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.

What's the current Moto3 displacement? 689 suddenly popped up and I'm confused.

Right now it's a 250 single, so going to a 689 twin is more than double the displacement.

An end to the KTM and Honda era, huh - the power balance is shifting big time.

So the format that took over from the 125 in 2012 ends in 2028 - that's the end of an era.

A 689cc twin would completely change the character from the current 250-single Moto3.

A spec series is boring - losing that development battle really kills the appeal.

Cost restrictions honestly help young riders without factory backing.
