That would confirm Yamaha's strategy to its competition who would take various steps to pre-empt the launch like price reduction, new model (sticker change) announcements, new gimmicks added to existing bike lineup, maybe even a new bike announcement, etc.
FWIW, I am sure Atlas already has a keen eye on all news coming from the Yamaha factory, internal or external. Do you think Atlas won't react before April/May anyway?
