Vintage Yamaha Dealership Pics was created by Quartermaster35

A lot of this site is about people reliving their youth...... I spent many hours as a kid lurking in dealerships "dreaming" of owning a new Yamaha.

Seems like we have multiple people on this forum that worked or owned Yamaha dealers hip back in the day.

I would love to see some pics from dealerships: showrooms, service depts & dealer events.

Post what you got and let us relive some of those memories!

Someone posted these a while back and I saved them. I swear that looks just like Twin-K Yamaha where I bought my brand new JT1 back in 71. Also saved an image off eBay of a sales brochure that some youngster had marked up. Classic stuff.

You got a string of badge bikes lined up, so it has to be 1971 or before.

A poster on the wall is advertising a 1971 RT1B.

I just noticed those two showroom photos placed side by side gives you a panorama view.
