2025 Yamaha R9 - Is it a worthy replacement for the R6?

[@Don380s]

its better than the r6 in everyway but the looks

[@replynotificationsdisabled]

then why is the r6 still for sale for track use only? okay then, rode from bragg to alabama on a nearly bi weekly basis, 9-10 hours nearly of straight riding... this is for phaggets without any bawls.

[@kevinirvine8038]

Those front wings total ugly

[@nosferatu7611]

Those centre headlights are ugly too

[@YZFR1000]

Spoken like an iPad baby.

[@kwicksandz]

The cyclops light takes some getting used to

[@HeldIntegral]

I think it's better. I hate when only one headlight illuminates. It looks broken

[@motojc]

it's less offensive than the R7 now. lol

[@BillyEmrich]

Bring the RZF inline 4 R6 back !

[@korinostream]

YZF?

[@enderzebak2863]

for what? people didnt buy r6 when the last of its production models were released, thousands of them was sitting in showroom collecting dust, did you buy it then? i dont know whats your wierd ass reason to bring it back

[@jadethompson5269]

Looking forward to on track comparisons next year. Let’s see lap times.

[@n300zx931]

R6 is definitely cooler with is small displacement 4 cyl engine and sky high redline with true super sport ergonomics, but of course the R9 is a better street bike. Definitely better suited for 90% of riders.

[@KrypteiaXi]

Neither is a good street bike.

[@DudeVerse]

Every yamaha user ever: ThAtS NoT a PrOpEr RePlAcEmEnT FoR ThE R6

[@vojdanzaprov4643]

GSX-R 750 says hello 😂

[@kevingray426]

And then it says goodbye!!!! I have an 07R6.... this bike is most likely not a worthy replacement.... 750 way better

[@Ripfire777]

Gsxr 750 is fugly tho 😂

[@kevingray426]

@Ripfire777 oh come on it is not.... on that note the R6 looks like a God damn wasp

[@agenthunk3491]

750 good engine but it's uglier than r9

[@motojc]

if only they refresh the 750. I have been waiting for 10 years. the current one is ugly.

[@JoeStanek-vu7rl]

Gawd people it's not replacing the R6, its replacing the R1.

[@nosferatu7611]

Misinformation, no its not replacing the r1

[@TalonTSI95]

R6 116hp R9 117hp R1 198hp It replaces the R6.

[@PRASHGAMING4u]

It can't 🤡 that was a rumor

[@JoeStanek-vu7rl]

@@nosferatu7611 pollution regulations are getting stricter, motorcycles will get slower, lie to yourself all you want but the R1's days are numbered the R7 replaced the R6, the R9 is replacing the R1.

[@JoeStanek-vu7rl]

@@TalonTSI95 bro read the freaking news... ALL 4 cylinder motorcycles will be gone by 2030... 2026 will more than likely be the last year of the R1, the governments do not care what a few thousand R1 fan boys think... the R7 replaced the R6, the R9 is replacing the R1.

[@pauldejohn8710]

No! We need the R6 and R1. Not new water down bikes. Stop trying to get me excited over 120hp

[@All_star94yt]

Lebih bagus hal tampilan di R6 dan kelihatan lebih tanpan 🥵🥵 R9 lumayan tampan , kekurangan rangka dan mesin kelihatan berlubang di bagian tengah . Walau tak sempurna seperti r6 saya tetap mendoakan yang terbaik

[@GreggsonWong]

The motor, definitely has more torque. For low end grunt.

[@pierrekronbert6741]

Its looks cheap. No engine, but lots of extra functions. Just to foul people to buy it. R6 is good looking bike and well known ride quality. 🎉🎉

[@cr0wnnoize808]

Don’t ware nice 🥾 with that floor exhaust system

[@nuremma2156]

R6❤🔥

[@fiftyfive5459]

just a down grade for low cost manufacturer. a lot of marketing gimmick. Indonesian engineering.

[@shankararivazhagan1080]

R9 vs zx6r

[@NelsviNelsvi]

R6 Davis in Yamaha bigbike

[@DouglasStudzinskideSouza]

Prefiro a R6 pela personalidade..

[@HeldIntegral]

Personality is an aftermarket add-on. It doesn't come stock

[@agenthunk3491]

No the R7 is the replacement and r9 replaces R1

[@xxxxyyyxxxx584]

No

[@agenthunk3491]

@xxxxyyyxxxx584 R1 discontinued in Europe... in 2025 . But u can still buy it in US and I'm sure US will follow in 2026

[@DanielRodriguez-dt9rt]

⁠@@agenthunk3491the R7 isn’t even close to being a replacement for the R6. The performance isn’t even comparable. It’s the R9 “replacing” the R6. as for the R1 it’s still being sold and made in the US

[@agenthunk3491]

@DanielRodriguez-dt9rt regardless of power that shit don't matter it technically replaced the r6 no matter what you say .. and r1 is discontinued in europe.. 2025 could be the last year to purchase r1 in america due . Europe emission bullshit will follow in America

[@9610-f4c]

Just stinks of Walmart. Once the R1 is discontinued… Bye Bye Yamaha.

[@KrypteiaXi]

Good riddance to this cross-plane junk sounding crap. A supersport needs an actual sporty trad inline-4 sound.

[@edwardjavier583]

R6🤤

[@seanmichaelx]

Yo why is it ugly

[@walterbonacina3884]

Cupolino troppo in piedi 👎🏼😊

[@YZFR1000]

Garbage. Just bought my second R1 before they disappear forever.
