Aaron Yates, the Enforcer. The Georgia native is arguably the most aggressive rider on the AMA circuit, regardless of which class he is racing in. His late braking, backing it in riding style has made him more and more popular with race fans across the U.S. In the early stages of his career, Aaron and his father wrenched on his bikes and drove from race to race before he finally got the ride with Suzuki in 1996. he didnt wait long to show that they made a good decision by winning the 750SS title that year. Aaron is always quick to point out that he wouldn't have made it this far without the help from his family and that is an admirable statement to say the least.

After success with the Yoshimura Suzuki team and a solid '06 campaign, Yates got dropped off the Yoshimura roster and picked up by the Michael Jordan Motorsports team. Yates doesn't seem like the kind of fella to take a demotion sitting down, so expect the Georgia native to be a fearless competitor on the Gixxer Thou in both Superbike and Superstock.
