Yamaha Dirt Bikes - Since about 1996 Yamaha dirt bikes have just been getting better & better. A process of only minor updates to an existing range coupled with an innovation in introducing high performance 4 stroke Yamaha dirt bikes sees Yamaha at the forefront of their industry.

The Japanese have a term for this "Kaizen" with 'kai' meaning continuous/change and 'zen' meaning good/improvement and Yamaha have certainly taken this mantra to heart.

A lot of Yamaha's fortunes could be attributed to the YZ125 motocross bike. From 1996 to about 2002 it was the choice of many riders as it was a complete package. With power and 'rideability' it suited pro's and amateurs alike.

The development of the YZ400F (to become the 426 then 450) and the introduction of the YZ250F, Yamaha dirt bikes were taking a huge market share. And by producing the WR range based on these bikes (with electric start) Yamaha continued their position as a market leader.

From the mainly unchanged peewee's (where most riders will admit to 'cutting their teeth' on) to the TTR, YZ/YZF & WR range of Yamaha dirt bikes. There's a Yamaha dirt bikes to suit every rider:
