The Vega Force Rider's Pack had always made it clear , especially considering the group name , with what type of motorcycle they preferred. However , when Yamaha Motor Philippines, Inc. introduced its new Yamaha Tricity and launched a Yamaha Tricity Grand Test Ride at the SM City Cebu North Open Parking on May 9 and 10, 2015, as motorcycle enthusiasts, the pack didn't want to miss out on the chance of experiencing the Yamaha-Exclusive LMW Technology.

As early as 6am, some of the members where already in line with the registration booth so they would be the first to test out the Yamaha Tricity. Yamaha already had a customized track prepared that featured ramps and different road surfaces to showcase the abilities of the Tricity and as they made their way in the track, they were able to get the feel of the LMW technology or Leaning Multi-Wheel which allows two independent front wheels to adjust to different road conditions. It's a different touch to how they were used to the handling of the Vega Force motorcycles but since it's a product of Yamaha, it was indeed a smooth ride for those who were able to test it.
