No word on power changes is unfortunate. Would've been nice to do a bit of headwork and a cam and give it another 1-2k rpm and another 10-20hp over the highest spec current CP3. Same with the fully committed position. If the industry refuses to make AAR Alligator-style recumbent bikes, the least they could do is give us fully faired but sport touring/upright/semi-upright riding positions, sub 460lbs wet, and 115-135hp with good torque.
Exact same weight as a ZX6R. Less hp but significantly more torque with a more relaxed riding style than ZX6R. Might not make sense to you but this thing will sell like crazy. Some people want a fun sport bike with a lot of torque that wont kill your back as bad.
Looks sweet. It seems like apart from any shared parts, Yamaha's cost savings will be in the frame. "Gravity cast" suggests they're just pouring into a mold like any other cast metal. So I'm guessing that makes it less dense, less uniform, softer, but potentially lighter etc. Which I'm guessing they can get away with on a street bike if the suspension and swing arm are designed to make up for it. It'll probably only limit the bike on a track, and at that point if you're going fast enough for the frame to be an issue you just get an R1. Glad Yamaha are still putting out new products.
I don't care what the haters say. Yamaha is going to sell a boatload of these just like the R7. The price is good. The engine is a treat and it has great electronics and braking hardware. Until the RC 990 or a new Daytona comes out, Yamaha is going to be uncontested in this category.

@furychallenger5275 you're right we have enough literbikes, although we need some around the $15k range. Market this at $8-10k as a modern 600 competitor and it'll do even better.
Beautiful creation. This is absolutly what streetriders like myself needs. And the crossplane 3 cylinder will surely sound amazing. The price is very reasonable. Thank you Yamaha for this.
"Crossplane 3 cylinder"? All 3 cylinders are crossplane with the exception of some oddball motorcycles. This is the same type of three cylinder you'll find in Geo Metro's, Toyota Yaris, etc.
For what it is, "more street oriented", I think it would have been a good idea to bring the handlebars up a little. With the full-monty ergonomics, just like with the R7, I would have a hard time not just getting the R1 instead. If I am going to be uncomfortable, I want the thing to be damn fast as a pay-back.
This fad of winglets needs to stop. None of these bikes require winglets with the exception of the one percent who write them in MotoGP. Especially a bike as relatively slow and underpowered as this one. All this does is illustrate the human syndrome of ADD and needing something new into different.
@@yourwiiddealer4388 if you’re looking at it in terms of whether it needs winglets, it’s underpowered. of course it’s not underpowered otherwise as a street bike, but slapping winglets on a sub120hp bike is done 100% purely for style, and it arguably fails at that too.
Required or not. Sales are higher, so there's your answer. Nothing more, nothing less. People are intrigued with motogp culture, so it's a no brainer people will buy a bike that has semblance and DNA, if one can call it, of high performance machines. I respect your opinion regardless.
Man all that tech and style and for only 12,500 usd! I bought my 2021 mt09 for like 11k. They could have easily charged 14-15k with all the new tech and I’d still see it as a good deal👌
Everyone hated R1 when it launched in 2015 but started glazing over it later on. Its going to be same with this bike too. People are hating on it for it's looks but I'm sure it's gonna do well in WSSP and in market as well.
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..
I think its sick! Gonna be getting a R7 next summer to try out and its nice to have something a step below a r1 but not a great leap like a r7 but something thats also great for low end! Filling in the gaps is a great idea expecially for people trying to get in somehere along the chain its good to not have gaps if that makes sense
Yamaha is downgrading quite a bit to save money on R&D. Looks like just MT09 with fairings on and clipon. I wish they bring R1 back with update soon in future.
Gsxr750 is a dinosaur compared to this. It’s only faster in a straight line, no chance the 750 is faster on a circuit track. The R9 is already faster than the R6 on track according to Sportbikes Inc. magazine.
