In 1877 the Nippon Gakki Company was founded by Torakusu Yamaha, and this company was actually the forerunner of the Yamaha Corporation. Torakusu's motto was 'if you are going to do something, be the best!'. It was under this ethos that he immersed himself in his business, originally as a producer of musical instruments, but later branching out into various industries including making aeroplane propellers for the Japanese Air Force during WW2.
It wasn't until the mid 50's that the company began producing motorcycles, initially producing an affordable 125cc motorcycle, named the YA-1. The bike was such a success that the company very quickly incorporated a subsidiary, the Yamaha Motor Corp.
During the years that followed, the company produced a dazzling array of exciting machines, many inspired race track technology such as the legendary RD (Race Developed) models of the 70's, 80's and 90's. To this day the company manufacture a range of class-beating machines and are known as one of the 'Big Four' Japanese motorcycle producers.
