This is why Yamaha has been my favorite brand since I was first looking into bikes as a kid in the late 90's. I'm really happy to see them doing something that actually excites me personally, the last time I remember being hyped about something from Yam was their YXZ-1000 SxS (with the clutch pedal). Looking like there's a pretty good chance I'll get a R9 (if I think it's comfortable enough for the street)

[@motionsick4973]

Get it! I'm feeling it. Very usable power! I like the winglets. Bring on the MotoGP designs, it's about time

[@CycleCruza]

Looking at the bike closely, I believe you can easily remove the winglets if you ever want to.

[@upnorthvids]

Yea thats a sick bike. Yamaha really does listen to their customer base. They did a great job making changes in the side by side rigs as well.

[@davidmallia628]

If it can perform as a sport tourer, without one getting fatigued, yes it will sell across the board, not just for posers, or track guys.

[@davidmallia628]

@@xhngoh1655 yes, but I never liked the looks of Tracer. Sure, it is a great bike, but it is a crossover adventure bike, on the lines of the BMW s1000xr, not a sports tourer on the lines of the Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx.

[@corvette_jake7225]

Ill keep my zx10rr

[@JMRxYM]

Im glad you pointed out that it has the EXACT same power as the R6 but 20 more ft/lbs. People were saying this bike was mid and in my head I'm just thinking they must have never hooned on an MT09 before. I alwas said if they committed to putting that 900cc in a supersport it would be a killer middleweight for those that want a supersport but dont was to drop 18-20k on a liter bike. Once the aftermarket goes crazy with ECU flashes, this bike is going to shatter peoples expectations

[@erichewitt890]

Not to mention the fact that that horsepower number is mirrored at about 7k rpm’s sooner than the R6. And for anyone that actually wants more power out of it, extreme creations already makes a direct bolt on turbo kit for the other current productions CP3 bikes, giving it 200hp for $4k. Still cheaper than a new R1

[@neilfitzpatrick5549]

I ride my 04 GIXER every day and so love her. My core and my legs are real strong from riding her. I love my speed triple (2010 special edition) but with the triple I feel I’m riding on her while the GSXR600 I fit perfectly in her 🙏💙🙏

[@TheSmartSneakerhead]

He never disliked em. He made valid points on supersports for track. But most will still ride it on the street

[@CycleCruza]

I love all the different type of bikes but since so many badass naked bikes came out that are way more comfortable and. more bottom end grunt it became hard to justify riding a track bike on the street anymore. Also, cops often tailed me and would pull me over for bs on the supersport and super bikes. And after getting a supermoto and having so much fun I never looked at getting another super bike. Track bikes are best for the track and I need to get into track riding for sure. This new R9 has the awesome grunt with a more comfortable ergonomics for street and track, and you can easily throw on a set of handlebar risers on the R9. It just looks like a badass bike, hard to pass up this one.

[@shonith91]

@@CycleCruzar9 screams poser like no other it’s trying to be an r1 with missing exhaust😂 People bought the r1 because of the heritage and what it meant to experience a bike as close to a moto gp bike. This r9 may please the gen z with fancy display and gimmicky electronics to replicate a moto gp bike. But the fact remains its no where close to a moto gp bike. Supersports were all about the moto gp experience, like it or not, it was all about getting a road legal moto gp bike. Ducati is the only brand still making an effort to deliver on this. Japanese have dropped their balls in the race track when they left for japan after an overseas moto gp event. And here we have you, who has experienced a fire breathing fireblade first hand and now thinking of buying a wannabe r1 just because it has good bottom end torque. If bottom end is what you want get the new hornet 1000 or get a proper road legal moto gp bike, an r1.

[@Bengy22]

As someone that really wanted to see this bike come out and waited but finally broke down and bought a triumph daytona two years ago that I love I do feel Yamaha slightly missed the mark. Looks wise can't help but think it looks a bit cheap, I loved the old rumor photos biased off the r6 design. And also was hoping for some engine mods to more suit a sport bike. 10.5k redline is low, I love reving my bike out to 14.4k. And the mt09 engine was never a powerhouse for its size, F3 beats it by 30hp with 100cc's less while redlining 3k higher. It would have been a perfect time to though on a more aggressive cam, higher compression piston, intake porting, stacks and you are good for around 140 at the wheel on the older engine down 50cc's. If they had done this it would have been an easy buy for me. But I also do still really like the bike and think it will sell well, just not good enough to part from the daytona

[@JoeyGoose]

Good review! I've been on an XSR900 since 2020 and am a huge fan of the CP3 motor; it's got the power down at the speeds most of us amateurs can enjoy it at. The suspension is just not the greatest in the twisties. Rather than spending a couple grand on a complete suspension upgrade, I might just trade up to the R9 in the spring too.

