I am curious, why doesn’t Yamaha Canada use blue company colors on everything the same as the USA?

Yamaha colors have traditionally been red, white and black all around the world. The fact is, Yamaha USA chose to introduce their own unique colors to the motorcycle racing world around 1980 with the well know yellow and black which was never really adopted outside of North America. It was in the mid-nineties when Yamaha USA once again decided to fly unique colors this time by changing the traditional corporate red and white to blue and white which in many of the countries had represented the marine and power equipment product lines. Yamaha Motor Canada decided to stay with the traditional factory corporate colors of red and white. At the same time Yamaha established the dark blue and strobes ‘factory racing’ identification which is actually a different color blue than Yamaha USA corporate colors. Confused yet? I am! At the end of the day, Yamaha racing colors are dark blue, YMCA corporate colors are the traditional red and white which is also reflected in our special 40th anniversary
