Yamaha Motto?
« on: 16 February 2013, 06:35:19 pm »
Fancy getting myself a half decent license plate made up for my bike, and wanted the Yamaha motto/tag line on it. Used to have a similar thing on my old ninja saying "Let The Good Times Roll", which was the Kwak motto, but what's the Yamaha equivalent?

Apparently it's "If you are going to make it, make it the very best there is."

the strapline on the advertising and marketing for the 2002 Fazer foxeye was
 "Work. Play. And the rest"

Don't know what the Yamaha motto is but here's two that were for OLD bikes that I've had

built like a bridge........... never quite got that?

made like a gun............... could explain one of the models name?

Think the "Built like a Bridge" might be the Francis Barnett which at one time was built from short sections of steel bolted together (1930s?).
"Made like a Gun" could be either BSA(Birmingham Small Arms) or Royal Enfield (Redditch) who also made rifles & guns.
