2025 Yamaha YZF-R9 Revealed; Gets 890cc Liquid-cooled CP3 Engine

Yamaha has unveiled its latest supersport bike, the YZF-R9, featuring a sleek design, powerful engine, and advanced electronics. Positioned between the YZF-R1 and YZF-R7, it has a lightweight Deltabox aluminium frame, the lightest ever on a Yamaha supersport. The bike's suspension includes a fully adjustable KYB fork and monoshock for smooth handling, and it rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with Battlax Hypersport S22F tires for excellent grip. Braking is handled by twin 320mm front discs with Brembo Stylema callipers and a 220mm rear disc. Yamaha claims a near-perfect 50-50 weight distribution for enhanced agility and control.

Yamaha YZF-R9: Design

The YZF-R9 fits perfectly into Yamaha's R-series lineup while standing out with its own distinct style. Its aggressive front fairing, complete with integrated winglets, boosts both its looks and aerodynamics. A bold LED projector headlight, flanked by LED daytime running lights (DRLs), gives the bike an assertive front presence, while the sharp side fairing and tail section add to its overall appeal.
