2025 Yamaha YZF-R9 Gallery
With the R6 no longer available, Yamaha sportbike fans have been looking to fill the void between it and the R1 – and no, the R7 wasn’t it. And as far as numerical nomenclature goes in a manufacturer’s model lineup, there was a clear gap between the R7 and the R1. The obvious choice for what would fill that gap was even more obvious considering Yamaha’s own 890cc Triple was hiding in plain sight, but, until now, always clothed in MT-09 garb in various iterations. Enter the YZF-R9.
