In June 1980 Fiveways Motorcycles opened its doors to establish Hull’s first 100 percent Yamaha Motorcycle dealership. Owned by Husband and wife team Frank and Lesley Robinson the original premises were located on Askew Avenue just off the well known "Fiveways" roundabout in Hull.

Success was built on the ethos of supplying motorcycles and scooters with fantastic savings from RRP prices but with the service of a friendly family owned company. The Eighties brought fantastic success for both Yamaha and 5-WAYS with the now legendary models of FS1E, RD350LC and RD350YPVS.
