Triump Bonneville t120 is better than Harley Davidson

ZED!!!

When yamaha made the xv virago line up. That was the shot across the bow for harley and it shows even today

Got my first bike a twin jet 100 Yamaha in May 1966 from the local Ford dealer. Great little bike.

A little disappointed tbh..... Just a non-stop flow of what bikes Yam have made, but this video should explore the reasons why.

Interesting the 3 tuning forks on the Yamaha logo.

I’ve had so many Yamaha bikes I’ve lost count. Loved my 900 SECA although it was only an 853cc engine, it was quicker than the 903 ninja and any other bike of the era including the XS 11 and GSXR 1100 bikes. My xt 250 goes anywhere so it is my favorite now. Not fast but as reliable as the sun.

Always great to hear how great companies got started!

What the Brit bot failed to say historically, is we gave Japan 800 billion to rebuild after WW2, and armed the communists in china to defeat the nationalists, to turn china into a communist nation,---------------------------that owns us today.

Why don't you mention classic 350 reborn?

Yamaha's, tw200, which is best described as a hybrid between a all-terrain vehicle and a motorcycle. They've been building them for decades now, and if you want to buy one ,used you're going to pay top dollar

I’ve owned and ridden the enduro and YZ models from the early ‘70’s . Some of the best memories from my childhood !

In the mid 70's i had a Triumph 650 Bonneville and a 659 Yamaha. Aside from the company stampings on various casings and part, ya couldnt tell the two apart. Direct copy.

Ok the DT 250 was the first MX bike for me. I’ve had many of yam. So have my kids. I’m hitting 70 and have a Grizzly that I take my pups on runs. Great stuff.. Thanks

Yamaha TW-200. ☆

What? No mention of the 80's LCs?......shameful

Yup noted the beeza.

I've owned a few yamaha's, but the one that will allways be my( and my wife's)favourite is the 850 TDM. The least maybe the XT 250 it really didn't have enough power for a 250.

I love the dt 125 Yamaha

I love my 2018 V Star 250 Lowrider Custom Cruiser. Built in June '17, in Raven Black metallic. Some call it a sport cruiser, with its torquiness and nimble handling. I can lean it into turns with knee out smoothly and easily. The thick leather seats are very comfortable as well. Like sitting in a comfortable chair! They are also dead-on reliable and easy to maintain.

U missed TVS Ronin

You totally missed the very popular RD 350 LC series

Imagine if Yamaha made cars, Honda made musical instruments Kawasaki made trucks?

2:49 *Did you say “SWINGING ARM” Like “Swinging London” in the 60/70s. Shame on you “The Maverick Roadster” You spoiled it for me! I will not SUBSCRIBE. Since, apart from this Faux Pas (That’s French meaning mistake) research, photos & editing OK! Greetings from sunny tropical Thailand. My first beginner bike was a HONDA. The GROM ex MSX 125. I’m Johannes K. Lindgren Johnny BikeSanooK! The septuagenarian (that’s 70 ish) KAWASAKI Vulcan 650 rider. Born in Suomi-Finland. Residence Khlong Nam Lai Village northern Thailand. 380 km Bangkok*

No retro looking bike 🤔 like TVS Ronin 225 hunter 350 or u forgot

I owned a 1981 Yamaha YZ250 it was a rocket ship❤

My history with Yamaha products: -trombone in elementary school band -learned to ski behind a 150hp outboard -pro-audio mixers, amps, & speakers -my first cruiser vStar 1300 Tourer bike -FJR1300 Sport Touring bike -XT1200 Super Tenere All of these are fine products.

The groundbreaking DT-1 should have gotten more coverage. Despite all the mistakes this was a interesting documentary.

Stop using AI

"Trouble caused by their enemies..." Who caused the trouble?

Too many errors but worth watching for the rare 2004 AHAMAY at 16.15.

Bunch of incorrect info here...im out

I have owned 8 Yamaha's the first yz 80 RD 250LC RZ 250 RZ500 YZF 750 TZ250 A1990 model R1 1000 DT 200 Yz 250 top quality motorcycles

Yamaha Virago 750

9:41 that is clearly a BSA Gold Star, British bike and not a Yamaha

A nice video story, but the silly music is too loud and makes the narration hard to hear.

I owned a Bolt and is now the proud owner of a FJR1300 :) Best machine i ever had.

Rz500 for me

Pommie voice but saying "zee" instead of "zed" WTF!

He wasted so much time talking about off road bikes (yawn) and skipped over the modern sports bikes, nakeds and even the the V-Max.

FJR

I grew up on a virago

Yamaha is also the largest musical instrument producer in the entire world. they make high quality instruments.

I am 74 years old and have ridden motorcycled since the age of 16. I am what you might call hardcore about always having motorcycles in my life, and I do mean always. Bottom line: best bikes I have ever owned were Yamaha. I've owned everything under the sun, including Honda, Suzuki, Harley, and Triumph. But the best has always been Yamaha. I realize this may sound crazy, but I think the fact that Yamaha began as a musical instrument company (and still is) instilled a drive for perfection in the bikes. Anyhow, never hesitate to buy a Yamaha ... they're still magnificent with a huge dedication to perfection. Yours truly, an ardent life-time Yamaha rider and lover of same.

Yamaha are an excellent company. I’ve given them money many times, bikes and music

Yamaha quality is truly outstanding .

I guess it was impossible to use American numbers!! 32k pounds!!!!!

The Last two stroke yamaha bikes, the venerable135 cc RX-K (King) was a street racing hero, but notoriously became escaping ride for bank robbers.

Amazing why no Kymco AK 550 Premium in the mix? Made in Philipines close to Indian market.

My dream Yamaha is the R6.