I wish instead of this new R line, it would have been the MR line or something else to display how while they aren't making race models aside from the R1, these are the in between for people who want decent bike setups but with naked bike power. The only other problem is the prices across the lineup are too high compared to the old brand new prices of the 600 and 1000 RRs. More money, less power, less performance... at least the engine on this one is a legitimately great daily street engine.
Miss the times when Yamahas looked good. The 2008 R6 still looks better than this. Also 900cc sport bike should be making around 150hp, that would be ideal.
@@ThermicLight I agree with you on that most of people riding overpowered bikes can’t handle them. That’s why we have 200hp+ bikes filled with electronics just to keep them on road.

Unfortunately sports bikes aren't as popular as they used to be. Personally the CBR650R is practically the perfect bike for me. Except Honda in my country only offer learner versions.😡😠😡😠
I own a '14 FZ-09, so I'd love to take one of these for a spin! But I don't think I could own one. I had an '09 R6 and it was killer on the back and wrists, so I can imagine this would be just as bad.
My 24 MT09 runs phenomenally well and I probably won't do an exhaust/ tune right away, it's that good. It's the best running new bike I've had in awhile.
Crybabies about it being SuperSport ergonomics too like R7-- when did everyone become such a pansy about sporty ergo's? It's not for everybody I agree and different body types and fitness levels dictate that.... but if you know how to sit on these bikes correctly and support w/core they don't hurt to ride I can ride them all day in the twisties and do long highway trips no problem. The ergo's are better for cornering/handling it's why they were designed that way and there's a fun feeling of being "locked in" in the tuck rather than being upright like a sail like say on the Street Triple or Mt09. I added higher rearsets and lower clip ons on my RS660 not finding it aggressive enough and now it's perfection. Also added Ohlin's suspension. Funnest twisty ripper bike I've ever had. Different things for diff people but if this bike doesn't appeal to you then buy the type of bike you want to ride lol
She’s gorgeous. Maybe a raised smoked windscreen and I’ll have to see if the exhaust can be lived with or recycled I’m not really into spending money just to make noise and I like it completely underslung I’d have to live with it for a bit to make that decision. Definitely a tail tidy
I'm not too convinced, the swingarm looks weak like it's from a small bike and the frame also looks questionable. More power than the naked version would also have been nice.
Doubt itll ever come to Brasil, the Mt07 sold here is the 1st gen and the 09 is the second gen. If we dont even get the new models of those, it aint looking good
Hey everyone! My one concern is that all the gas tanks for the MT-09 based brothers are the same size and a bit smaller. It would be a miracle if this new brother is the same gas tank as the R6 and R1. I would remove the fairing and love it as a streetfighter.
99% of people wont be keeping the stock exhaust anyways or at least deleting the cat, so who cares. They just have that hideous thing to meet emission standards like every other stock bike has from literally every company
I feel like many people don't like the design and the power is the same as the MT09, a similar case to the R7. but in the end many took it home even though many criticized it. Maybe I'll get a lot of ramblings, but that's the truth😅
Was looking forward to getting this but there is no way I’ll buy one with this faring. Not only has it been hit with the ugly stick, I think it’s made out of the stick.
This motorbike is very good and extraordinary, because Yamaha never gets tired of developing technology in a SuperSports motorbike, it is indeed impressive.
All I know, is I bet these things will be everywhere. Kids will trade their r7 or whatever, cause wings! And track people now have something to replace their tired or wrecked Daytona's. I just wished they had covered that hole in chassis though...
The red and white colourway is insane - reminiscent of the legendary prev gen R6.
I thought the same thing. Beautiful.
Has to be the best Yamaha colourway of all time ....

Ugly headlight we meet again
Pretty ugly IMO
The front and belly is just so disappointing
Euro emission standards really messed with things.
My 24 MT09 runs phenomenally well and I probably won't do an exhaust/ tune right away, it's that good. It's the best running new bike I've had in awhile.
