"If you will make a move, function as best"

Ginichi Kawakami, Yamaha Motor Company First President.

Yamaha Motorcycles, under this motto, employing all its creativity, and with a very strong spirit of challenge, became how it is now: one of the primary players from the worldwide motorcycling scene.

But Yamaha's history doesn't focus on motorcycles...

It is last 1877 that Torakusu Yamaha started with the Nippon Gakki Company that later would become Yamaha Corporation: a significant manufacturer of a good instruments.

Because the company grew, they explored several fields of opportunity inside the textile industry while others.

During the The second world war, the company start a factory to make airplane propellers. This plant played an important role in Yamaha's admission to the motorcycle industry since you will see.

Following the war, Yamaha Corporation needed to find new ways to use the tooling and experience that was accumulated during their times within the airplane industry, and yes it was then when Yamaha Motor Corporation began.



You need to mention that of course this new company only agreed to be another branch of Yamaha Corporation, it absolutely was placed directly under an impartial management. In this instance, within the guidance of Ginichi Kawakami; which developed into a superb move.

Before producing their first motorcycle, Ginichi Kawakami traveled a lot establishing what can be very useful relationships. Younger crowd mailed his engineers to Europe together them learn to build motorcycles, particularly from DKW; whom with they kept an underground and unofficial long-lasting relationship.

One proof of that is that these days, the only two manufacturers in the arena of mass-produced five side-valve engines are Yamaha an Audi (DKW - Auto Union).

Probably the most important legacies because of this international relationships were all the relevant skills learnt by Yamaha's engineers on two stroke engines know-how. Other manufacturers as Suzuki wouldn't normally attain the same degree of increase in this area till seven years later.

To not wonder why the 1st bike from Yamaha Motorcycles the 125 YA-1 was fairly a faithful copy with the 1949 DKW RT 12. The only real two important differences were the 4 speed gearbox as opposed to the original three speed gearbox, plus a gear transmission replacing the principal chain drive.
