The YDS3 was the machine which brought Yamaha to the public’s attention in Britain. It was late 1964 and the timing could not have been better for Yamaha’s sales and marketing team coming hot on the heels of the racing success that year with Yamaha taking the crown in the 250cc class. It was also the first Yamaha model to be sold in substantial numbers globally. The YDS3 was well received by most of the motorcycling press of the day, road test features in the magazines generally gave a very favourable impression of the bike. Positive media coverage did much to boost sales from 1965-67. Visually the YDS3 was significantly different from contemporary Hondas and its two main colour schemes – either in blue or red with a white pearlescent pattern on the fuel tank – instantly set it apart. There was also a more conservative black with a fern silver tank pattern.
