Mentioned the launch time, the presence of the RX-100 will appear after 2026. Because Yamaha already has a new motorcycle roadmap until 2025.
“We have a plan, but we must not use the RX-100 name easily it will damage the image. The RX-100 cannot be a plan or a quick decision, it has to be an impactful package with a strong engine and design,” added Chihana.
