2025 Yamaha R9 Video Review

2025 Yamaha R9 review YZF-R9 action
We review the 2025 Yamaha R9, the most aerodynamic model in Yamaha’s R-series and a bike designed for both track and street riding, at Sonoma Raceway.

The 2025 Yamaha R9 is based on the MT-09 but with unique settings, higher-spec components and electronics, and aerodynamic bodywork with winglets. It's powered by the MT-09's 890cc CP3 inline-Triple with a 120-degree crossplane crankshaft with a 270-degree firing order. It makes a claimed 69 lb-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm and 117 hp at 10,000 rpm. The R9's bodywork gives it the lowest coefficient of aerodynamic drag out of any Yamaha R-series model, and it comes equipped with a comprehensive, IMU-supported electronics package.





To put the R9 through its paces, we headed to Sonoma Raceway in California for a full day on the track. Yamaha reps emphasized that the R9 is aimed to strike a balance between track performance and street riding capabilities, and we agree that it offers everything you need for a fun and thrilling day on the track, as well as the comfort and easy-to-ride nature of a streetbike.
