Yamaha Dirt Bikes

Here's Yamaha's dirt bikes. Yamaha has one of the most complicated line ups when it comes to their off road machines. To simpify things I've only included the DT trail bikes along with IT, TT, TTR, XT, and WR models. The lower timeline show's Yamaha's motocross YZ and YZ-F machines. Some day I hope to refine these timelines to include a more complete picture of all the trail machines these companies offered.

Suzuki Dirt Bikes

Here's Suzuki's dirt bike timeline. The upper timeline show's Suzuki's TC trail bikes, DR, and DR-Z models. The lower timelines shows the motocross bikes the TM, RM, and RM-Z's.

Kawasaki Dirt Bikes

Here's Kawasaki's dirt bikes. The timeline above show's Kawasaki's KE, KD/KDX, KLR, and KLX bikes. It also shows most of Kawasaki's early trailbikes. The lower timeline shows Kawasaki's motocross bikes, the KX and KX-F.

Honda Dirt Bikes

Here's the first of many dirt bike timelines I've been working on. Honda has one of the most extensive lines of off road bikes available. For this perticular timeline I've put Honda's off road, and enduros on top, and motocross bikes on the bottom. 

Honda like many other manufacturers in the early 1970's flooded the market with dozens of redundant trail bikes. Some were legit, and some were no more than mini bikes or scooters with knobby tires. Models like CL, MT, ST, SL and others have not been include in this timeline. What I have included are Honda's XL, XR, CR, and CRF models.

Stay tuned for the rest of the big four's dirt bikes as well as KTM, Husqvarna, Husaberg, and more!
