THE CULLYS TEAM

Established in 1976, originally in Osborne Park, Cully’s stands as Western Australia’s longest serving Yamaha dealer, being at the forefront of motorcycle sales, service, parts and accessories. Brian Cull, the first-generation dealer principal of Cully’s, established the foundations that the store has built upon over 40 years and led to being awarded a host of industry accolades. In 1980 the store was relocated to its current location on Wanneroo Road, Balcatta to better service the northern suburbs.

Second-generation dealer principal Strett Cull is now at the helm of the family-run business; his influence seeing Cully’s Yamaha continually adapt to the evolving direction of the industry. Strett has brought together a team with a broad cross-section of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm for all things motorcycling.
