70th Anniversary Colours

To celebrate Yamaha's 70th birthday, four new 70th Anniversary Edition models are announced - the 2026 YZ125 70th Anniversary Edition, YZ250 70th Anniversary Edition, YZ250F 70th Anniversary Edition and YZ450F 70th Anniversary Edition.

The first Yamaha - a YA-1 competition model - rolled out of the factory in 1955. By 1961 Yamaha was competing in road racing Grand Prix with the now iconic red and white colour scheme. The 70th YZ graphics draw inspiration from those used on the first YZ400F as raced in the late 1990s by legends like Doug Henry and Andrea Bartolini.
