Triple Cylinder Engine
The R9 is powered by an 890cc inline triple-cylinder engine derived from the MT-09 platform, offering a strong blend of torque and top-end power.
Full Fairing Sportbike
Unlike the naked MT-09, the R9 wraps the triple in aggressive full fairing bodywork inspired by the YZF-R1 superbike design language.
Advanced Electronics Package
The R9 features multiple riding modes, cornering ABS, traction control, and a 5-inch TFT color display with smartphone connectivity.

"The sportbike sweet spot that R6 fans actually wanted sooner."
$9,500-$12,500 usedThe R9 sits in an interesting spot — Yamaha finally gave the middleweight sportbike crowd a genuinely modern platform after years of R7 compromise. That 890cc triple borrowed from the MT-09 makes serious torque low down, which honestly makes it more usable day-to-day than the old R6 ever was. Used examples are starting to trickle through now, and they're worth serious attention if you want supersport looks without the track-day-only practicality penalty. That said, go in with eyes open. The quickshifter can be clunky at slow speeds and early software versions had some fueling hiccups around 4,000rpm — check for dealer updates on any used example. The riding position is aggressive enough that commuting fatigue is real. Bodywork is expensive to replace if a previous owner had a tip-over, so inspect those fairing lowers carefully. If the service history checks out and it's had the firmware updates, this is arguably the best all-round sportbike buy in the segment right now.
