Yamaha Corporation as we know it today was created more than a hundred years ago. The main activity was the production of musical instruments, a small organ, a piano...
Nippon Gakki Co., later renamed Yamaha, was founded in 1980 by Torakusu Yamaha. As stated in the introduction, the company has been engaged in the production of musical instruments since its foundation. They started with a small organ and piano, and today they are one of the largest manufacturers of equipment for musicians in the world. The logo on the gas tanks is 3 crossed tuning forks. Thanks to the production of these forks and pianos, the company's craftsmen have gained extensive experience working with metals and various alloys. This experience, combined with the experience gained during World War II, as well as the high demand for cheap vehicles led to the fact that Yamaha began the production of motorcycles.
