YAMAHA YD RACER
The early history of Yamaha Racing
This website is the home and resource covering the
earliest history of Yamaha's thoroughbred racing motorcycles.
Later development is also included, showing how some of the forgotten Yamaha race bikes evolved into the models we are all familiar with.
The ancestry of the TZ and M1 began here,
with the 1957 Yamaha YD-A & YD-B
