Yamaha end 1958 full-range brochure

By the end of 1958 Yamaha Motor Company issued their first English brochures.

Here is a lovely example of a Brochure, which I think, is from the end of 1958. The Yamaha range coprises only out of a 125 cc, 175 cc and 250 cc model (they even forgot to mention the type.....). The YD2 appeared in February 1959 but is not shown yet. But the participation and 6th place in the catalina Island Races are mentioned. That was in May 1958. So the brochure must be from the Fall of 1958!
