Yamaha filed a trademark application for "PG-1" in Japan on June 25, 2026, which was published on July 3. An ABS-equipped version is already available in Thailand, which may hint at the model's eventual arrival in Japan. Expectations are rising for an official domestic launch that could give Honda's CT125 Hunter Cub a genuine rival.

It's rare for a bike to get me this excited even at the trademark-filing stage. The PG-1 is even standing by with ABS in Thai spec. If a domestic version comes, exactly how will they tailor it as a rival to the Hunter Cub — my imagination on the specs won't stop, and I'm confident I could keep daydreaming until morning.

They call it a good rival to the CT125, but honestly it'll probably cannibalize the Grom and Monkey too.

There's real demand for a 125 you can have a bit of trail fun on. Hope it breaks the Hunter Cub's dominance.

Is the PG-1 a Class 2 moped? Is it the same 125cc as the Hunter Cub?

A trademark filing doesn't guarantee a launch, plenty of cases end up as just a defensive filing.

Hear the Thai spec's cheap, but the domestic price is everything. The CT125's just too expensive.

So the PG-1 finally got a Japan trademark, been waiting forever for a real rival to the Hunter Cub.

So the Thai spec has an ABS option, that equipment's what's fueling the speculation about a domestic launch.
