Yamaha Has Long History of Producing Quality, Top Performing Dirt Bikes
from: Maxx Sports GuidesYamaha Motor Company, which started manufacturing dirt bikes after the Second World War, has continued to produce high quality dirt bikes.
In the mid-1940s, then company president Gen-ichi Kawakami decided to take advantage of a production line and tooling once used for manufacturing aircraft engines.
The history of Yamaha dirt bikes started with its first bike, the "YA1" model. It was the forerunner in the history of Yamaha dirt bikes.
After introducing the YA1 to the market, Yamaha Motor Company provided the motorcycle industry with certain innovations and advancements such as the Autolube System. The system, which automatically mixes the oil and fuel, is designed for dual stroke engines.
The YA1 is an all purpose motorcycle with numerous features, including a plunger rear suspension system.
