Now Triumph should bring "Daytona 975" to have a strong competition against R9.
A new 765 supersport would be enough
They do have a 888cc engine in the Tigers. I wonder if they would use that
@@terryb8310the 765 rs already has more power?
The 765 already makes 10 more bhp and weighs less
Yep bring back the 765
I don't love the winglets, but apart from the styling, this is exactly what an R9 should be: the CP3 engine, but finally in a completely unconpromised supersport chassis with supersport-class brakes and suspension. People complaining about the power have either never ridden the CP3 or are simply too focused on numbers. It has the same power as the R6, which it is intended to replace. Plus a boatload more torque. I have no idea what people are complaining about. Trust me, unless you're literally a professional racer, this engine is capable of more than you are.
And for those complaining about the price, it's $2000 more than a base MT09. For that you get an entirely new chassis, much better suspension, stylema calipers, 320mm discs, steel lines, switchable ABS, a bunch more electronics and oh yeah, full fairings. Again, I have no idea what y'all are complaining about.
Absolutely. I ride an MT-09 SP every day. I love it. I'm a pretty good rider (35 years on bikes), but the bike is better than I'll ever be. In a real race chassis, the CP3 will be a beast of a bike.
Looks uglyy af....r6 2010-2011 was mind-blowing...this is plain ass ugly
I think it's the fact that people expected this to be a true 600cc supersport replacement when it is another middleweight everyday sportsbike.
@@gsm_liv8980 how is it not a true 600 replacement? It's got chassis and suspension on at least the same level, it's got the same level of power, it's in the same weight class and priced competitively. What else were you expecting?
Well said. People have been moaning about there not being an R9 for ages, and stating that's what they'd buy. Now there is going to be an R9 they all suddenly want the dead supersport class bike again... Personally I might test ride one of these when out. I'm very interested XD
I thought they would try to squeeze a bit more power out of this. I'll just keep my XSR 900
Yep, its literally underpowered and overpriced. I'd rather go for a ZX-6R (636).
@@oceyhoI’ll take it any day over a ZX-6R. I want that CP3 torque! It will have more power anywhere in the rev range but at the very top.
@@oceyho😂
More peak power is not needed at all. Improving your skills is more important. The average rider cannot use the full potential of his or her bike.
On top, torque is much more important than peak power. Don't be spec sheet lovers.
From yamaha's website, "Yamaha's legendary 890cc DOHC liquid-cooled CP3 engine receives unique ECU tune and optimized gear ratio to provide track-worthy Supersport performance". I don't see any specific numbers though
OUTSTANDING!!!! The week after I bought my MT-09 2015 model, I said to mates of mine that Yamaha need to make this into a street/race bike! Its only taken 9 years!! LOVE IT!!! Well done Yamaha, well done. Now Yamaha, we need a Tenere 900!!!
Honestly imo CBR600RR and ZX6R are nicer looking
And much cheaper too.
new cbr600rr and r6 are the best looking
@@markoarkaina8656 They're literally the same price.... every 600 is $12k. Literally the only thing you might need to upgrade on this bike is Suspension like any bike if you ride hard or heavier rider. This bike also has more features.
But Honda won't sell the new CBR600RR in America and the ZX6R does not have anywhere near the same tech package the R9 comes with.
As a Honda hater, I say the Honda still looking classy but the ZX-6R (and most Kawasakis for that matter) look like the abortion of a one night stand between a Deceptacon and a Praying Mantis !
Saw a dude on instagram complaining about the sound of the CP3, just shows you can never please everyone, even an engine that sounds and is absolute mega will have people that dislike it
Its amazing how many people only race their bikes and dont ride them on the road given the comments on this bike🤔
For about half of them, the thing they ride most is their keyboards. They all whine about wanting "a real supersport" but only a few will actually buy a new one. "Real" supersports only still exist for racing homologation.
if you want to ride fast, track is the way, took me years to figure this out
if you want to test your "stayin' alive" skills, ride on the road, it's no shit one of the most dangerous places i've spent time in and i've skydived, joined the army (infantry), attended anti-islamist talks just to start
@@RobertJones-pm3zk no I think people are just sick of manufacturers touting new models but it’s literally just an mt09 with fairings and clip ons.
If you want to ride on the road just buy mt09. In 99% scenarios it will be a better option. If you want to race (even on street) buy r1, r9 is just mt09 with fairings.
