Yamaha sportbike specs
R-series supersports with crossplane literbike identity and a deep track-day following.
Seed models
Yamaha pages
Built so each model can expand with generations, trims, production notes, color histories, owner photos, and market intelligence.
YZF-R1
Current R1 data is treated as the U.S. current-year watch bike, with 2025 retained for last-year comparison.
MT-09
Yamaha's CP3 triple-powered naked — the platform under the new R9 supersport. Aggressive, torque-rich, the hyper-naked benchmark in this displacement class.
MT-07
CP2 689cc parallel-twin in Yamaha's hyper-naked styling — the platform under the YZF-R7. Light, flickable, beloved as a first big-bike pick.
Tracer 9 GT
The MT-09 triple platform wrapped in sport-touring bodywork — wind protection, hard luggage, semi-active suspension on the GT+, and the same torque rush as the naked.
YZF-R9
All-new for 2025/2026, the R9 slots in as Yamaha's CP3 triple-powered middleweight supersport — successor energy to the R6 with a torque-rich 890cc triple from the MT-09 platform.
YZF-R7
Sportbike styling and ergonomics with the MT-07's 689cc parallel-twin underneath — the accessible-but-serious entry to Yamaha's R-series.
YZF-R3
The R-series gateway: 321cc parallel-twin, full-fairing sportbike body, light enough for new riders and capable enough for track-school weekends.
