Thinking about killing the health of two-wheel lovers, Senhor Carros' team of specialists hit the road after what are considered the 10 bikes that made an epoch around here and literally went down in history. 

Only a true motorcycle enthusiast will know all the models that we will present below. If you are a motorcycle enthusiast and are under 20 years old, be sure to check out the evolution of this type of vehicle in our country. 

It's time to get to know the motorcycles that made history around here! Let's go?

Get to know now the models of motorcycles that entered the history of Brazil due to somewhat specific particularities. 

We started with the famous fifties of the three tuning forks mark. 

The Yamaha RD 50 was the first motorcycle made in Brazil. In addition to pioneering, the Japanese brand created an innovative motorcycle for the time with low maintenance costs and a more than satisfactory performance for the time. 

The motorcycle was literally the basis for the development of the first generations of motorcycles produced here. 

The motorcycle had unique characteristics such as the Torque Induction system that helped maintain the internal pressure in the cylinder so that the explosion occurred with less backflow of mixture, which increased the engine's performance and improved gasoline burning. 

The performance and noise of this two-stroke makes many people miss it. 

The CG was certainly the first bike that many Brazilians rode. What few people know is that she, like the Volkswagen Gol, is over 40 years old. 

The small motorcycle was developed in 1976 especially for the Brazilian market, taking into account the needs and economic power of the time and was a more than accurate shot by the Japanese automaker.

The 1976 Honda CG 125 was robust and that alone was more than enough to draw attention. 

Its engine took the brunt when it was pushed beyond its capabilities. The exchange had 4 gears that, without being rotating, pointed only downwards and the return to neutral was done only in the opposite direction upwards.

It was quickly dubbed the two-wheeled beetle due to its popularity, low cost and the confidence it passed on to pilots. Without a doubt one of the bikes that made history in Brazil. 

The Vespa PX 200E attracted attention when it was launched in 1986 due to its displacement. 

In tests carried out by the automaker itself, the “scooter” managed to overcome the 100 km/h mark, something unimaginable for the time. Which caught the attention of many people. 

The bike maintained the tradition of previous models with a 4-speed gearbox engaged when turning the left handle. 

At the plump rear end caps covered the left-hand spare tire while the two-stroke engine sat to the right of the wheel. The bike was a real sales success in the year of its launch.

Nowadays, flying one of these is like going back in time and smelling diesel oil because of the “on-board technology”. 

It was DT that taught Brazilians to walk in the middle of the bush and not just that. It also showed how versatile a motorcycle can be off the asphalt! 

The 1981 Yamaha DT 180 is a real white fly these days and is recognized for a unique feature: The scale with rear suspension made with a circular tube section and not rectangular like the DT 180 released after it. 

With a two-stroke engine and a torque that pleases even today, the DT 180 was manufactured until 1997 and it is very difficult to find a model that is original. Prices currently vary. The newest ones can be worth around R$ 8 thousand. 

The first one, with the round tubes, can cost twice as much. Which makes it literally go down in the history of Brazilian motorcycles. 

The Yamaha YBR 125 was a milestone in the history of the Japanese manufacturer in Brazil for being the first popular model equipped with a four-stroke engine. 

The motorcycle proved to be a success and quickly became Yamaha's best-selling equipment in Brazil. highly praised At the time, the motorcycle stood out for having a more modern design and a more current engine than the competitor Honda CG 125 Titan. 

The model's greatest asset was the economy and reliability of its single-cylinder engine with a capacity of 124 cm³, two valves with simple overhead control and air cooling. 

According to the automaker, this engine was elected by all subsidiaries as the most compact, resistant and economical engine in the world. 

A few years after the launch, many motoboys went viral by showing the odometers of their YBR that had already run more than 100,000 kilometers. Without a doubt, it is one of the bikes that made history in Brazil. 

Here we have an example of a motorcycle that is eight or eighty. Either you love it or you hate it, there is no middle ground when we talk about AME Amazonas. 

The AME Amazonas was a huge motorcycle that had a gearbox and a beetle engine. The motorcycle even had reverse gear and at the time cost the equivalent of six copies of the honda CG 125. 

The motorcycle began to be produced in series in 1978 and was intended to serve the public that could not import motorcycles due to a vehicle import ban that hung over Brazil. 

Even today, some examples of this true trambolho can be found around. 

The first Brazilian motorcycle made in Japan was the 1980 CB 400, which came dismantled from the eastern country and was assembled in Manaus. 

The motorcycle arrived on the market at a somewhat peculiar time when the importation of motorcycles was still prohibited. This only made the thirst for big bikes grow considerably. 

The assembly solution in Manaus alleviated this shortage and made the bike an almost immediate success. A year later, a more luxurious version called the CB 400 II would appear. 

The first CBzona as it was nicknamed and the CB 400 II are still wanted today. A motorcycle that really made history in Brazilian cities and highways. 

You must be wondering: But what is one doing on a list of the 10 motorcycles that most made history in Brazil?

The answer is simple: The Yamaha Fazer 250 2005 was the first motorcycle produced in Brazil to leave the factory with electronic injection. A true milestone for the time. 

The injection probe made the bike much smarter than its main competitor at the time, the Honda Twister. In addition, fuel burning was more linear, which made the motorcycle somewhat economical. 

The Yamaha Fazer was and still is a great bike that can be Used in town and on the road without any kind of problem. 

Here we have one more specimen that may seem strange in our list but its presence is totally explainable. As many know, BMW has always been a globally recognized brand that has taken care of and still takes care of its name. 

That's why it was a real surprise when the automaker announced that it would produce a motorcycle outside of German territory. Well, the place chosen for production was Brazil and the model in question was GS 650. 

This milder behavior was the gateway for many other motorcycles to be produced here! 

Launched in 2005, the Suzuki Burgman AN 125 scooter was a true pioneer of this motorcycle segment in Brazil and for a long time led as the best-selling example among the others. 

Dubbed the burgminha, the scooter helped give birth to a legion of scooters in the country, such as the Yamaha Neo, the Honda PCX and the Honda Elite.

Renovated in 2011 and renamed Burgman i, the model was discontinued due to the incompatibility of the new ABS and CBS brake system, which are mandatory for all brand new motorcycles produced or imported here. 

Although considered by many to be a dangerous vehicle, motorcycles really arouse as much or even more passion than cars and certainly have a special place in the hearts of many Brazilians. 

Proof of this is that the number of motorcycles is greater than the number of cars without 45% in Brazilian cities. Therefore, whether for a walk or for work, Brazilians also like motorcycles.
