I think this bike will be on the track more than the R1M for the average joe. People buy an R1M and just ride them on the road for clout while we will see more R9’s on the track.

Yes, as a MT-09 owner I was always waiting for other shoe to for fully fairing model of CP3 engine. I believe this is one first bikes that came from a naked model to get the sport whereas the others are sport models first then the naked model.
Exact same weight as a ZX6R. Less hp but significantly more torque with a more relaxed riding style than ZX6R. Might not make sense to you but this thing will sell like crazy. Some people want a fun sport bike with a lot of torque that wont kill your back as bad.

No word on power changes is unfortunate. Would've been nice to do a bit of headwork and a cam and give it another 1-2k rpm and another 10-20hp over the highest spec current CP3. Same with the fully committed position. If the industry refuses to make AAR Alligator-style recumbent bikes, the least they could do is give us fully faired but sport touring/upright/semi-upright riding positions, sub 460lbs wet, and 115-135hp with good torque.
So happy this offering from Yamaha has finally arrived. With it's torque, it should be a great daily rider on the twisty roads. I loved my R7, but the extra breaking & power here will be nice.
I don't care what the haters say. Yamaha is going to sell a boatload of these just like the R7. The price is good. The engine is a treat and it has great electronics and braking hardware. Until the RC 990 or a new Daytona comes out, Yamaha is going to be uncontested in this category.

1-The engine definitely should have been at least 20hp more power. 2-The gap at the cylinder head in the middle of the bike looks really cheap. You can see through it when you look. Even the R3 doesn’t have anything like that. 3-The rear swingarm should have had a design that suits a race bike. 4-Yamaha really needs to give up on this single lens headlight fantasy they've been using in the middle.

