History of Yamaha bikes
- Thread starter bosco659
- Start date
I came across an old batch of Popular Science magazines from the mid-50's covering twelve years. I grabbed them from the recycler and recycled them to a friend for about 25 dollars postage/handling back in 2010 (?). In the series they had reviewed many of the first of the line products being made here and also shipped in from overseas. I do remember the review of the Honda as it opened in our market. I believe the Yamaha was mentioned as an overseas product due if the two-wheeled bikes took the fancy of American bikers. Maybe circa 1961?
