Hello Yamaha Motorcycle Enthusiasts
and collectors. Here’s an extremely rare
and highly sought after 1957 Yamaha 125cc Y-A1. The Yamaha YA1 is the first motorcycle
model ever built by Yamaha Motorcycle Company.
Production years were 1955 - 1958 for the Japanese market only. Known as the Red Dragonfly, this bike was the
9th Yamaha motorcycle built during the 1957 production year. Yamaha VIN #A57-9009.
For Yamaha fans, this might be the
crown jewel of any serious enthusiast’s collection. The Y-A1 is Yamaha’s first motorbike. Famous
not just for being a successful racing machine right off the bat, but also
introducing the clutch-in, kick-start system used on virtually every bike
afterwards until the age of electronic ignition. This bike still has its original tires,
original seat, original grips and original foot pegs which are all very rare
for a Yamaha YA1’s. We’re told by the owner that this
motorcycle was on display in the famous Japanese Iwashita Collection Main Museum
since the early 1960’s. Mr Iwashita’s
museum sat at the base of Mount Fuji which was also the start of the famous Mt
Fuji motorcycle race. When Mr Iwashita
passed his collection was sold and this 1957 Yamaha Y-A1 was shipped to the
United States. This is a fully running,
all original condition Yamaha Y-A1.

Scott Russell Returning To Yamaha Champions Riding School Next Week
Wed, 10 Sep 2014This just in from the Yamaha Champions Riding School: the Champ is back! As many of you know, Scott fell off a dirtbike and tumbled around long enough to hurt himself back in July. But he just called and drawled, “I’ll be back for the school as soon as I’m able to ride…let’s fill it up and have some fun!” With the final round of the AMA SuperBike series coming to New Jersey Motorsports Park this weekend, it’s a perfect time for Mr.
AMA Supercross: 2012 New Orleans Results
Mon, 16 Apr 2012Ryan Villopoto has already secured the 2012 AMA Supercross Championship but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to let up and take it easy over the remainder of the season. The Monster Energy Kawasaki racer clinched his second consecutive title two weeks ago in Houston, Texas, but he continued his dominance in AMA Supercross’ return to New Orleans’ Superdome, taking the holeshot and leading all 20 laps for his ninth win of the season in 14 rounds. The New Orleans round may have lacked some big names currently nursing injuries such as Ryan Dungey, James Stewart and Chad Reed, but Villopoto provided a star effort in the first AMA Supercross race in the city since 2009.
