PICKERINGTON, Ohio (Aug. 12, 2026) — Yamaha Motor Corporation will serve as the presenting sponsor of the 2026 AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, which will take place on Sept. 10 at the Event Center at Violet Woods in Pickerington, Ohio.

“We are so grateful for Yamaha’s support of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame and the Induction Ceremony, as they have been a steadfast advocate for the Hall of Fame and its mission over the years,” AMA Business Development Manager Michael Kula said. “We look forward to continuing our relationship with Yamaha Motor Corporation and working together to produce another outstanding AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.”

Yamaha Motor Corporation began producing motorcycles in 1955 with the release of the YA-1, growing into one of the largest international motorcycle brands while simultaneously emerging as a power in motorsports across a number of racing disciplines.

“The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame preserves the rich history of American motorcycling and celebrates all of the individuals and groups that have elevated our sport to where it is today,” Yamaha Motorsports Marketing Director Steve Nessl said. “We take great pride in supporting the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and celebrating the outstanding individuals that will be forever enshrined amongst the legends.”
