Yamaha has decided to launch a new Supersport model for 2025, unveiling it this week. It’s the brand-new R9, which now joins the Iwata manufacturer’s lineup of sportbikes.
It features an 890cc inline three-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum power of 119 hp and 93 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed synchronized gearbox.
The Deltabox frame is the lightest ever for a Yamaha Supersport, with the bike equipped with a KYB inverted front fork and a KYB rear shock absorber. The front features dual brake discs with monoblock calipers, while the rear has a single disc. The wheels are made from cast aluminum.
The design is sporty and aggressive, with MotoGP-inspired lines, including integrated aerodynamic winglets. It is available in Icon Blue and Tech Black colors.
The bike is packed with electronic aids, including ABS, a quickshifter, cruise control, speed limiter, slide control, brake control, traction control, and three riding modes (plus a customizable one).
The Yamaha R9 promises to make a mark in the Supersport segment in 2025, hitting dealerships in March 2025. For now, you can enjoy the images and get to know this model better.
