Defining it as a birth is… an understatement! The new Yamaha YZF R9 is one of the most awaited bikes by Supersport enthusiasts. The Yamaha R3 was a side dish, the Yamaha R7 was instead the expectation of the enthusiasts which did not lead to what was hoped, given the coat of arms of the very old 4-cylinder of the past, of the same name, and protagonist of the SBK World Championships. Now we’re here, we have the presentation date, October 9th.
What do we know about her? Absolutely… nothing! We can try to interpret a few frames of this video published by Yamaha, but little more. Most likely the engine will be the “usual” engine base of the MT-09. The slogan is clear: the dawn of a new. What to expect? Bombastic performance and very bad chassis, with an aesthetic that echoes the entire YZF series. We await confidently!
