Yamaha

It would be hard to miss this bright yellow Yamaha parked at a vintage motorcycle show. Although I think it would look better in our garage, now that I think about it. Appearing to have been extensively restored to… more»

Here’s a relatively big cylinder motorcycle for you fans of on/off-road bikes who want or need something bigger than a 175. Yamaha made this nice-sized motorcycle for just over a decade, and this 1975 Yamaha DT250B is listed here… more»

Having grown up with Yamahas, we haven’t really seen that many of them here on Barn Finds over the years, at least compared to Hondas. This 1972 Yamaha CT175 CT2 can be found here on Facebook Marketplace in beautiful… more»

Jumpin’ two-stroke smoke, Batman! Unless you were just born or have been living somewhere without TV or the internet, all of us have heard of Batman and Robin. Having debuted in 1939, the dynamic duo is still around today,… more»

Despite having some engineering issues, or maybe more compromises than issues, Yamaha’s DT400B is an incredible all-around on/off bike that works equally well in both situations. Ride it to work and then take the long way home, through the… more»
