The Beginning

Yamaha powersports vehicles trace their history back to 1887. Torakusu Yamaha founded the company in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The original focus was on musical instrument manufacturing, such as making pianos and organs. The company logo reflects this as a circle of three interlocked tuning forks (which are used to tune pianos).

In the post-war years, many Japanese companies searched for ways to diversify their product lines in hopes of making up for the lost time as well as repurposing war-time manufacturing machines. Yamaha's company president at the time, Genichi Kawakami, decided to produce small engines for motorcycles. This was the start of Yamaha motorsports.

In 1955, the Yamaha Motor Company broke off from the larger business. Its two-stroke engine motorcycles saw great success. In 1968, they unveiled four-stroke engines. Yamaha motorsports was gaining popularity among its consumer base.
 

Expansion

Decades of success producing Yamaha motorsports products created a great foundation for the company to branch out into the all-terrain vehicle market as well as personal watercraft market. In 1986, they created the WaveRunner® 500, which revolutionized the industry. They soon expanded into other product offering lines and building the foundation for Yamaha powersports.
 

Yamaha Powersports Today

The company today still produces musical instruments as well as electronic devices, snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, personal watercraft, motorcycles, and automobile engines.
