1957 Yamaha YA 2 Who Won The First Good Design Ever
As its successor of Yamaha YA-1, the output of the two-stroke single-cylinder engine increased by about 1 PS and was installed in a newly designed press backbone frame. The non-spring unit features a bottom-link-type front fork and a swing arm-type rear suspension to make the model look completely new.
Its unique styling, emphasizing lightness and power, has won the first ever Good Design award for Yamaha motorcycles.
