Sort of. From the looks at this article, Yamaha is throwing everything they can think of at the EV market to see what sticks to the wall:

Oh yeah saw on electrek.  Here we go the big four are getting into the electrics now.  Hopefully the other 3 will follow.  Hopefully at the TMS they anounce a motorcycle.  I know Honda is planning on an electric dirtbike.

I get the impression that Yamaha is planning to show those EV models at the Japanese motor show to gauge the interest in the different electric vehicle concepts.  But which ones will they build and will they market them outside Japan?  ???