Looks sweet. It seems like apart from any shared parts, Yamaha's cost savings will be in the frame. "Gravity cast" suggests they're just pouring into a mold like any other cast metal. So I'm guessing that makes it less dense, less uniform, softer, but potentially lighter etc. Which I'm guessing they can get away with on a street bike if the suspension and swing arm are designed to make up for it. It'll probably only limit the bike on a track, and at that point if you're going fast enough for the frame to be an issue you just get an R1. Glad Yamaha are still putting out new products.
@furychallenger5275 you're right we have enough literbikes, although we need some around the $15k range. Market this at $8-10k as a modern 600 competitor and it'll do even better.
Yamaha is downgrading quite a bit to save money on R&D. Looks like just MT09 with fairings on and clipon. I wish they bring R1 back with update soon in future.
Beautiful creation. This is absolutly what streetriders like myself needs. And the crossplane 3 cylinder will surely sound amazing. The price is very reasonable. Thank you Yamaha for this.
"Crossplane 3 cylinder"? All 3 cylinders are crossplane with the exception of some oddball motorcycles. This is the same type of three cylinder you'll find in Geo Metro's, Toyota Yaris, etc.
For what it is, "more street oriented", I think it would have been a good idea to bring the handlebars up a little. With the full-monty ergonomics, just like with the R7, I would have a hard time not just getting the R1 instead. If I am going to be uncomfortable, I want the thing to be damn fast as a pay-back.
Man all that tech and style and for only 12,500 usd! I bought my 2021 mt09 for like 11k. They could have easily charged 14-15k with all the new tech and I’d still see it as a good deal👌
Hey everyone! My one concern is that all the gas tanks for the MT-09 based brothers are the same size and a bit smaller. It would be a miracle if this new brother is the same gas tank as the R6 and R1. I would remove the fairing and love it as a streetfighter.
This fad of winglets needs to stop. None of these bikes require winglets with the exception of the one percent who write them in MotoGP. Especially a bike as relatively slow and underpowered as this one. All this does is illustrate the human syndrome of ADD and needing something new into different.
@@yourwiiddealer4388 if you’re looking at it in terms of whether it needs winglets, it’s underpowered. of course it’s not underpowered otherwise as a street bike, but slapping winglets on a sub120hp bike is done 100% purely for style, and it arguably fails at that too.
Required or not. Sales are higher, so there's your answer. Nothing more, nothing less. People are intrigued with motogp culture, so it's a no brainer people will buy a bike that has semblance and DNA, if one can call it, of high performance machines. I respect your opinion regardless.
Miss the times when Yamahas looked good. The 2008 R6 still looks better than this. Also 900cc sport bike should be making around 150hp, that would be ideal.
@@ThermicLight I agree with you on that most of people riding overpowered bikes can’t handle them. That’s why we have 200hp+ bikes filled with electronics just to keep them on road. On the other hand the R1 is getting discontinued and 119hp is not whole lot for the top off the line bike also no difference to MT09.
@@KapitanPisoar1 - Granted but honestly to me 200hp always felt like taking a bazuka against a house fly. Sure gets the job done but way overkill. Unfortunately sports bikes aren't as popular as they used to be. Personally the CBR650R is practically the perfect bike for me. Except Honda in my country only offer learner versions.😡😠😡😠
I wish instead of this new R line, it would have been the MR line or something else to display how while they aren't making race models aside from the R1, these are the in between for people who want decent bike setups but with naked bike power. The only other problem is the prices across the lineup are too high compared to the old brand new prices of the 600 and 1000 RRs. More money, less power, less performance... at least the engine on this one is a legitimately great daily street engine.
Everyone hated R1 when it launched in 2015 but started glazing over it later on. Its going to be same with this bike too. People are hating on it for it's looks but I'm sure it's gonna do well in WSSP and in market as well.
Was looking forward to getting this but there is no way I’ll buy one with this faring. Not only has it been hit with the ugly stick, I think it’s made out of the stick.
I'm not too convinced, the swingarm looks weak like it's from a small bike and the frame also looks questionable. More power than the naked version would also have been nice.
This is sad, I was expecting it to look like the r1 and r6 with the double headlamps. Now that stupid single cyclops headlight with winglets nobody will ever use. Looks like it fell out of the ugly tree over and over again. And a 3 cyl. Ugh. So let down!!!
as a yamaha true fan, i tried to make my eyes and mind positve and repeatly gently seeing, scanning every inch of this bike shape. dear yamaha, you need to hire your previos designer again..
I think its sick! Gonna be getting a R7 next summer to try out and its nice to have something a step below a r1 but not a great leap like a r7 but something thats also great for low end! Filling in the gaps is a great idea expecially for people trying to get in somehere along the chain its good to not have gaps if that makes sense
Gsxr750 is a dinosaur compared to this. It’s only faster in a straight line, no chance the 750 is faster on a circuit track. The R9 is already faster than the R6 on track according to Sportbikes Inc. magazine.
Gravity cast frame gives me an uneasy feeling. It's a fairly heavy bike coming in at 430 wet and that's with Yamaha's supposedly lightest cast frame ever. If it's for street riders ok then but I would be worried about how this frame will handle crashes. There's no way to really gauge the strength of it until people get their hands on it.
She’s gorgeous. Maybe a raised smoked windscreen and I’ll have to see if the exhaust can be lived with or recycled I’m not really into spending money just to make noise and I like it completely underslung I’d have to live with it for a bit to make that decision. Definitely a tail tidy
My 24 MT09 runs phenomenally well and I probably won't do an exhaust/ tune right away, it's that good. It's the best running new bike I've had in awhile.
All I know, is I bet these things will be everywhere. Kids will trade their r7 or whatever, cause wings! And track people now have something to replace their tired or wrecked Daytona's. I just wished they had covered that hole in chassis though...
I own a '14 FZ-09, so I'd love to take one of these for a spin! But I don't think I could own one. I had an '09 R6 and it was killer on the back and wrists, so I can imagine this would be just as bad.
99% of people wont be keeping the stock exhaust anyways or at least deleting the cat, so who cares. They just have that hideous thing to meet emission standards like every other stock bike has from literally every company
I feel like many people don't like the design and the power is the same as the MT09, a similar case to the R7. but in the end many took it home even though many criticized it. Maybe I'll get a lot of ramblings, but that's the truth😅
Doubt itll ever come to Brasil, the Mt07 sold here is the 1st gen and the 09 is the second gen. If we dont even get the new models of those, it aint looking good
I waited so many years for it to come out and I thought it would come out beautiful and different, unreal and with more horses. and with difficulty came out a potato, very bad, a machine with a lens from a booth
tbh i was a bit disappointed.. depending on the budget id go for the cfmoto 675srr or just directly to R1.. my cfmoto 450srs was really reliable and was awesome, so before uprading was waiting fo this r9.. but oh well
R9, very interesting. Still considering a 2025 R1. Price is the mitigating factor. The $10,000 difference is significant. The R9 seems like a cartoon, the R1 is a REAL bike.😢
The red and white colourway is insane - reminiscent of the legendary prev gen R6.

