Would yamaha release models across multiple product lines on the same day? Everything I've seen has led me to believe the yzf r7 is what is being announced on the 18th

In an ideal world they'd host Apple style events, we'd sit through two hours of YZF and Tenere until Yoshihiro Hidaka comes out and in a thick Japanese accent says "But wait, one more thing.... one, Two, FIVE!" and from backstage zzzing zzzZZZZZIIIING.

And then the YZ’s come out on stage in the back of a new Yamaha electric El Camino with bullet proof glass. Of course there’s a new 125 and YZ300 with Tomac on board revving the shit out of it.

I would love to buy new 2022 450f that is just 10kg lighter but it seems new 2-strokes are coming this year.

Some lesser riders might have...but, I'm also thinking no way a rider like Tomac makes such a radical switch without being damn sure the bike is right.

In my dream world Yamaha would announce new 450 with Kenny powers riding in a trailer park holding a iceman 40oz screaming Merica

How the hell can a rider at that level ensure a bike "is right" in one, two, maybe a handful of tests??

Sure, he can ride it and get a feel, but he's certainly going to feel less comfortable on it than his KXF- If he's isn't, then the Kawi team are doing something wrong!

A rider would be more interested in the capabilities of the team and what can be done IF & WHEN he needs it. A 'feel' amongst the team he will be working with is equally as important.
But as for comfort on a new bike, he won't have it yet, but as long as he has confidence in the team to make it work, he will be satisfied enough to sign.

Just think when Kawi introduced the last iteration of the 450- how long did it take him to work that one out?? And that would've been a closer platform to his old KXF than the YZF is now.

Would they create a splash page for May 18 for anything but a new 450 though?

Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants of Yami returned to a steel frame? That would win the internet!

I like aluminum frames, very low maintenance and last forever. I haven't hat to replace a smashed cradle tube or paint a frame since 2008!

I see that Yamaha Australia is doing the 1% interest rate finance deal on the yz 250 as of this week.
They typically do that at this time of year to clear out remaining stock b4 the new model year bikes arrive.
However the deal is usually across the entire yz and yzf range.
Possibly only have some yz 250's left...
Asked my dealer a few weeks ago if Yamaha has any yz 125's left , he said no, but he is expecting availability in June..
That seems early for a new model to land, it says to me that the 2022 yz two strokes will be available in Australia some time in June and probably quite some time b4 the 4 strokes land.
It says to me that the 22's are most likely gonna be BNG updates.

yamaharworld.com will take you to a newsletter sign up that I guess will deliver the link, we'll see.

There is no reason to expect any YZ model release or announcement tomorrow.

Are you sure he doesn't just mean he is receiving '21 yz125's in June? I've spoken to dealers in the US expecting more of them around then.

You might be correct...but he didn't soecify...
It does seem strange though to be expecting a new shipment of 21"s this late in the model year and right at the time when they are doing the runout finance deal on the 250...who knows? Maybe thy just have very high demand for the 125 globally and decided to do another production run...that could be the reason..
I know arpund here the Yamaha's are selling big time...every weekend I see brand new ones out at the local track the two strokes generally and particularly the 125are having a noticeable resurgence in popularity around my neck of the woods..

The new YZF-R7 is being revealed on the 18th! No idea about MX bikes, but I hope it’s something good for Eli.

Either you know or are going on pure speculation....either way, the smartest thing yamaha could possibly ever do is go back to a chromoly frame on the yzf lines ....it would free up am absurd amount of room to retain their current front air intake design. The twin spar aluminum frame is just too bulky or in the way of making that engine intake design work to its full potential and yamaha would be able to make a substantially smaller less bulky bike with a chromoly frame

There has been 3 test bikes running around California for quite some time now.... Funny, no one has photographed one yet.
