Yamaha was the first to manufacture motorcycles in Brazil, but Honda took the lead with speed and strategy, marking one of the biggest rivalries in the sector.
When it comes to motorcycles in Brazil, two names dominate the conversation: Yamaha and Honda. But, contrary to what many people think, it was not Honda that took the first steps in the country. History shows that Yamaha was the first to manufacture motorcycles on Brazilian soil. This old dispute still moves the market and keeps the rivalry between two giants of the sector alive.
Yamaha: the first motorcycle factory in Brazil
Yamaha was the pioneer. On October 10, 1974, the company opened its first factory outside Japan, located in Guarulhos, São Paulo.
With this, the country began producing motorcycles. That same year, the famous RD 50, nicknamed “cinquentinha” (a small motorcycle), was launched, which marked the beginning of the era of motorcycles manufactured in Brazil. The arrival of Yamaha represented an important step forward for the two-wheeled sector in the country.

Honda: discreet arrival, but with a vision for the future
Honda arrived in Brazil three years before Yamaha, in 1971, but started out more discreetly, only importing motorcycles.
It was only in 1976 that the company decided to produce locally. The factory was set up in Manaus, Amazonas. There, the CG 125 was born, the brand's first motorcycle made in Brazil. The model quickly became popular among Brazilians and was a huge sales success.
Leadership with speed
Even though it started local production later, Honda soon overtook the competition. The CG 125 became the best-selling motorcycle in the country, which strengthened the brand's presence among consumers.
Over the years, the company has expanded its model range and spread throughout the country. Today, Honda is the undisputed leader in the Brazilian motorcycle market, with millions of units produced and sold.
Rivalry and respect
Honda advanced quickly and efficiently, but Yamaha never stopped being a respected competitor. Even though it did not achieve leadership, it maintained its strength in the market, investing in innovation, technology and design.
The two companies continue to be side by side in the imagination of Brazilian motorcycle enthusiasts. Each one has its own identity, history and loyal audience.
Despite their different trajectories, Yamaha and Honda have established themselves as symbols of two-wheel culture in Brazil.
Yamaha took the title of pioneer in production, while Honda dominated the market with impressive numbers. The dispute between the brands still generates debates among fans and shows how this rivalry helped shape the motorcycle sector in the country.
The Brazilian team's red shirt has nothing to do with politics. Okay then.
My comment is that Lula's **** is a tremendous son of a ****, who only knows about trillions for Nikolas, his mature man, and only knows how to **** and lie, that's the only thing this pest knows how to do...
They are stealing the INSS from the elderly because they are tired and have no one to look after them. If it were something small, the STF would have already investigated, but since there is a maneuver scheme for them to also benefit, they will drag it out along with Lula, otherwise they would have already found his finger.