Was looking forward to getting this but there is no way I’ll buy one with this faring. Not only has it been hit with the ugly stick, I think it’s made out of the stick.
Now THAT is one I am going to have to remember, lol !
I'm not too convinced, the swingarm looks weak like it's from a small bike and the frame also looks questionable. More power than the naked version would also have been nice.
I like the engine, but goddamn that front end profile only a mother could love.
Well, CP 3 motor can really show full potential now in high rpm range. Bikes before with this motor where not built for top end speed.
This is sad, I was expecting it to look like the r1 and r6 with the double headlamps. Now that stupid single cyclops headlight with winglets nobody will ever use. Looks like it fell out of the ugly tree over and over again. And a 3 cyl. Ugh. So let down!!!
Dont like the round projector headlight
as a yamaha true fan, i tried to make my eyes and mind positve and repeatly gently seeing, scanning every inch of this bike shape.
dear yamaha, you need to hire your previos designer again..
Please bring the XSR900GP to the US.
Ugly headlight we meet again
I think its sick! Gonna be getting a R7 next summer to try out and its nice to have something a step below a r1 but not a great leap like a r7 but something thats also great for low end! Filling in the gaps is a great idea expecially for people trying to get in somehere along the chain its good to not have gaps if that makes sense
The wires hanging out under the screen. Bike looks put together in a basement overnight
I’d take gsxr750 over this
Gsxr750 is a dinosaur compared to this. It’s only faster in a straight line, no chance the 750 is faster on a circuit track. The R9 is already faster than the R6 on track according to Sportbikes Inc. magazine.
For reference what is your height and inseam sir? Trying to figure out if I will be on tippy toes. I am roughly 5 foot 8 with 30 inch inseam.
Such a strange disproportionate design. R6 was more beautiful
Gravity cast frame gives me an uneasy feeling. It's a fairly heavy bike coming in at 430 wet and that's with Yamaha's supposedly lightest cast frame ever. If it's for street riders ok then but I would be worried about how this frame will handle crashes. There's no way to really gauge the strength of it until people get their hands on it.
looks soo good cant wait to get one 🎉
She’s gorgeous. Maybe a raised smoked windscreen and I’ll have to see if the exhaust can be lived with or recycled I’m not really into spending money just to make noise and I like it completely underslung I’d have to live with it for a bit to make that decision. Definitely a tail tidy
I’ve been waiting on this bike since 2021 when rumors started .
Euro emission standards really messed with things.
My 24 MT09 runs phenomenally well and I probably won't do an exhaust/ tune right away, it's that good. It's the best running new bike I've had in awhile.
I prefer the old M duct shape, looks more aggressive
All I know, is I bet these things will be everywhere. Kids will trade their r7 or whatever, cause wings! And track people now have something to replace their tired or wrecked Daytona's. I just wished they had covered that hole in chassis though...
what's the wet weight?
I own a '14 FZ-09, so I'd love to take one of these for a spin! But I don't think I could own one. I had an '09 R6 and it was killer on the back and wrists, so I can imagine this would be just as bad.
You have to grip with your knees and keep your arms loose... not many online teach it, but no one should be getting sore wrists from clip ons
Now that R9 is a reality...can we please get an updated R3 .....
You can see through the middle 🤦🏻♂️
Underbelly Exhaust straight from the MT09 kills the look of this bike
Just put a full system on it
It’s a stock exhhsst who gives a shit?
99% of people wont be keeping the stock exhaust anyways or at least deleting the cat, so who cares. They just have that hideous thing to meet emission standards like every other stock bike has from literally every company
So same price as a 6R but probably a better street bike with more power and torque.
ffs yamaha just give me fairings and cbr650r ergos with that cp3 engine and you would have had all my money.
the front looks horrible, I’m not trading in my R7 for sure
This will run circles around the r7
@@henryw31 But who wants to sit on that to do it?
@@spoofer44 I will! Looks are subjective.
@@KrishnenduKes I respect that!
@@henryw31the R7 is already plenty fast enough lol anybody who disagrees is just a straight line rider honestly
i think this bike could have used a tad higher clip ons... would have made it a sweeter street bike, which seems to be it's primary purpose
Beautiful bike but ...Another word is slower than the R6 ! I still love the power the R6.
I have a 09 white and red this looks really tempting
The front and exhaust🤢🤢🤮
Its meant for u to take off like a plane. Yamaha makes planes now🤮
I mean, who keeps stock exhausts anyway? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it has the same exact exhaust as my XSR900 2023 and had it removed as soon as I got it.
@@JackMihoff6969 ain’t gonna fix the front and them jet blue wanna be wings
Name a sexy factory exhaust on a $12.5k bike
Crime not to change it as the engine sounds so good on a af pipe. But the ugley unfinished belly stove just dosnt make sense.
I feel like many people don't like the design and the power is the same as the MT09, a similar case to the R7. but in the end many took it home even though many criticized it. Maybe I'll get a lot of ramblings, but that's the truth😅
as if someone spat on it and then licked their own saliva😶🌫️
Because TH-cam commentors are idiots maybe?
@@gibranmhdsyahyufi2899🤢🤮
What’s the point of a 900cc when the R1 exists?
The price being one.
Is this launching in India?
Pretty ugly IMO
THAT LOOKS SICK!
wtf is up with the winglets, i could set down my beer on it
Doubt itll ever come to Brasil, the Mt07 sold here is the 1st gen and the 09 is the second gen.
If we dont even get the new models of those, it aint looking good
Again with the single headlight in the middle design…. Why Yamaha, why do you do this to yourself.
I waited so many years for it to come out and I thought it would come out beautiful and different, unreal and with more horses. and with difficulty came out a potato, very bad, a machine with a lens from a booth
I'm glad the R9 is like a supersport, not a cruiser sport bike
If you are not serious about sport bikes just buy an MT09
tbh i was a bit disappointed.. depending on the budget id go for the cfmoto 675srr or just directly to R1.. my cfmoto 450srs was really reliable and was awesome, so before uprading was waiting fo this r9.. but oh well
CF is a POS lol
R9, very interesting. Still considering a 2025 R1. Price is the mitigating factor. The $10,000 difference is significant. The R9 seems like a cartoon, the R1 is a REAL bike.😢
Is this supposed to replace the r1?
No. Looks more like R6 but street legal and easier for street riding.
@@morningsalute03how are you people so oblivious? 2025 is the last year for the R1... you're not getting an R12... the R9 is replacing the R1.
Oh yeah,its beautiful but the tail part look a little awkward.It should be like the R1 + inline 4....anyway 👍
