Yamaha Motor USA has been in charge of revealing the imminent official launch of the new Yamaha R9 2025, a motorcycle highly anticipated by fans of the Japanese firm that, if nothing prevents it, will be unveiled on October 9. It has done so by launching a teaser video of just over half a minute under the motto โA new era rising.โ
Yamaha R9 2025: First details on what we can expect
The topic of the Yamaha R9 has been generating new information for 7 years, when for the first time we confirmed that there would be a Yamaha YZF-R9 with an MT-09 soul. Years later we wondered if an R9 would arrive after the recently presented R7. Even more so after having met the Yamaha R9M by Venezia Moto, a 140 HP and 155 kg sports car based on the MT-09.
Subsequently, we assumed that it would be in 2023 when the Japanese brand would officially launch the new model. Then we wondered if it would finally arrive a year later, that is, in 2024 that we are almost finishing. Since then there have been many rumors that took the launch of the Yamaha R9 for granted. Here we leave you some of the most important articles where we have discussed the topic:
Already in 2024, the last thing we have heard on the subject is that the Yamaha R9 would arrive accompanied by a spicier variant, the R9M. In any case, it is expected that the Yamaha R9 can offer close to 120 HP of power at 10,000 rpm and 94 Nm of torque at 7,300 rpmwith a weight that is possibly 5 to 7 kilos higher than that of the MT-09, which reaches 193 kg.
Beyond all the speculations, what the teaser video itself offers us is the image of a sports car very much in line with the Yamaha models with which it shares philosophy. One of the parts that we can see most clearly is the rear swingarm, very similar to the one used by the MT-09. However, the design of the rim is different from its naked sister.
Full-LED lighting with daytime running lights or a sharp general silhouette is, for now, the only thing we can confirm about the R9 2025. So we have to wait for the brand to offer us new information about it or for an image to be leaked. of the model before being officially presented.