Gotta have 180 hp and i4 or your just not a wannabe moto gp legend
It blows my minds how much flack this bike is catching. I truly cannot understand how many “enthusiasts” can find any little reason not to like this bike. Eveyone has an opinion but as someone that started on a grom and ninja 400, this is an amazing sport bike. The 900cc triple is tried and true and the fully adjustable suspension, sweep of electronics, and new frame should all make this an amazing sport bike. This bike quite literally looks just an r1. It’s splitting hairs
It’s only the people that know what inline-4 supersports/superbikes are. Or should I say were.
No one would care if they weren’t axing the R6 and R1. If the R7 and R9 just got added to the lineup, there would be no real issue from any side. I ride and loved the R7, but it’s a sporty street bike, not a race bike (meaning an old R6 would absolutely destroy it, not that no one could enter it in any race).
Disappointed by the looks. They really need to bin that exhaust design.
Wondering why it didn't get the keyless from the MT09SP?!
Exactly, this bike is underwhelming
Or they are waiting to see how well this sells and release an R9 SP next year.
@@zudosmgthere will most definitely be an SP down the line, if the MT09 and even XSR900 have it, R9 SP is guaranteed
@@zudosmg that may be true but unless Yamaha tunes the motor to be more super sport oriented this is just an mt09 with fairings. The cp3 is a great motor but any Zx6R or cbr600rr around will leave it behind.
@@BrassGoblin03The CP3 makes more power everywhere but up top. Plus those super sports make no torque. You could be lazy with the shifts and still keeping up. Only on a straight, that’s long enough will you notice that extra power up top.
Now, Yamaha need to put their CP4 engine in a Tracer. Damn who would not want that engine's smoothness and sound on a sport touring bike.
A decent looking MT 10 would be a great start
The damn thing would need a 7 gallon tank to have appreciable range. Damn thirsty engine.
Been waiting for that myself. I'd also like a semi-faired street/sport bike like a Tuono.
I want them to bring back the FZ1 with a CP4, screw the fugly Tracers 🤣
SO COOL
Nice one Bob. Thank you. This is arguably the most anticipated bike in any category, period!
Holy moly that exhaust looks like it weighs 42lbs. However, I am excited for the possibilities for success that this will bring. MotoAmerica, here it comes!
The MT09 already competes in the Hooligan class and got destroyed by the Indian FTR's and Harley Pan America's all season.
Aftermarket exhausts drop about 8 pounds. The factory systems are getting pretty light these days. Unless Graves decides to crank out a titanium system.
@@birddogz545 Likely it'll be playing in the Supersport class. I don't see a full fairing R9 being allowed in Super Hooligans. As far as the MT-09SP not doing well, you need a class of rider that can exploit it better and you need a team who can set it up properly. It's a relatively new entry and it has the power-to-weight chops to hang, but the riders have been crashing and they don't start very well in the grid. I don't really blame the machine very much in this case.
Ya Americans. Where only size and horsepower counts. Have you guys built any reliable thing in your lives. @@birddogz545
Whenever people talk about the r6 why do they act like the fact that you had to rev that bike to get the most out of it was a burden. That's literally the fun part of the bike, what makes it unique, and why it so sought after. I get it its hard to make a bike that behaves at an extreme also meet all these lame emission requirements. But don't get it twisted, it is not a burden and rather a visceral experience that never gets boring. So glad I can own an R6 and I hope to make it last as long as possible, never a day goes by where I am bored or unamused by this bike and I ride it daily. No this bike will not replace the r6, literally no Yamaha will replace it unless they drop a new line that will also rev to 17k rpms
Don’t let go. I’m clinging to this bike like never before.😂
Another thing to point out is the R9 final drive has been geared down to 41 from 43 in the MT09 to give it a bit more top speed. It’ll probably be quite comparable to most 600’s top speed wise. It’s also going to accelerate a hair quicker due to more torque everywhere vs a 600… I’d be curious to see a last gen road legal R6 go head to head with this in some acceleration tests…
It will probably be quicker assuming it can get the power to the ground. The R6 is absolutely gutless until way higher in the rev range. Fine on the track but crap on the road. The R9 will be a much better all-rounder for sure.
@@ApexRadius than an r6 or other 600 class bikes maybe. But that’s sad because it’s an 890cc displacement motor. The zx10 is a 998cc and makes like 70% more power than the Yamaha. I mean it’s just an mt09 with fairings and clip ons.
