Yamaha has kicked off its 70th anniversary celebration in jaw-dropping fashion, unveiling the 2026 70th Anniversary Edition YZ lineup — a tribute to seven decades of motorsports dominance. The special-edition YZ450F, YZ250F, YZ250, and YZ125 not only carry the performance pedigree that has made Yamaha a powerhouse on tracks worldwide but also feature a striking modern reinterpretation of the brand’s legendary red and white speed block livery.
This bold design nods to Yamaha’s rich racing history, paying homage to the machines and riders who have carried the brand to countless championships. The vibrant red and crisp white blocks, accented by sleek modern detailing, create a visual statement that turns heads before the gate even drops. Each bike embodies a perfect marriage of heritage and innovation — a combination Yamaha has refined for 70 years.
Underneath the anniversary graphics lies the same cutting-edge technology that has kept Yamaha at the forefront of motocross performance. The YZ450F and YZ250F boast refined engine mapping, lightweight chassis designs, and advanced suspension systems tuned for razor-sharp handling. The two-stroke YZ250 and YZ125 bring the raw, exhilarating feel of classic motocross into the modern era with updated ergonomics and race-ready features.
