Yamaha Collection Hall, an itinerant exhibition that will be seen in several events organized by the brand in Europe and, unfortunately, will not be open to the public.

Any important brand worth its salt should have a museum where it shows its most mythical bikes and with which it is most proud either for the achievements made in competition or because they were very well received on the street.

If KTM opened the doors of its Motohall to the public on May 11, it is now Yamaha's turn to inaugurate its Yamaha Collection Hall, an itinerant show that will be seen in several events organized by the brand in Europe and that, Unfortunately, it will not be open to the public.

Motorcycles from 1961 to the present

In this Yamaha museum, opened on September 25, authentic jewels of the Iwata brand are shown from 1961 to the present. Some of the oldest motorcycles in the exhibition are the Yamaha MF1 of 1961, the Yamaha YL1 of 1969 or the Yamaha YAS1 of 1968.

There are also motorcycles as special and poorly seen as the Yamaha XJ650 turbo that was first shown in 1986, although it was never released. The Yamaha MT 03 Concept is another of the rough diamonds that those who are lucky enough to match this Japanese brand exhibition will see.

Among the most mythical motorcycles we can see the Yamaha YZE750 with which the former driver Stephan Peterhansel won the Dakar almost 30 years ago, in 1991. The Superbike world champion with Ben Spies in 2009, the Yamaha YZF-R1, is another saved bonbon of the sample. Nor can we ignore the Yamaha YZ450F of the 2006 MX World Championship run by Everts and that also gave the title of Enduro of Le Touquet in 2015 to Adrien Van Beveren.

In the act of presentation were present figures of the world of Motorcycling such as Stephan Peterhansel, Giacomo Agostini, Christian Sarron or Stefan Everts. Nor could missing personalities of the brand such as Lin Jarvis, managing director of Yamaha Motor Racing, Mandy Kainz, manager of the Yart Yamaha EWC Team and Ferry Brouwer, founder of the Yamaha Classic Racing Team.
