Per transworldmx:
Yamaha maintained its rearward-mounted cylinder, but to the naked eye, the engine looks to be mounted more upright than previous generations. An electric starter was mounted on Hirata’s machine, and the new cases have eliminated the kickstarter mount altogether, which indicate that electric start will be standard and not an option as it was for the Honda CRF450R in 2017.
Wonder how light the bike will be, while adding an electric start

Not directly overhead view but hard to tell how narrower it is.
