On November 25, 2023, Thai Yamaha hosted a special sneak preview event for selected motorcycle press in Thailand to test out an all-new model, both to the country and to the world. Friends, this is the Yamaha PG-1. It will make its full debut at the 2023 Thai Motor Expo, which runs from November 30 through December 12, 2023 in Nonthaburi (part of the greater Bangkok area) at the IMPACT Challenger 1-3 center.
Does the Yamaha PG-1 look an awful lot like a shot across the bow of the Honda CT125 Hunter Cub? If you're going solely by appearances, perhaps. While the CT125 Hunter Cub has found success in plenty of international markets (including the US, where dealers couldn't keep them in stock when it was first introduced), a fairer comparison would be the Cross Cub 110, which has never been sold in the US.
