'81 Yamaha Sales Brochure

[CatatonicBug]

If anyone is interested, I just acquired a digital copy of the '81 Yamaha sales brochure. It has pictures of all the bikes in production that year (though I think it was only the US models). It's a big, fold-out poster the size of 4 pages. I figure it might help identifying misc. bikes...

did not know that there was a XJ midnight maxim

Pretty cool to see how the brochures have changed over the years.

Hi Jmnjrpa,
Nothe the very bottom of page. This is a Canada brochure and we know not all models available on both sides of the border in any given year.

Very cool brochure, good find, but I have to ask, Why is the 79SF shown in 80SG livery?

Huh?? None of the bikes pictured are '79s or '80s. They are all '81 models.

Duh, my bad. Misread the label. Message to self: it says SH not SF dummy.
