Yamaha ATV & UTV Reviews
Yamaha made its entry into the ATV market with a three-wheel Tri-Moto (YT125) in 1980, which it followed up with its first four-wheel ATV (YFM200) in 1984. Over the years, Yamaha still continues to offer ATV enthusiasts both sport and utility options. In 2004, Yamaha introduced its popular Rhino side-by-side model for a more performance-based UTV option.
