Watch the Most Insane Yamaha R6-Swapped Dirt Bike Take Flight

There are wild videos, and then there's what you're about to watch. We've seen superbikes converted, more or less, into off-road capable bikes from plenty of channels. But it's much rarer to see a supersport or superbike engine swapped into a dirt bike's frame because it's much harder to make…

Yamaha Has Made a Million R15 Sportbikes, They're Still Not Coming To the US

I love small-displacement motorcycles, particularly sportbikes. They may not make sense to a lot of people since the very essence of a sportbike is about going fast. But not small sportbikes. They’re fun, easy to ride, and look like miniature versions of their top-tier siblings.

Custom motorcycles are cool for a whole number of reasons. For one, they’re all about self-expression—rolling pieces of art that blend craftsmanship, performance, and attitude.

Toyota Once Faked the LFA's V-10 Sound in a Regular Car

Toyota's naturally aspirated V-10 from the LFA was a one-and-done affair since the 4.8-liter engine was sadly never used in another model. However, at one point, the sweet music made by the 1LR-GUE, co-developed with Yamaha, was baked into a normal car. It was more of an experiment to discover…

These Vintage Yamaha Dirt Bikes Sat For Over 20 Years, Can They Run?

I Can't Stop Staring At This Sweet New Yamaha Paint Option

When it comes to retro modern motorcycle designs, it's hard to fault Yamaha's takes in recent years. Sure, I might still be a little salty that we don't get the XSR900GP in the US, but that's only because it's absolutely glorious in terms of styling, and I also think they'd…
