From Piano's to the R1M. It all started with the Red Dragonfly. Nice old history piece celebrating the birth of a brand.

 
One of the best issues of Cycle News this year.
 
The closest I got to owning a Yamaha was my Toyota MR-2 who partnered with Yamaha on the 20 valve engine, same tech they used in their MotoGP bikes.

I did ride an R1 home for a friend once and I thought "Get the fucking thing away from me" I'm happy with my 600, always have been,
 
I have had a few. First bike Yamaha Mini Enduro. First street bike RD 350 cemented my love for Yamaha and as an OG-X racer it was an R6 that lifted my skirt.

First love sort of thing.