@@ApexRadius someone with some real world sense, thank god 👍
@@ApexRadius Not sure bout better all rounder. It's a 3cyl engine after all. That configuration will leave your wrists crying in pain with the vibrations it'll produce. Especially in traffic/slow speed. It'll also only get worse as you speed up. The MT09 has that same issues but the seating and handlebar position is way comfier. 4cyl are "slow" until they hit their powerband up top but they are smooth to ride at any speed.
@@BrassGoblin03 displacement is increasing for given classes because of emission liimts. R9 is the new R6. Comparing to oldschool liter bikes is meaningless
Just to bad they cancelled R1 and R6, I don't think this is true replacement for R6.
Great video
Not sure if the looks are good or not...
I really wish those winglets were optional... Or just removable at least...🤔
Love it or Hate it design !!! But I love it btw.
winglets are cancer
all winglets are replaceable. hence removable. the void left will no doubt have a part to fit or maybe not needed. With the winglets on though you’ll see a .011 lap time improvement so Yamaha says you need them.
Nobody cares about 0.011 seconds on the road...
I would say those winglets are a totally pointless thing ever copied from MotoGP...
@@viasevenvai they dont Look removable. It seems like they are integral part of front fairing.
Use the same engines in different models: 👍
Engines tunned equally 👎
Great video
You missed the White and red color variant :D I was waiting for this bike, that's why I didn't buy the R7 but now that it's unveiled....I think I'll go for some other with better looks
The white and red is not available in Europe. Only US (and someone reckons Australia are getting it aswell)
Can confirm white/red is available in New Zealand too alongside blue & black.
@@LeoBaquero Looks like it's just Europe not getting the white and red for some reason 🤷♂️
@@amococ2487 We have white and red R1's and R7's in Europe tho. Weird that this won't get it then...
A GSXR 750 will walk this thing.
I hope they make a comparison between the R9 vs the XSR900 GP on track
I'm very glad i didn't wait for this bike come and got my s1000r.
Weird flex, it's not like your didn't know they were using the cp3, it was never going to have literbike power, Idk anyone cross-shopping this or the 990rc with an s1000 or even a gsxs1000. Different classes
Man this is going to be a sexy ass bike, I've always wanted a triple in a sports bike form and finally were getting it (Daytona 675 has been discontinued and the new 660 isn't really a powerhouse). I wonder if this will come to india.
i'm not the fan of the wiglets in the r9 ngl, looks kinda dorky imo
Hopefully there are aftermarket fairings without them in the future.
When I see someone on the Internet badmouthing winglets on motorcycles - i know for sure that he (or she) is slow and ignorant rider. Because fast and competent riders knows how extremely important and irreplaceable winglets are for high speed stability and maneuverability of the bike - they're absolutely CRUCIAL. Winglets make bike many times more stable and maneuverable at high speeds. But slow and ignorant riders doesn't know that because they don't ride fast enough to feel that. Oh, well...
@@Rex_Payne It's more of an aesthetic thing. I am not a fan of how they look.
@@needler117, see, that's exactly what I'm talking about: you don't even realise that winglets are NOT an aesthetic thing of fashion. They are purely engineering device created specifically to improve motorcycle's handling. And they do precisely that, and very effectively.
@@Rex_Payne No I get that, I am saying I don't like how they look plain and simple.
So I should keep my Zx6R... Got it!
I love how everyone on here crying about you don't need 150+ whatever hp for the street while driving cars with power that will easily get your license taken from you. Just because you don't need doesn't mean you don't want. I want a gsxr1000r. I don't need it.
Amen.
Interesting why Yamaha can only get 119 hp from their 900cc triple when MV Agusta can get 147 hp from their 800cc triple. With the same weight as my Superveloce
They just pushing the motor much harder, much stronger engines components. Their a reason the MV costs way more.
They don't want to lose the T in MT. You have to rev the MV to about 10k rpm before it starts making more power than the cp3. Below that and in the real world the mt is more powerful.
"They can only get"
Because they have decided to. Not because it's limited.
The aftermarket racing development has pushed the CP2 to north of 100 horsepower. Because they decided to.
Because it's Yamaha, a mass producer. They never set a different production line for an engine with different camshafts/crank/pistons/valves etc.. Instead they build the same engine and swap it in different bikes.
Wow, 24 teeth and Moto blob right on time with R9 news.
