We've been teased and tormented, but the wait is over. Yamaha announced the details of the all-new addition to its street bike lineup, the YZF-R9. Of course, we've yet to see how this bike performs in real life, but based on Yamaha's description of the market it's intended to fulfill, some customers will be delighted, and others will be left wanting.
According to Yamaha, "The new 2025 YZF-R9 was conceived to redefine the Supersport class by combining track-capable performance with street bike accessibility through a broad, smooth power delivery, light handling, street-friendly ergonomics and a complete package of advanced rider aids."
