Chivalry slogan

Yamaha, as one of the four largest motorcycle factories in Japan, not only has extremely fine and meticulous car-making technology, but also has built many classic models with unique design concepts. Today, I will sort out five classic cars of Yamaha for fans, and review these classics together in the torrent of history.

1.FZR750R(OW0 1)

FZR750R(OW0 1).

1985, Yamaha, which didn't have a large four-stroke sports car at that time, launched the painstaking masterpiece "FZ750" in order to win the competition. 1985, Yamaha built the FZR750(OW74) racing car on the basis of FZ750 in order to participate in the TT-F 1 class of Suzuka eight-hour endurance race at that time, and recruited Kenny, a well-known WGP player. Roberts and Hirahiko represent Shiseido? Tech2 1 "came out, although it was leading all the way in the race, but mechanical failure occurred at 6 minutes and 58 seconds, and the vehicle emitted a lot of white smoke, and finally it had no choice but to retire, but this did not affect the shock that FZR750 brought to the audience in the race. The heroic battle of FZR750 has long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of fans.

Subsequently, in 1987, Yamaha introduced the commercial version of FZR750R(OW0 1), which adopted the aluminum alloy frame and the newly imported FAI system. That is Yamaha's first pure imitation racing model 750c.c, with five-valve design, short connecting rod and ultra-high rotation setting, and titanium alloy piston connecting rod, which can be said to be comparable to the factory in terms of materials.

2.YZF-R 1

1998 formula YZF-R 1.

FZR 1000 from 1986, facing the strong enemy Honda? With the appearance of CBR900RR, Yamaha began to develop the next generation of four-stroke imitation racing car, that is YZF-R 1. First of all, in the engine part, the original R 1 effectively shortened the length of the straight-four engine by improving the axial position of the gearbox and realized the compact design. This design has also become the object of imitating racing cars. With Kehin? CV？ 40mm carburetor, 998c.c straight four engine, the engine output was the strongest at that time, the maximum horsepower reached 150 PS @ 10000 RPM, the maximum torque 108nm @ 8500 RPM, and the dry weight was also the lightest at that time.

With the shortening of the engine, the frame is also reduced, equipped with Delta? Box? II frame makes YZF-R 1 shorten the wheelbase to 1385mm without affecting the length of the rocker arm, and with a small angle of rake angle, it creates amazing cornering performance. As early as FZR 1000, it became the standard KYB? The 4 1mm inverted fork naturally lengthened, continuing FZR to become the only car equipped with inverted fork in the Japanese Volkswagen upgrade imitation competition. Now YZF-R 1 has developed to the eighth generation, and the latest R 1 is equipped with a large number of MotoGP decentralized electronic control technologies. No matter how many times it has been changed, the only constant is its status as a master sports car and the spirit of track technology.

3.V-MAX

VMAX .

The first generation of VMAX appeared in the automobile industry in 1985, and made its debut as an export vehicle for the North American market. At that time, the research and development concept of VMAX was "street linear acceleration racing". According to Yamaha? The first generation VMAX developed by American concept Company was equipped with the representative "V-engine with large displacement" in American motorcycle competition at that time, and became a car model to show the appearance and courage of American heavy machinery.

VMAX's v-type 4-cylinder DOHC? 4. Valve1198 C.C. Engine, using double carburetors as the "V-Boost" of engine power? Forced air intake system "and other high-tech equipment, the first generation of VMAX used the world's strongest power at that time 145ps to make the huge body of 265kg go from 0 to 400m in 10 second. VMAX subverts the common sense of Americans and cruise cars so far, and is warmly loved by North American knights for its unique and powerful personality and overwhelming power performance. Because of North America's love for VMAX, it ignited the flame of VMAX's world sales market and became a best-selling car model, which became a household name in the car industry and sold more than 6,543,800 units.

4.SR400

SR400 .

The first appearance of SR car was in the second half of 1970. At that time, the engine kept high performance, from two cylinders to four cylinders, from OHC to DOHC, and from air cooling to water cooling. Under this trend of high performance, SR appears in the opposite direction.

Similar to the model of 1960, it exudes a classic sense of aging. Won the championship in the "Paris Dhaka Rally" in 1 and 2, and adjusted the engine of XT500, a dazzling off-road vehicle. According to the Japanese driver's license system, two versions of SR500 and SR400 with reduced travel and exhaust volume were introduced, with maximum horsepower of 32ps and 27ps respectively. This kind of dynamic performance may seem a little outdated by today's standards, but it is still air-cooled by single cylinder, equipped with hair pedals, steel spoke wheel frames, electroplating accessories and so on. Except for computer spray control, none of the classic elements have been reduced. If you want to experience 40 years of romance, there may be no more suitable choice except SR400, which is an evergreen tree in the car world.

5.TMAX

TMAX .

TMAX is the first large scooter with a displacement of 499c.c It is also the first large scooter with a double cylinder configuration. Even if the wheelbase is as long as 1575mm, the sports performance is excellent, and the official claims that the available inclination angle can reach an exaggerated 50 degrees! When I first came out, I subverted the established impression of the big pedal in the past and shocked the car world. It has undoubtedly set a benchmark for today's large-scale sports pedal market. Since TMAX, it has laid the foundation for Yamaha. MAX family spirit slogan "Nothing? But? That? MAX ",the development concept of MAX family car in the future, is to inherit its design DNA.

abstract

Although Yamaha is ridiculed by riders as the brand of "the most crooked technology tree", it actually represents the spirit of Yamaha's courage to try and innovate, as well as "Revs? Yours? " "Heart" is the core concept of the brand, and it is an unchanging purpose to bring people feelings through the encouragement of the engine. Whether it is a sports car like FZR, TZR, R 1 that pursues the ultimate performance or a car like TMAX that creates new heights, it has subverted the existing imagination of the public again and again. Today, Yamaha still shocks the car world with more unique cars and continues to create a legend of the car world that goes down in history.
