Yamaha Motor celebrates its 65th birthday on 1 July 2020 – a date that is now known as Yamaha Day. Due to ongoing restrictions, this year’s festivities are all planned to happen online. The theme for 2020 is heritage and the aim is to build a closer connection to the Yamaha brand.

Interviews with legends by legends and a chat about the new Tenere 700s at Yamaha’s 64th birthday last year.

To help celebrate, YMA has created a Yamaha Day web page, which you can click here to visit. YMA encourages all Yamaha fans to check out the page, learn more about our unique history and let us know your Yamaha story. Last year they had a big party, check out our feature.
