As is known to all, Yamaha is famous for powerful, excellent bikes. Everyone may be fond of the glamour and speed of Yamaha bikes like automatic transmission bikes. In tenth place, we have the 247cc Yamaha YD2, which was introduced in 1959. As the first bike was imported to the United States from Japan, it was critically significant to create a good first impression.
This street bike also featured a motorbike cover and twin-cylinder motorcycle engine with a pressed steel frame. And for the first time ever in Yamaha history, it was an electric start. Though it is not as fast or as powerful as some of Yamaha’s other bikes, fans loved its reliability.
9 Yamaha YDS3C Big Bear
To be ironic, the Yamaha Big Bear dual-sport motorcycle is not so huge compared to some of the other sporting bikes out there. Of course, this bike, introduced in 1965, was Yamaha’s very first successful attempt at a street scrambler. The YDS2C goes to the top speed of 142 km/h, making it a pretty powerful bike of its era just like the automatic motorcycle cruiser nowadays. As a matter of fact, the bike was modeled after the YDS3.
In eighth place, we have the lovely Yamaha YZ250, which was introduced in 1974. Actually, it features the mono-shock suspension system or motorcycle fuel system, which Yamaha used to win the world championship in the previous year.
With the Yamaha RD350B, we’re actually dating back to 1973. Yamaha gave their engines a major upgrade with this bike and added motorcycle reed valves so that bikes will not experience sudden blowouts.
Do you still remember the Big Bear was the first street scrambler? Nowadays, the Yamaha XT500 took that to a whole different level and it brought a new era in sporting motorcycles with sportbike tires. This nimble yet powerful bike started in the mid-1970s, but there are still a plethora of fans out there today.
In fifth place, the Yamaha YZF-R7, a more recent bike introduced in 1999. This sporting bike, featuring a 749 cc, 4-stroke, 20-valve engine, and an eye-catching appearance, was the focus of many racers of the early 2000s. With 106 hp and a top speed of about 160 km/h, the Yamaha YZF-R7 was accurately described by Super Streetbikes magazine as a top-spec racing bike with the best motorcycle tyres.
The Yamaha RX100 was small like transmission bikes, with only 98 cc and a solid top speed of 113 km/h. I am sure that you may be wondering why this tiny 95 kg bike deserves a spot this high on the list. To be honest, it turns out that due to its lightweight and amazing reliability, the RX100 is one of the most popular Yamaha bikes.
It is not only famous for its rather distinctive design but the V-Max also features a powerful engine as well as a clutch lever, with 1200 cc and a top speed of 230 km/h.
You should focus on the whole motorcycle rather than its bulky exterior. What you’re looking at here is the winner of not one, but several world championships! In fact, multiple motorcycle superstars have fallen in love with its wicked fast handling and acceleration speed.
Last, but certainly not least, it's the Yamaha YZF 1000. This 1998 superbike has the reliability, speed, comfort, and looks of the others, all rolled into one fantastic beast of a machine. At 190 kg, the bike had a capacity of 998cc and an astonishing speed of 266 km/h.
