SCALABLE PRODUCTION PLATFORM He said it was an exciting project for Yamaha’ s engineers to really develop the prototype and“ we also have the target and the challenge when it is needed to be capable to ramp up production capacity. So, this is a semi-industrial project; you build the prototype with the minimum conditions for two championships( Moto3 and the Moto Junior FIM World Championship) but the vision and the ambition is to make it available for a wider range of regional championships to be able to offer an affordable Moto3 package to more riders in the world and to grow our sport to a higher level in regions like South East Asia, or Latin America … maybe relaunching
prototype racing in North America as well, and why not? And we want to be ready for this. The bike will be built in a Yamaha factory in Europe and that is something that will give us the opportunity to scale up when hopefully we have the need to do it.“ Our objective was not simply to build a motorcycle. Our objective was to create a platform capable of supporting riders, teams and championships for many years to come. A platform that combines accessibility, engineering efficiency and pure racing performance.“ This project brings together expertise from Yamaha Motor Co., Yamaha Motor Racing and Yamaha Motor Europe. It is a truly global Yamaha effort and one that reflects our long-term commitment to motorcycle racing and rider development.”
