YAMAHA CONFIRMED AS MOTO3 SUPPLIER

It’ s official, Yamaha will become the sole supplier to the Moto3 world championship series from 2028. It will supply the entire Moto3 grid with identical machines powered by a water-cooled 689cc engine in a full adjustable for-racing-only chassis. Following the 2028 Moto3 season, the new Yamaha machines will also be supplied to the separate Moto Junior FIM World Championship( formerly known as the FIM Moto3 Junior World Championship), but all other Junior“ feeder” classes( Asia Talent Cup, European Junior Cup and the Red Bull Rookies) will continue to use the current 250cc single cylinder KTM and Honda machines. This ends almost a year of speculation as to what the new twin cylinder platform for Moto3 would be. Initially there was talk of a 500cc twin, then later a 650cc + machine. Kiwirider ran a story on this in the November 2025 issue, speculating that whatever engine was chosen, it would have its competition roots in US Flat Track racing. < See Moto3 Reboot HERE >
