Yamaha Europe released an approximately 10-second teaser video on its official channel, showing a cutaway view of the engine for the first time. It also announced that the new 2-stroke will be unveiled via livestream before EICMA opens in Milan on 2 November.
On 30 October 2026, Yamaha Europe released a teaser video on YouTube titled “BUILT TO SPARK EXCITEMENT,” previewing the announcement of a new 2-stroke alongside a 3-day countdown. The video shows an ECG-style line and a cutaway view of the engine, revealing the internal structure, including the piston, for the first time.
The movement of the cutaway view appears to show the piston igniting with each reciprocation, leading to speculation that it depicts the operation of a 2-stroke engine. The description displays the number of days remaining, including “3 days left,” and ends with the announcement date, 02.11.26, and the words “STAY TUNED.”
Around the same time, Kawasaki announced the new FI-equipped 2-strokes “KX327” and “KX327X,” which have already been unveiled at EICMA 2026. Yamaha, meanwhile, continues its 2-stroke technology, mainly in the YZ series, and attention is focused on when the new model will be announced.
The announcement has been scheduled to begin at 2:45 am Japan time on 3 November, with a livestream planned to coincide with the opening of the Milan show. Market attention is focused on the teaser timed ahead of the Milan event and the release of information on the new 2-stroke production model.
