Yamaha Motorcycles
Yamaha has been manufacturing motorcycles and industrial machinery since 1955, and the company is also the world’s largest manufacturer of musical instruments. Yamaha has had a reputation for premium construction and elegant design for all of its products since day one, and the motorcycles are no exception. Every Yamaha bike is developed from thousands of man-hours of research and development, and designs that are as beautiful as they are functional. Yamaha motorcycles offer great performance and they couldn't be easier to maintain and service. They also offer great maneuverability and balance
Honda Motorcycles
Honda started manufacturing motorcycles in 1948 and is also well-known for manufacturing automobiles, ATVs, emergency generators and other machinery. One of the things that the Honda faithful count on is that each subsequent year model of Honda motorcycle will be more powerful and usually less expensive. Honda’s relentless pursuit of improved horsepower, torque, braking and acceleration shows in every motorcycle and ATV that rolls off the production line each year. You can always count on Honda motorcycles to be among the top sellers in every segment of the motorcycle industry.
”Tale of The Tape”
Yamaha and Honda both make motorcycles in many of the same market segments, and your decision should be influenced by both your budget and the features that you’re looking for. Honda motorcycles definitely take an “engine first” approach to design and manufacturing, and Yamaha builds powerful motorcycles with great lines and a seamless blend of form and function. When we say that Honda takes an “engine first” approach, we’re definitely not suggesting that they take any shortcuts in design or that Yamaha’s engines are inferior. In fact, both companies are winners in this competition. Be sure to take a test ride on both to see which one works best for you.
