It rather depends on how you are counting, as there are several examples of different models sharing the same or similar identifier, and also three extra motorcycles issued as part ot the "Motor Sport World" series of dioramas. My list is:
"Realistic" models (scale approximately 1:7)
===========================
1. VMAX (1997/8) First released in about 1997, but replaced by a much improved version in late 1998.
2. YZF-R1 (1999)
3. XJR1300 (2000)
4. DSC11 (2001)
5. SR400 (2002)
6. TMAX (2003)
7. YZR-M1 (2004/5/6) First released in a blue livery, then supplemented by a "special edition" version in yellow to commemorate Yamaha's 50th anniversary in 2005. The blue version was withdrawn later that year and then replaced by a dark red one in 2006.
8. YZ450FM (2005)
9. YZF-R1 (2007) A new model of the then latest version of this machine, quite different from the 1999 version.
"Ultra-realistic" models (scale mostly 1:5.5)
===========================
10. MT-01 (2006)
11. VMAX (2009)
12. YZF-R1M (2015)
13. MT-10 (2016)
14. YA-1 (2017) Scale 1:4.
"Motor Sports World" (scale much as for "Ultra-realistic" but simpler models as part of dioramas)
================================================== =========
15. YZR-M1 (2013) In diorama of Laguna Seca racing circuit.
16. XTZ850R (2014) In "desert" diorama.
17. YZ450F (2014) In "wilderness" diorama. "Desert" and "wilderness" fit together as a single display.
Sadly, if the models have even been removed from the Wayback Machine all this is rather academic for newcomers.
