Reliability

One crucial trait of a quality motorcycle is its reliability. Owners want to know that their vehicle will safely take them to the destination without issue. It’s also important for the purchase to last for many years. No one wants to invest in a motorcycle only to be stuck replacing it soon after! That's why Yamaha motorcycles are built with reliability as a priority.

It starts with using high quality materials, which are put together using the latest in manufacturing design. These two elements combine to result in a durable, long-lasting motorcycle. Enjoy more time on the open road and less time waiting for your motorcycle to come out of the repair shop. Many Yamaha motorcycle owners end up spending less money on maintenance, especially in parts replacements and repairs.

This focus on reliability leads to impressive tangible results. For example, Consumer Reports did two massive studies comparing the top motorcycle manufacturers - and the findings supported Yamaha's reputation for reliability.

One survey analyzed almost 5,000 owners with motorcycles crafted from 2009 and 2012. Only 10% of Yamaha motorcycles needed a repair, making the company six times more reliable than the lowest ranking manufacturer.

The other survey looked at over 12,000 owners and the motorcycles that failed. Yamaha only had 11% of motorcycles failed, which was the lowest amount out of all the motorcycle manufacturers.
