A japanese company that produces some of the finest motorcycles, ATVs, and Stereo equiptment around. Contrary to popular beleif among Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki enthusiasts, its not just a shitty company that makes shitty bikes that require maintenence all the time.
Before race: Man that Yamaha's a peice of shit, I can take that anytime.
After race: Fuckin' bike, its not working right, I would have toasted you.
Along with the afore mentioned electronics and small, open motor vehicles they also make a wide variety of musical instruments.
Yamaha makes some very well made Brass, Woodwind, Stringed and percussion equipment. Thou they are not the best money can buy, if you want a good musical instrument that will last you years don’t pass buy them.
The first musical instrument I ever bought was a Yamaha YSL Trombone, 9 years ago. That horn went though 3 years of middle school, 4 years of marching band in high school and is in its second year of college football-band usage. I use a Bach for class now but I will have that Yamaha until the day I die.
