YA-1 1955 (1955)
This was Yamaha’s first motorcycle. At a time when motorcycle design was dominated by imposing all-black styling, the YA-1 with its simple form and modern chestnut red coloring, quickly became popularly known by the nickname “Aka-tombo” (the Red Dragonfly). What’s more, it immediately demonstrated its high performance by winning the 3rd Mt. Fuji Ascent Race in July of 1955, and then swept the top places in the ultra-light class of the 1st Asama Highlands Race of the All Japan Endurance Championships. In an era when the national average starting salary of a male college graduate was 10,780 yen, this model, priced at 138,000 yen, was a coveted extravagance beyond the reach of most users.
YD-1 1957 (1957)
This is a model born out of a pursuit of design originality. In the development as well, the design elements proceeded the engineering. Taking as its key words “A 250cc for the Japanese,” it was given a compact and easy to ride body size that fit the Japanese physique. What’s more, it embodied a “Dynamic design” that gave the impression of powerful dynamism in any situation. It also mounted Yamaha’s first 2-cylinder engine. In a Japanese market dominated at the time by utility models, the YD-1 brought a new image of sports performance.
YDS-1 1959 (1959)
Further developing on the sporty performance of the YD-1, this new model mounted a 20hp engine on a steel-pipe cradle frame to achieve unprecedented running performance. Features like the first domestic-made 5-speed transmission and combination type instrument panel with engine tachometer caught the imagination of sports riders, who quickly nicknamed it “Japan’s first sports model.”
YG-1 1963 (1963)
Mounting a rotary disk valve engine on a backbone type monocoque frame and boasting a number of features like waterproof brakes, a headlight nacelle and a megaphone type muffler, the YG-1 quickly became a popular model and a big hit in sales. With increased engine reliability through improved cooling performance and greater serviceability in the air filter, carburetor and clutch, this model represented a great combination of sportiness and utility.
DT-1 1968 (1968)
Winning an unprecedented following from the time of its release, this DT-1 started a worldwide boom in trail bikes. Before the appearance of the DT-1, off-road bikes had been primarily “scrambler” type bikes adapted from on-road models. By contrast, this model was the embodiment of a machine to take you “beyond where the roads end.” Packed full of technologies and features expressly for off-road riding, like a Ceriani type front fork with the longest stroke of any Japanese-made unit at the time, Autolube, a 5-port piston valve engine, wide-radius block-pattern tires and an engine guard, this model created the new genre known as “trail bikes.”
FT-1 (1970)
A pioneer of the “mini-trail” category, the FT-1 mounted a rotary disk valve 2-stroke 50cc engine on a compact chassis. Despite its small displacement, this model boasted features like a full-fledged double-cradle frame, Ceriani front fork and separate meters. Its spirited running performance and full array of features won it solid popularity.
XS-1 (1970)
After making only 2-stroke models for the 15 years since its founding, to the point that its brand name had become synonymous with 2-strokes, Yamaha introduced its first 4-stroke engine on this model, which quickly won a popular following. The goal of building a “lightweight, slim and compact big-displacement sports model,” was achieved by mounting a vertical OHC twin engine characterized mainly by its slimness on a slim double cradle frame.
XT500 (1976)
This model was developed as a desert race enduro machine. Released as a street-legal version of the TT500 enduro machine launched the year before, this model became the pioneer of the big single off-road genre. It was the focus of attention also for the bold adoption for the first time ever of a forward inclining upside-down rear suspension on a trail model. It was on an XT500 that the Sonauto Yamaha team’s Cyril Neveu won the motorcycle division of the 1st Paris Dakar Rally in 1979.
XS1100 (1977)
An export-only model that ushered in the over-one-liter era. The DOHC in-line 4-cylinder 1102cc engine’s awesome power created new excitement among European and American enthusiasts. The rear wheel was shaft-driven. A European version with continental handlebars and an oil cooler as well as an American version with up-slanted handlebars were available.
XS650 Special (1978)
This model was the one that set the fire under a boom in American style bikes based on the traditional vertical twin engine of the TX650. With features like a teardrop tank, and chopper style handlebars along with a King & Queen seat and short megaphone type muffler, all mounted on 16-inch wheels, this model achieved a true horseback type riding feeling. As the predecessor to the Special series bikes to follow, this model was popular both for long-distance touring and around-town riding.
RZ-250 (1980)
This was a supersport model developed with the TZ250 as its base. It immediately created a big sensation after its stunning debut at the 1979 Tokyo Motor Show. Its liquid-cooled 2-stroke, 2-cylinder engine pumped out high power equivalent to 140 hp per liter of displacement. This was mounted on a double cradle frame with a Monocross suspension and other features like lightweight cast wheels to produce unprecedented running performance. Even today it remains a legendary model with a devoted following.
XJ-750E (1981)
One of the models that embodied perhaps better than many others Yamaha’s ideal of building motorcycles that are “slim, compact and fun to ride” was the XJ750E. By locating the generator on the back side of the cylinders in an air-cooled 4-stroke DOHC in-line format, produced an engine that was exceptionally slim. This was an astonishing feat for a 4-cylinder 750cc, and it won the admiration of fans as a highly controllable 750
XV-750 Special (1981)
This American-style model mounted a newly developed 75-degree V-twin engine characterized by a sense of powerful torque that accentuated the solid American type ride. Also, adopting features like the first Monocross suspension in its class and shaft drive, it achieved higher levels of function and reliability as well. For these reasons this model won an especially strong reputation in overseas markets where longer riding distances are common.
XJ-650 Turbo (1982)
With its world’s first carburetor turbo system, the XJ650 Turbo was quick to draw attention at the 1981 Tokyo Motor Show. This, added to the introduction of the electronic fuel injection turbo system on the XJ1100 Turbo, focused much attention on Yamaha’s turbo technology. The aerodynamically designed full faring was the product of repeated wind-tunnel tests and employed much of the modeling technology and know-how from Yamaha’s marine division.
DT-200R (1984)
This “Super Trail” model brought the mechanics, performance and even the image of Yamaha’s YZ motocrossers to a street-legal vehicle for the first time. Its 2-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine was the first to adopt both the YEIS and YPVS technologies on its engine, achieving a high power output of 30 horsepower. In the front it sported a disc brake system designed specifically for offroad use.
FZ-750 (1985)
The FZ750 was quick to draw attention at the Cologne motor show in Germany in the autumn of 1984. Its world's first 5-valve DOHC parallel 4-cylinder, 45-degree forward-inclined engine, was the product of Yamahaﾕs pursuit of increased power output and vehicle stability. This “Genesis” concept has been passed on from the FZ to the FZR, and still continues to evolve.
SRX-600 (1985)
With its simple and Spartan styling, its lightweight, slim and compact body, the appealing presence of its mechanical features, and the pulse and riding feel unique to the big single, this model represented a tasteful Super Sports motorcycle for people who sought a profound motorcycling experience. Its SOHC 4-valve, single-cylinder engine adopted the YDIS system.
