At the age of 24, having completed his studies in motor engineering, he proposed to Yamaha a solo round-the-world journey as a field test of the company's machines. Yamaha agreed, providing a 246 cc two-stroke Yamaha YDS-3 with Autolube automatic lubrication system and arranging technical support through its worldwide importers; in return Yoshida was required to report on the motorcycle's behaviour throughout the journey. Between 1965 and 1968 he covered 136,000 km (85,000 miles) through 60 countries across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
