Yamaha's three crossed tuning forks are a reminder that this company made pianos long before motorcycles. The motorcycle business was spun off as Yamaha Motor in 1955, and its first bike, the YA-1, quickly proved itself in racing. Ever since, Yamaha has had a reputation for engineering with a musical sensibility: engines that sound good, chassis that feel balanced, and design that tries harder than most of its Japanese rivals.
The company's history is full of landmark machines: the two-stroke RD350 and RD400 that schooled a generation, the XT500 and XS650, the V-Max muscle bike, the original YZF-R1 of 1998 and the crossplane-crank engines that gave its bikes a distinctive growl. On the racetrack Yamaha's riders, from Kenny Roberts to Valentino Rossi, have won MotoGP and its predecessor championships many times over, and its motocross bikes are perennial winners. Its long collaboration with the GK Design group has given its bikes a look of their own.
Today's lineup includes the R-series sportbikes, the MT naked bikes, the XSR retro range, the Tenere adventure bikes and a large scooter business, including India-market favorites such as the RayZR and Fascino. India and Southeast Asia are crucial markets, with smaller models such as the R15, MT-15 and XSR 155. Rivals include Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and KTM. Coverage here includes new models and returning ones, India launches, racing, recalls and Yamaha's experiments with hybrid and electric power.
