According to Polish specialist media, Moto3 will transition to a full one-make format from the 2028 season, with every entry running a single Yamaha-supplied machine. It would mark the biggest change since the class inherited the 125cc category in 2012. The new machine will use a 689cc twin-cylinder engine, aimed at containing competition costs and better preparing young riders for the next step up. It brings an end to the long-running KTM and Honda era in the class.

Going one-make, huh. Opinions will split, but from a talent-development angle, I think it makes sense. Once machine differences disappear, what decides the outcome is purely rider skill and heart. Going with a 689cc twin is a bold move too. You can feel the intent of bridging toward the class above. If it means fewer talents crushed by cost, that alone has value. I'm already looking forward to seeing which riders blossom.
