2. Yamaha
Another well-known Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, Yamaha ranks second in our list of best-selling motorcycles of all time. It brings its first motorcycle into the world with their YA-1. This model was produced and sold in Japan. In 1958 the first Yamaha motorcycles were sold in the United States by Cooper Motors, an independent distributor. These models include the YD1 and MF-1. Two years later, the aid of Cooper Motors was not needed and Yamaha began selling their own motorcycles in America. Yamaha has since then produced a line of motor vehicles ranging from golf carts to jet skis! With all their success and advancements, it’s no wonder they have soared to the top and are amidst the best-selling motorcycles in the world!
