Other Vehicles
Yamaha has also built engines for other manufacturers' vehicles, most notably the V-6 and V-8 engine for the Ford Taurus SHO. The Volvo XC90 uses a larger version of the same Yamaha V-8 engine. They also built Formula One racing engines from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s, with little on track success. In 1991, Yamaha developed its F1 engined supercar called the OX99-11 where two drivers sit in tandem in front of the engine, but the project was canned due to the world recession and lack of interest.Yamaha also tunes engines for other manufacturers, Toyota being one of them. Yamaha logos are, for instance, found on the Toyota S engines.Yamaha developed a prototype for a two-seater sports car with help of Albrecht Goertz. While the Yamaha/Nissan partnership never progressed beyond the prototype stage, Toyota took up the design and released the Toyota 2000GT.Yamaha is also one of the big 4 companies in the Personal water craft market.

The motorcycle above was Nelson's second machine - the Yamaha RD 250. A very capable bike, fast acceleration (wheelies) and good for a ton. Many sporting enthusiasts followed the racing successes of Yarno Sarinnen (the Flying Finn) then bought the road going version of the water-cooled TZ250. Later, Nelson fitted a full fairing for even more street cred.
One late winter evening, this fairing saved the intrepid biker from a soaking. Heavy rain had caused a minor flood at Alfriston in Sussex. I say minor, but in fact the water level was above the exhaust pipes, which as you can see in the picture above is about 230 - 290 millimeters or 9 - 11 inches. Hey, anyone remember imperial? Nelson used the twisty country lanes home to Seaford at speeds which would mean points, had he not been very careful to watch road conditions for safe passage. (By this we mean safety for other road users. Don't ride dangerously. By all means enjoy a safe blast, but ride considerately.)
Traversing Alfriston (famous for King Alfred burning the cakes) high street, he leant into the first tight right hander straight into a pond. Quickly, straightening up, he managed to glide the Yamaha through the 50 yards of water, touching down in the middle and revving, so as to keep the water from entering the exhaust pipes. What fun. If he hadn't been late for dinner, he'd have had another go.
