Yamaha Motorcycles
Yamaha Motorcycles include the Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R6, the Yamaha FJR1300 touring motorcycle, and the FZ1 and FZ6 Yamaha street motorcycles. Yamaha’s off-road motorcycles include the YZF motocross and WR endurance models.
Yamaha has been producing motorcycles since 1955 and they appeared on U.S. shores just three years later. Quickly adopted by racers, Yamaha motorcycles have been winning races at virtually every level for decades. Today Yamaha manufacturers a huge variety of motorcycles for just about every purpose. Newer riders can choose from the likes of the diminutive C3 scooter and unintimidating V Star 250 cruiser, while more experienced pilots can opt for the YFZ-R1 sportbike, the YZ450F motocrosser and dozens of other high performance machines. Yamaha is also aggressively adding to its already impressive fleet with models like the dual sport Super Tenere R1-inspired FZ8. Yamaha fans can also draw inspiration from its many championship winning racers.

2012 Yamaha WR450F Review
The 2012 Yamaha WR450 is here. But before we get into everything new, updated, borrowed and unique, you might want to ask yourself what your perfect 450cc-class off-road bike would be. Don't compromise. Set your expectations high. After all, this is 2012.
2012 Yamaha Zuma 125 Review
If riding a small-bore scooter leaves you feeling emasculated, consider the Yamaha Zuma 125: rugged, aggressive styling (especially in black), fat, semi-knobby tires and power enough to shoot its rider across an intersection faster than the average car.
2012 Yamaha YZF-R15 Review
Small-displacement sportbikes are getting more attention as the world economy continues to struggle. The 150cc, Yamaha YZF-R15 was the first sportbike produced in India back in 2008, and the fuel-injected model now receives a host of upgrades.
2012 Yamaha YZF-R1 Review [Video]
To save the suspense, I'll say it up front: Yamaha's new traction control system on the 2012 YZF-R1 works exactly as advertised. The rest of the 2012 Yamaha R1 is largely the same sportbike we've had since 2009.
2012 Yamaha Zuma 50F Review [Video]
Yamaha has given its popular Zuma scooter a major upgrade in 2012. Gone is its 49cc two-stroke heart and in its place is a SOHC, liquid-cooled, three-valve four-stroke engine of the same displacement.

2013 Sport-Touring Shootout 1.0 - Video
Since Yamaha was kind enough to revamp the FJR1300 for 2013, we thought it was high time to see how it stacked up against the Honda ST1300 and Kawasaki Concours 14 in a sport-touring shootout.
2012 Adventure-Touring Shootout - Video
BMW's R1200GS has long been the cock of the walk when it comes to big-bore Adventure-Touring bikes, but it's now got competition from Yamaha, Triumph, KTM and Moto Guzzi. Have any of these newer models surpassed the mighty GS as the class benchmark?
2012 Dual-Sport Shootout - Video
Despite few changes in the DS segment in the past few model years, we decided to sample some current DS offerings to see if there is a do-it-all bike that doesn't suck the fun out of one type of riding or the other.
2012 Japanese Superbike Shootout - Video
Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha have all tweaked their respective contenders for 2012 - the CBR1000RR, GSX-R1000 and YZF-R1, have significant changes, while Kawasaki returns for 2012 with the same traction-control-equipped machine it introduced last year.
2012 125cc Scooter Shootout [Video]
The red-headed stepchild of motorcycledom, scooters are a strong alternative to the costs of car ownership and public transit. We decided to pit three of these gas sippers against each other - the Honda PCX, Piaggio Typhoon 125 and Yamaha Zuma 125.
