Lol right in my time
Honda was the leader in 4 stroke cylinder mltiplication which they developed in road racing
yamahas heritage was in small 2 stroke twins
YAmaha did have the 650 twin ( TX/XS series.. i had 3 of them) but they were Magura 650 clones which was the clones of the A7 BSA. They later developed the TX twins 500 and 750 which were their own design with counter balancers, but then went the triple route with the xs 750/850 then a big 1100 4 with the xs 1100
Yamaha did make an Seca 650/750 4 cylinders now that I think about it, but its hard to say Yamaha specialized in twins and Honda in 1-4's. During the mid 70s to mid 80s all the mfgs were producing motorcycles of all configurations at a crazy rate
