Two Wheeler Insurance for Yamaha

The first engine produced by the then infant company was a 125CC, two-stroke, single-cylinder motor. It was fitted to the YA-1, which itself was based heavily on the German DKW RT 125. The motorcycle was almost immediately successful as it went on to dominate the Mt. Fuji Ascent, as winning all three podium spots in the All Japan Autobike Endurance Road Race in the same year. This motivated Yamaha to focus its efforts on racing and it entered international professional racing in 1956.

The YA-1 was Yamaha’s weapon of choice at its debut in the Catalina Grand Prix, where it grabbed the sixth position. Over the years, experiments and developments in Yamaha’s stable led to its first victory at the Belgium GP in 1963, where it won the 250CC class.

Yamaha was slow to board the four-stroke train, with its first multi-cylinder four stroke motorcycle being the XS-750, in 1976. Since then, it has been a constant championship contender with Valentino Rossi being one of the most successful riders in the MotoGP class aboard a Yamaha.

Yamaha manufactures motorcycles in almost every segment. Be it 200+HP supersport monsters, or 100CC daily commuters, Yamaha has a product for every need. Among its most recent launches is the 2020 YZF-R1M, which is its flagship litre-class supersport motorcycle. It also launched the MT-15, a 150CC naked commuter which houses the company’s brand-new 155CC, single-cylinder engine.