44 lol
Same weight as a cbr1000rr blade 😂
Price competes with a Zx6R. I love the CP3 but the zx6 will walk it everytime
Yeah, but you also have to deal with zero grunt until like 9k rpm, which is annoying on the road.
@@ewganhoff it’s all gear selection my guy. It’s really not an issue.
@@ewganhoffbuying sportbike for everyday use is not only annoing on the road but also not the smartest decision.
@@paweleq19 sounds like a skill issue problem
@BrassGoblin03 you are wrong with my XSR 900 22+ I walk 600 sport bikes not even funny and R9 has better aero dynamics than XSR so who will be in dust is zx6r. Power almost the same ZX6r has a bit more power and R9 is a bit lighter and more aero dynamic by the looks of it. However ZX6r 50 lb-ft vs R9 almost 70 lb-ft so before you open your mouth make sure to get your numbers straight
Had a test ride of the MT09 while owning MT07. For a new guy like me the performance should be more than okay and the low rev power make it usable on road as well. Seem to be a good option. I just wish winglets were optional or removable.
I wish it had a bit more relaxed riding position
.like the CBR650R...so that more people can daily it, or they could have made one R version and a Non R version for the Road.
Not just that, a lot of sport bikes had less extreme riding positions yet were monsters on the track. Even ducati started relaxing their riding positions on the newer bikes. A lot of race bikes tend to be modified for rider comfort too, if you're comfortable (to a point) you'll be able to hustle the bike better
Do you think this bike will be available as an A2 variant? Considering there is an A2 variant for the MT-09 and they both have the same engine.
People who love the triple sound will love this, I currently own a MT09 SP 23” but considering trading it in for this or maybe just getting the new R1 2025
It is very good in terms of maintenance/economy because the euro regulation is met and the engine is unified, so it is very unfortunate that if you look at the output, you will only see the partial aspects. Yangsan can't satisfy everyone. We look forward to an improvement a few years after its release. It is true that the design is disappointing. Maybe, R7 is a better option
So many keyboard ‘experts’ on here. Fact is its going to be a massive seller 😁👌
Just like all underpowered, cheaped out yamaha releases of last years. Only attractive thing in that bike is price, nothing else.
The gap between the engine and frame? Could get a weeks shopping in there! Fairing looks unfinished, needs to be lower and covering up the exhaust and level. Rear disc looks like the hub of an angle grinder. It's like they gave up at the 80% design mark. Of course it will ride and handle superbly and no one can question how good the CP3 engine.
“Both the for-KK and sho-KK”
Accentuation to the max!
lol 😂
Great review. This was the first I've heard of the R9 even though I thought they should make one. However, I figured they would make the ergos more for street riding, like a faired MT-09, the same Suzuki did the GSX 8S/8R. Us elderly sport bike riders may have trouble with it. I'll stick with my 8R which is the best bike I've ever owned, and that's many. Thanks.
CP3 is a great motor but will never be a super sport inline 4
It’s a better motor. :P
@@HifeMan maybe at low speeds on in town driving. Anywhere else the inline 4 is superior hands down
@@BrassGoblin03 That inline 4 has no power anywhere but up top. The CP3 will be superior with everything on the streets. No need to down shift 3 gears just to get some passing power. lol
@@HifeMan are you telling me inline 4s don’t have passing power in 2nd gear?
@@HifeMan so are you telling me inline 4s don’t have passing power in 2nd gear? Have you ever ridden one?
Hell yeah... Fricking finally Yamaha🎉🎉
Good review. The R9 will be a track weapon with an exhaust and tune. People moaning that it's not an R6 should just go and buy a used one. Or if they want more power buy a second hand R1.
yamaha has never really done anything that stands out, especially as far as body design is concerned, but this new r9 looks quite nice. im happy they went out a little bit and took a risk with the winglets. (i like winglets)
So the R1 does not look unique and good?
You might change your mind after you drop the bike. They're completely impractical for the streets and just an extra cost for fashion.
£12250?! That's the equivalent of $16k usd. In the US it's $12499 which is the equivalent of £9564
Only thing I can think is the Euro spec version is supposed to be slightly different due to emission regulations but I don’t think that warrants such a high increase in price
UK prices include all taxes, I believe. MSRPs are usually around 1:1, that's nothing new.
We get mugged off in the UK.
