Yamaha Motor Canada is proud to announce the newest edition to its iconic R-series lineup, the all-new 2025 Yamaha YZF-R9. A new breed of performance street bike, the R9 is aimed at providing true Supersport-levels of performance in an accessible package that enhances the capability and confidence of riders of across a spectrum of skill levels.
Based on Yamaha’s renowned CP3 powerplant, the new 2025 YZF-R9 boasts a dedicated Supersport chassis and comprehensive electronics suite, wrapped in striking next-generation R-series styling. Alongside the exhilarating all-new R9, Yamaha is also announcing the remainder of its R-series lineup for 2025, including significant updates to the 2025 YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M, 2025 YZF-R3, and the 2025 YZF-R7, which returns unchanged.
R World is Calling
Yamaha has a rich heritage of building the most sought after Supersport motorcycles designed to deliver the pinnacle of performance on and off the track. From the rider-friendly YZF-R3 to the exclusive and track-focused YZF-R1M, the Yamaha R-series model lineup provides options for riders of all skill levels to experience the pure exhilaration of R World.
2025 YZF-R9
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—a machine as equally at home on a race circuit in the hands of a seasoned track rider as it is exploring canyon roads or urban streets in the hands of a dedicated street rider.
Powerful CP3 Engine
The heart and soul of the new R9 is its characterful 890cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder powerplant, which receives a unique ECU tune and optimized gear ratio to provide thrilling Supersport power with a more broad, torquey street-friendly engine character. A carefully tuned airbox amplifies induction sound which combines with the CP3’s distinctive crossplane triple exhaust note to provide an aural resonance which further heightens the thrill of acceleration.
Dedicated Supersport Chassis
The new R9 chassis begins with an advanced gravity-cast Deltabox frame that’s the lightest aluminum frame ever offered on a Yamaha Supersport model. The frame is extensively tuned to deliver a supple, predictable feel at lower speeds and Supersport rigidity for razor-sharp handling at track speeds. Along with a new high-spec fully adjustable KYB® suspension and nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the R9 delivers light, agile handling that inspires confidence for a wide range of riders and experience levels.
Brembo® Brakes
Premium Brembo® Stylema monoblock front brake calipers combine with a Brembo® radial master cylinder, large 320mm dual front discs, stainless steel brake lines and aggressive pad compounds to offer Supersport-level braking performance with exceptional power and feel.
Advanced Aerodynamics
The new YZF-R9 includes MotoGP®-inspired functional winglets which add downforce for a stable, planted front-end feel while keeping drag to a bare minimum. In fact, the ultra-sleek new R-series design yields the most aerodynamic Yamaha model ever offered.
Supersport Ergonomics for the Street
A dedicated Supersport riding position is optimized to achieve excellent handling and a strong sense of unity with the machine while still offering a short reach to the clip-ons, ample leg room and low seat height for more comfort in a variety of riding scenarios.
New Generation TFT Display
The YZF-R9 receives Yamaha’s latest generation full-colour five-inch TFT display providing a wide range of vehicle data. The rider can select their display preference between four separate street themes or a dedicated track theme. Display themes, vehicle data, connectivity functions and the R9’s electronic suite are navigated through Yamaha’s latest integrated handlebar switches. Button shape and feel have been extensively refined to provide intuitive operation in a compact, easy-to-use solution.
Smartphone Connectivity
Riders can link their smartphone to the new TFT display via Yamaha’s free Y-Connect app to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth® headset, not provided). Additionally, full turn-by-turn navigation is available through the Garmin® StreetCross app to make each journey easier.
Advanced Electronic Suite
An advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is based on the proven performance of the flagship YZF-R1 Superbike. Data collected from the IMU and wheel speed sensors enable a high-tech suite of rider aids including a nine-mode Traction Control System (TCS), three-mode Slide Control System (SCS), three-mode Lift Control System (LIF) and a Brake Control System (BC). Levels of intervention can be adjusted to preference and each of these systems can also be turned off providing the ultimate versatility and control in a variety weather and surface conditions.
Yamaha R-Series Style
With sharp, distinctive R-series styling including its signature M-shaped front duct and tail wing, combining with new generation design cues like angled LED position lighting and advanced aerodynamics including functional front winglets, the revolutionary new YZF-R9 is instantly recognizable as the next evolution of Yamaha’s iconic R-series.
