Invitation to Yamaha, a Corporate Information Booklet (circa 1990)


Yamaha booklet from circa 1990* so, yama-yama-yama (can't use the copyrighted version), 36 years later it's exact origin story slips my mind. Regardless, it is a Yamaha Motor Co, LTD, Japan publication that was likely intended to introduce us, as a new Yamaha motorycle dealer, to Yamaha's various interests around the world. The couple select images on this page pertain to motorcycles, the general interest of this blog, but the booklet covers many, many various products from scooters to sailboats. Note: the booklet does not include stereo equipment or musical instruments and it not known what else might be missing. The pdf can be viewed on the download link below.
