Yamaha Motor Philippines Incorporated (YMPH) has finally brought out to Cebu its latest dual sports bikes that boast great rides on rough terrain as it went off-road in the fifth leg of the MS Motosuit Motocross Series dubbed as the 2014 Calambua Motocross Challenge in San Remegio town, north of Cebu.
