Yamaha DT1 Gallery
Winning an unprecedented following from
the time of its release, this DT-1 started a worldwide
boom in trail bikes. Before the appearance of the
DT-1, off-road bikes had been primarily “scrambler”
type bikes adapted from on-road models. By contrast,
this model was the embodiment of a machine to take
you “beyond where the roads end.” Packed
full of technologies and features expressly for off-road
riding, like a Ceriani type front fork with the longest
stroke of any Japanese-made unit at the time, Autolube,
a 5-port piston valve engine, wide-radius block-pattern
tires and an engine guard, this model created the
new genre known as “trail bikes.”
