yamaha product and this incident underscores the importance of following the safety guidelines posted on the Rhino and in the owner’s manual, and to always operate the products in a safe and responsible manner.

Drivers and passengers should wear helmets, protective gear including over-the-ankle foot wear, and the vehicle’s three-point seat belts at all times.

The Rhino is a safe and useful off-road vehicle that has won virtually every “first in class” award and top safety ratings in independent reviews since its introduction.

Yamaha stands firmly behind the Rhino and will continue to vigorously defend the product. To learn more about the Yamaha Rhino, visit our website www.truthaboutrhino.com
