Yamaha Motorcycle

Always one known for innovation, Yamaha Motor Company is a Japanese manufacturer which began motorcycle production in 1955.
After expanding Yamaha Corporation into the world’s biggest piano maker (where their signature tuning fork logo comes from), then Yamaha CEO Genichi Kawakami took Yamaha into the field of motorized vehicles on July 1, 1955. This knowledge was easily applied to the making of metal frames and motor parts for motorcycles. Not readily known is Yamaha actually produced Formula 1 and Indy Car engines from 1989 to 1997 for the Zakspeed and Tyrrell teams. They currently work closely with Toyota and Lexus, designing and producing some of their high-performance car engines. Yamaha are also the only Japanese manufacturer to stay true to their roots and still produce two-stroke MX machines, which includes their YZ85, YZ125 and YZ250.

Their dirt lineup also includes several entry-level machines. Bridging the gap between dirt and street are the WR250X, WR250R, XT250 and TW200 dual-purpose machines.
When the dirt turns to pavement Yamaha continues to lead the way with ground-breaking technology in their extremely popular YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 sportbikes, both of which employ ride-by-wire throttle and electronically controlled intake tracts, leading edge designs for today’s motorcycles. Their all-new for ’09 R1 also utilizes the crossplane crankshaft design taken directly from Valentino Rossi’s world championship-winning Yamaha YZR-M1 MotoGP machine, and looks set to possibly change the inline-four Sportbike world as we know it.
Yamaha also has a complete lineup of personal watercraft and quads, employing the same two-wheeled technology to the worlds of four wheels and water.
Owned by Yamaha but branded Star Motorcycles, their cruiser line has grown to be one of the most extensive in the market. Several variations of the Warrior, V-Star, Royal Star, Raider, Stratoliner and Roadliner make up a model-line that ranges from the small V-Star 250 right up to the fire-breathing, 200-horsepower V-Max.

Just mix a Yamaha and add fun with a Baby Boomer and you will have the perfect mix of excitement. Baby Boomers are approaching their social security era so why in the earth do they want a Yamaha? Yamahas offer entertainment, exhilaration, thrills, spills and also a place of class jealousy. Yamaha motorcycles, Yamaha babes, Yamaha road trips are all part of the American delusion that brings together the Boomer with his Yamaha.
Yamaha XS, YZ and Hayabusa reminds me I need a dictionary when I am ready to ride a Yamaha. Let’s not forget the Yamaha jackets, sunglasses, riding pants and the hundreds of other must have Yamaha accessories. Bottom-line, the fine folks over at Yamaha have cultivated this image of Yamaha motorcycle riders being a hard-hitting guy. Yamahas are the competition.
