[edit] Formula One?
I don't know if it applies to this division of the Yamaha but in about 1995 didn't Yamaha make V10 Formula One engines for the Tyrell Formula One Team? I remember there being a refrence to it in the 1995/1996 book "Anatomy of Speed" by Terry Jackson. I think if relevent there should be a refrence to it.
[edit] 2 stroke DT125/YZ125 engines.
Hi, anyone out there got any experience of tuning these engines? I'm interested in trying out idea's on a slave engine; from simple porting to more extensive re-machining/re-designing the basic engine. Contact me on: dwill4165@hotmail.com Thanks and regards in advance, Derek.
[edit] No Wave Runners!
There is nothing on Yamaha PWC line, please someone more knowledgeablke about it make one
[edit] Article move/rename
Has this article been correctly titled? According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies), "Ltd" or "Limited" should not be included; it should just be "Yamaha Motor Company" or "Yamaha Motor Co." Then, "Ltd" should be used within the first line of the opening paragraph instead of the unabbreviated "Limited". -- DeLarge 06:54, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Absolutely. Arguably another choice could be just Yamaha Motor which is also free. However Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is completely contry to the policy. Ian3055 22:49, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
What about Yamaha's line of motor scooters? Should they be included here?
[edit] not still part of Yamaha Corporation?
The intro makes it sound like Yamaha Motor is no longer part of Yamaha Corporation, but the Yamaha Corporation page seems to suggest the opposite. Which is right? --Allen 20:17, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- No response, so based on Yamaha Corporation and yamaha.com, I've changed the first sentence. --Allen 02:21, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Corporations and logos
Yamaha Motor Co. is no longer a part of the Yamaha Corp. They were separated some years ago. However, they still share the same name and the "tuning forks logo", but there is a tiny difference in their logos. The "M" in YaMaha differs - in the musical/electronics division the M is cropped at the middle "V", while on the Motor Co. it runs down to the base line with the other letters. I notice the logo for the motor co. here at Wikip. is wrong, as it is actually the logo for Yamaha Corporation.
- The listing of the Yamaha Group of Companies still includes Yamaha Motor Company. Also, Yamaha Motor Company is still listed on Yamaha Corp.'s home page. Are you sure that the Motor Company is not still a subsidiary of the Corporation? Respectfully, SamBlob 01:32, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
