As you have seen so many different factory racing bikes now, here is a chronological of the machines of the first period, up to 1968.
This list contains all the Racing Motorcycles that Yamaha fielded officially, the "secret" factory prototypes are not included. For your convenience, the productionracers are wedged-in beteen, so you have it all handy I hope.