Taxes and fees to be added on the US price. UK price is the price you pay
yeah in US they end up paying a bunch of dealer fees. Will come down to a similar amount probably
Bob please cover Yamaha 2025 R3 launch
I think it meets all the specifications it's supposed to. I too was hoping they'd create a second specification for this CP3...one that is proprietary to the R9 with like another 10 hp.
BUT... if this bike falls into a MotoAmerica racing category or some common racing club, what that will mean is there will be racing development for this powertrain just like there's been racing development for the R7, GSX-8R, RS660 and the like. I know this CP3 can take the power, people were turbocharging the 847cc version without problems.
Anyway, doubt I'll be buying the R9, more interested in a XSR900 if they migrate the updates from the '24 MT.
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..
Super nice !
unique chassis,NC29 - M1000RR - yzf R9
With it sharing similar characteristics as the other 900s in the range, personally I’d lean towards the xsr900gp if they released it this side of the Atlantic over the r9. It just doesn’t seem like it did enough to stand out
I wish more bikes would come with the underbelly exhaust as the R9
The unicorn has landed! I’m a bit underwhelmed tbh.
as someone who owns an R1, i’ll take it.
Yamaha: Announces R9.
Me: Shut up Yamaha and take my money 💵💰💳💸
I think it looks awesome and a given the handling will be great surly they could've given it a higher tune 140ish would've been perfect
0:50 12th thing you need to know: What’s the replacement cost of the part of the fairing with that “wing”, for when you break it off? 0:59
I'm sure that's the primary reason why manufactures have been introducing winglets to their production bikes. Just another part to sell during any drop.
@@ThermicLightso, get better at handling your bike
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. If they placed dual headlights below like on the R1, it would have been much better.
Rob, do you think Yamaha will ever put the CP3 in a new super tenere?
swap the horrible exhaust for something more traditional styled exhaust and it's pretty perfect for what it is.
I’m all for innovation and improvements over time. That’s the only way we can get better. However with that said, it’s still a sad day seeing another knife in the 4 cylinder 600/1000cc era. Especially the bikes pre ABS, traction control, electronic throttles, lcd/tft displays, etc. Wish we could still get fresh bikes without all the fancy stuff. Guess it’s just a bitter sweet time for bikes for me.
I tried my dads tracer and that engine pulls. It keeps pulling where my SV650 starts to go easy.
It jumps off like a light twin and keeps pulling where a twin would go real anemic at high rpn
Aprilia RS 760 needs to happen now.
Yamaha fans: 🤮
People with money: 😍
The Z900se is in the same class minus the fairings. It's cheaper, better looking(imo) and will gap it any day of the week. Just add a quick shifter for $300.
Give me a Daytona 1200 Triple !
A modernized version of the 1993 model and give it 1993 ergos too, I don't want a torture rack on wheels.
OEM's need to start looking a little in their past when trying to move to the future and think about what products and options took them to where they are today.
The motorcycle world needs to fight against these emission rules. That exhaust is not only ugly, the metal is ugly.
Yes we should. Probably 90+ % of the “save-the-planet” stuff is pure propaganda, both the imagined problems and the nonsense (but draconian and expensive) solutions.
If Triumph dont follow this exciting development some dedicated Triumph fanboys are going to move elsewhere. For me as a road bike this level of power, torque, weight and trick looks (excluding that exhaust) plus price make it an extremely interesting proposition - well done Yamaha.
Can I fit a set of bars from the MT-09 ?
XSR still has the cool factor.
Design: I understand the idea of integrating the winglets, referencing MotoGP. Yet, it seems they detract from the sleek, streamlined design of yore. Yamaha's previous designs, to me, always embodied razor-sharp aerodynamics slicing through the air, paired with a nearly skeletal frame for ultimate lightness and nimbleness.
Performance: The aerodynamic function of the winglets likely doesn't apply until after achieving higher than highway speeds (like most aero on vehicles), but I understand the functional inspiration from MotoGP. The CP3 is seemingly identical to the XSR and MT09, which is a bit underwhelming considering the primary purpose of this platform.
Features: They're the same as the MT-09 and XSR which is not that surprising. Maybe a few features that apply specifically to the track, but again, I imagine *most* riders would not extract full potential anywhere else.
Overall: I was excited for this announcement even though I don't see myself getting back in this genre. But my feelings are quite dampened after this report. I liken this bike to being that bridge between road compliance and track aggression, attempting to achieve a balance. However, that balance comes off as a compromise of both. But in the end, I think it comes down to each rider's goals.
