Yamaha® Motorcycles Are Reliable

If you were to sum up the best part of a Yamaha motorcycle, the world "reliability" comes to mind. Yamaha is known for prioritizing reliability in the design of all its motorcycles. Only high quality materials are used, which helps extend the lifespan of the motorcycle. The materials are then manufactured using cutting-edge design techniques, which also boosts the durability of each model. 

The end result? Owners enjoy fewer trips to the service department, more affordable repair bills, and more years out of the given model. This perk alone is why so many motorcycle riders choose a Yamaha model.

But don't just take our word for it. Data analysts have done research on this very topic and concluded that Yamaha motorcycles offer exceptional reliability. Consumer Reports conducted two big surveys comparing the most popular motorcycle manufacturers - and Yamaha came out on top in both of them.

The first survey looked at almost 5,000 motorcycles built between 2009 and 2021. Only 10% of the Yamaha motorcycles needed a repair. This is six times more reliable than the lowest ranking manufacturer.

The other survey looked at 12,000 motorcycles that had failed. Only 11% of those were Yamaha motorcycles, which is the lowest number of all the motorcycle manufacturers.

These surveys help support what we already knew - Yamaha motorcycles are built to last!
