Yamaha Dirt Bike
What do a Yamaha Dirt Bike and a Japanese Piano Have in Common? One Man! Torakusu? Does the name ring a bell?
How about the name, Yamaha? Ah, that one is familiar. But, if you put both names together, Torakusu Yamaha, you've got the name of the young Japanese organ builder who is behind today's modern Yamaha dirt bike. Over a century ago, Torakusu needed a way to make a better reed organ. That's right. His first major success was Japan's first piano. With his success, his little company grew and moved on to other projects involving motorized vehicles. Torakusu's company, Nikkon Gakki Co., split and named its new motorized division, the Yamaha Motor Company. Engineers, employing their knowledge of lightweight metal alloys, needed in the manufacture of pianos, turned their knowledge towards motor bikes. In 1954, Yamaha engineers produced the company's first motorcycle, a YA1. Twenty years later, the company produced its first Yamaha dirt-bike, the DT1. It was followed by the YZ250 in 1975. Yamaha continued to advance in the dirt bike field with the release of its YZ400F in 1998.
Yamaha Thrills ! The newest Yamaha pit bike models, the YZ450F and the YZ250F, have been tricked out with many upgrades. "Gripper" seats and sturdier titanium foot pegs are among the improvements. Australian champion, Chad Reed, achieved his first American victory in 2001; he became the east coast Supercross champion onboard a 4-stroke Yamaha YZ250F. By 2006, Reed had switched up to a YZ450F. In spite of serious shoulder injuries, Reed lost the Supercross title by only 2 points. Like the riders of this extreme sport; and like the company's original founder, Torakusu Yamaha, the Yamaha dirt bike continues its quest for perfection.
