Project description: Lebanon Cycle Center owner Troy Titus is building a Springfield dealership to sell Yamaha motorcycles, ATVs, generators and side-by-side utility vehicles. The Springfield site, which will offer repairs, parts, accessories and financing, should house up to 200 units representing nearly $2 million in inventory, Titus said.

He expects to sell up to 1,000 a year at Springfield Yamaha, which is a joint venture by Titus and Jeff Mutchler under the name Mid-Missouri Motorsports LLC.