Nice little bike. A tad heavy and a tad expensive. I'd wait for the new V4 R1 MotoGP derivative coming soon. (hopefully) I like the integrated winglets. Bike looks good in black.
My thoughts on winglets are: exactly zero people outside of professional racers and extremely high level amateur racers will ever notice a difference, so why bother when winglet’s are often at a detriment to aesthetics…
I’m very happy Yamaha actually made this bike, but I think they botched the front end pretty bad. Looking at it, it feels too tall and too far forward.
Maybe they’ll change it for the future. After the r3 was kinda ugly, and now it’s arguably the sleekest looking beginner bike on the market,
Does it have RAM Air System..?? or is it like R7, at the back of engine, under the seat.
They are calling it a "duct" so I would say yes, central air intake.
@@exothermal.sprocket where bro, on the website..?? give the link, thanks
Longer gearing but no increased rev range ... go figure what this will feel like.
seems like it will be quite heavy though
It's only 2kg more than an MT09 due to the new frame
Quite mid, I'll stay with my Street Triple RS
I'm sure the aero works great, but I'm not sold on the looks of the winglets.
A little bit more exciting yeah more radical colour schemes like the Anniversary R1 & then it would be absolutely perfect!!👌🏻👍🏻 So fingers crossed & i will be ordering one but not with these colour choices!!😬😔
3.6 gallon fuel load is sort of pathetic when you are only getting mid 30 mpg at spirited pace....LOTS of fuel stops! More probaby even than the gas guzzling R1 and MT-10! My MT-10 4.5 gallon tank has fuel light popping on before 100miles Basically refilling every time I take a loop into the hills
Did I see redline at 10.5k????🤨
As usual the comments section full of disappointments 😂 don’t know what these ppl are upto. I’m getting the R9. It’s everything I wanted it to be 😎
900 cc 119 hp weak as piss. 1000 cc bikes making 200 hp and 765 cc making 128 hp. The R6 was better.
The R6 was 100 miles better, but thank the politicians and activists for killing it.
Ahh! So they DID give it R6 forks! Big duhh move IMHO which BTW tube wise are identical to R1 and MT-10 though the R6 for instance used a more flexible triple tree for the same 43mm tubes ....not saying Yamaha didnt use a different length tube or different shim stack etc but you can tell by the caps they are basically the same forks....which is good! Better than the more flimsy MT-09 41mm forks with single pinch bolt and skimpy front axle
Will be a R9M or R9SP with Ohlin full electronic suspension & a brushed aluminium swing arm? Also needs to lighter, removing that ugly exhaust will help with that I suppose.
Then we need an R9SP HD Speciale Bayliss version, to be like Ducati.
Bring the r1 back!!😢
This is what I'll save my money for it seems
Apparently the 2026 version is 62% exhaust 2:00
Yep,.....100hp & 100ftlb of torque, 385lbs For us "Mericans" is a magical recipe for a great asphalt-eater! Wait,.....I think we should be able to extract more power from this engine 40hp?....Not unheard of right?....Imagine that...
He said it weighs 430lbs though.
I JUST WANT MY R6 BACK THATS ALL THEY NEED TO BRING THE R6 BACK
Around 130 to 140 bhp would have been the perfect sweet spot.
How many are they going to sell, given the current market trends? Why don't they prioritize a Tenere 900?
Yamaha: take the Tracer, give it long and good suspensions, make it rugged and lighter (sub 200kg kerb) for off-road, and sell them like hot cakes!
R3=R9😮
you forgot the white color with red. 3 options 📝🤘🏼
Only black and blue options for Europe. US gets the red and white aswell
Wanted 2025 T7 news
It’s just not good enough, especially since this is replacing the R1/R6 in Europe.
at least give it a little more top end powerrrrr damn
Everyone complaining about this bike, what were you expecting them to do? Everyone has been asking them to put the cp3 in a sportbike. Now they do that, and it's not good enough? No one says the mt09 is underpowered, so why would they have given this more peak power while sacrificing low and midrange?
About fucking time, I'm buying this as my daily sport bike and turn my ZX4 into track bike
you can buy the 2025 r1 in australia
How much?
Wish they offered a bit more power and revved a little higher. Not sure its worth trading my xsr900 for one
If you want a sport bike that gives you a back ache, you should 😂
Otherwise why would you?
Really boring colours. Bike looks skinny and just a bit meh
