R9

The launch of any new ‘R’ model has always been a game changing moment for Yamaha and the R9 is no different. While this whole next generation of Supersport marks the beginning of a new chapter, the story remains the same with the R9’s identity born from Yamaha’s racing DNA. From race-developed technology to MotoGP design cues, the R9 is a product of Yamaha’s racing at the very highest level.

A new generation of supersport

The R9 takes proven race-derived technology and combines it with the critically acclaimed, triple cylinder engine platform which has revolutionised the Yamaha brand over the last decade. The marriage of this famously high-torque powerplant and Yamaha’s renowned race-precision handling creates a perfectly balanced Supersport model worthy of its status as the R Series flagship.

Retaining many of the MotoGP-inspired design features, which have become synonymous with Yamaha’s Supersport models, the R9 represents the progression expected from a new generation, while R1-level suspension and Brembo front brakes offer the level of precision, handling and agility Yamaha’s Supersport range is renowned for.
