Yamaha Motor has been making hearts beat faster for more than 65 years. The brand is shaped by a passion for technical excellence, proven quality, durability and reliability, all of which combine to create excitement and make customers feel one with their vehicle. From ATVs and motorcycles to outboards, golf carts to snowmobiles, each of our products is made with the customer in mind. The Yamaha ATV and Side-by-Side lineup is designed to give our customers the opportunity to experience the great outdoors like never before.

Limited editions & new look

Yamaha's Utility segment focuses on users who need a high-performance, robust and reliable partner for their daily work, with which they can not only achieve the desired result, but also enjoy the true beauty and joy of their work. The Leisure series, on the other hand, was developed as the ideal partner for all adventurers and nature lovers - whether alone or in company with others. The Sport segment has its origins in Yamaha's unmistakable racing DNA: adrenaline and performance have produced the most competitive competitors, from the youngest to those pilots dreaming of the Dakar.