Im liking this, sport bike with the same in line 3 cylinder set up as my car lol
Crybabies about it being SuperSport ergonomics too like R7-- when did everyone become such a pansy about sporty ergo's?
It's not for everybody I agree and different body types and fitness levels dictate that.... but if you know how to sit on these bikes correctly and support w/core they don't hurt to ride I can ride them all day in the twisties and do long highway trips no problem. The ergo's are better for cornering/handling it's why they were designed that way and there's a fun feeling of being "locked in" in the tuck rather than being upright like a sail like say on the Street Triple or Mt09.
I added higher rearsets and lower clip ons on my RS660 not finding it aggressive enough and now it's perfection. Also added Ohlin's suspension. Funnest twisty ripper bike I've ever had.
Different things for diff people but if this bike doesn't appeal to you then buy the type of bike you want to ride lol
You can see through the middle 🤦🏻♂️
I'll just wait for the V4 R1
Is this launching in India?
I like it... A LOT! My old back says no however.
i think this bike could have used a tad higher clip ons... would have made it a sweeter street bike, which seems to be it's primary purpose
My next upgrade
She’s gorgeous. Maybe a raised smoked windscreen and I’ll have to see if the exhaust can be lived with or recycled I’m not really into spending money just to make noise and I like it completely underslung I’d have to live with it for a bit to make that decision. Definitely a tail tidy
Front looks like a Goblin shark.....
Frame made like snow drift gravity 😮
I'm not too convinced, the swingarm looks weak like it's from a small bike and the frame also looks questionable. More power than the naked version would also have been nice.
Doubt itll ever come to Brasil, the Mt07 sold here is the 1st gen and the 09 is the second gen.
If we dont even get the new models of those, it aint looking good
Hey everyone!
My one concern is that all the gas tanks for the MT-09 based brothers are the same size and a bit smaller.
It would be a miracle if this new brother is the same gas tank as the R6 and R1.
I would remove the fairing and love it as a streetfighter.
Will we see this bike in worldssp ?
Cool. Nice bike. But it will never sound like an inline 4 revving at 14,000 rpm💯🔥
Well it’s a triple… genius
Underbelly Exhaust straight from the MT09 kills the look of this bike
Just put a full system on it
It’s a stock exhhsst who gives a shit?
99% of people wont be keeping the stock exhaust anyways or at least deleting the cat, so who cares. They just have that hideous thing to meet emission standards like every other stock bike has from literally every company
I feel like many people don't like the design and the power is the same as the MT09, a similar case to the R7. but in the end many took it home even though many criticized it. Maybe I'll get a lot of ramblings, but that's the truth😅
as if someone spat on it and then licked their own saliva😶🌫️
Because RUclips commentors are idiots maybe?
@@gibranmhdsyahyufi2899🤢🤮
Beautiful bike but ...Another word is slower than the R6 ! I still love the power the R6.
Was looking forward to getting this but there is no way I’ll buy one with this faring. Not only has it been hit with the ugly stick, I think it’s made out of the stick.
Now THAT is one I am going to have to remember, lol !
Is this supposed to replace the r1?
No. Looks more like R6 but street legal and easier for street riding.
@@morningsalute03how are you people so oblivious? 2025 is the last year for the R1... you're not getting an R12... the R9 is replacing the R1.
So same price as a 6R but probably a better street bike with more power and torque.
This motorbike is very good and extraordinary, because Yamaha never gets tired of developing technology in a SuperSports motorbike, it is indeed impressive.
Such a strange disproportionate design. R6 was more beautiful
Next bring on the MT10 R version 😉
It is true Cf Moto and Yamaha Is Already Partnership?
For reference what is your height and inseam sir? Trying to figure out if I will be on tippy toes. I am roughly 5 foot 8 with 30 inch inseam.
All I know, is I bet these things will be everywhere. Kids will trade their r7 or whatever, cause wings! And track people now have something to replace their tired or wrecked Daytona's. I just wished they had covered that hole in chassis though...