[@newbierides]

You are just getting old man, I remember following in you since the CBR600RR. Way back in the day, you used to say that bike was super comfortable and all you needed for the streets haha At that time I didn't ride but always wanted to, almost bought one of those. I started ridding two years ago, bought a yeamaha bolt and sold it after 1000 miles, bought an MT07 and sold it after 1000 miles, enjoyed both of those bikes, but they were not for me. I then bought my MT09 and had it for a year now, I love this bike, except for a few things that make it a bit uncomfortable for the cold weather where I live and long distances for my bad knee. I have been looking into some smaller adventure bikes like the Tiger 900 and Transalp, seriously considering the Transalp if they add tubeless and cruise control. I would love if they made a tiger 660 rally with cruise control too. I have never had a supersport bike, but the R9 looks super tempting and I am actually considering it, even though it will be less comfortable than my MT09, but just to have that supersport experience, even if it for just a year or two. I would never throw it in the track, but I don't think that would make me a poser lol I just want to have that experience.

[@CycleCruza]

lol Back then they did not have any great naked bikes so most us rode sueprsports and superbikes on the street. I'm in the same good physical condition as I was when I started this channel but since then they have come out with so many sick naked bikes that are tuned for the street much bettter than supersports and superbikes which are more top end bikes for the track. However, this new R9 is a game changer with loads of bottom end and mid range grunt. Yeah it is not as comfortable as a MT-09 but they made it a bit more comfortable than track bikes and it will be fun to get back on a sueprsport for old times sake and something different. I always have my MT-07 and Supermoto for comfort. I really need to hit the track, the only thing I haven't done on this channel. Maybe one day I'll get into the ADV bikes but for now I feel too young for them. 😂 Btw, I'm still a hooligan on my supermoto! lol

[@newbierides]

@@CycleCruza Haha I feel you, I am 35 but the main reason I am looking into adventure bikes is not really for being old. It is more the comfort they offer for me to commute to work on cold days and on weekends when I can take a full day to ride and do longer distances. If it wasnt for the cold I love my MT09. Yea I could throw in some taller wind screen, some hand guard and heated grips on the 09, but I feel like that would just make it look stupid lol If I could have more than one bike I wouldn't think twice, the R9 would be in my garage as my daily commuter, then I would get a small adventure bike for those days I do longer rides and cold commute days.

[@CycleCruza]

@@newbierides I agree, the ADV bikes make for a great cruiser, touring and commuter bikes. I see the appeal of the ADV bikes. If I ever get into touring I would definitely get an ADV for sure. I don;' really get on the highway for very long now. I'm mostly on backroads or cruising in the city and my MT-07 and supermotos do great for that. I need to get into track and the R9 would be a great bike for that and to take on the street as well.

[@YammiePro]

[@nich0119]

Man I love everything but that damn headlight and the winglets

[@SHREDDER_92]

Yeah the winglets should be optional or detachable and the headlight has always looked bad. I'd probably remove that like and put a cover on it

[@CycleCruza]

Looking at the bike closely, I believe they made it so you can easily remove the winglets, it looks like they are bolted on. The cyclops headlight is not that bad to me, overall looks great but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@SHREDDER_92]

@CycleCruza I think of the center light as being a staple of Suzuki. It just kinda distracts the eye from the sick and very unique look of the headlights. You have the to bladed lights that look badass like squinting eyes of some beast and then there is this awkward wide open circle lamp just slapped in the middle. I think they may have added that for visibility or something because the size and shape of the bladed headlights may have been harder to see at some angles

Better then your KTM, make sure U get one with Color,, Blue looked Cool

[@pixel279]

I was excited for this bike but I hate the front end they ended up making. The wings make it look goofy, it's not a super bike. Also making it cost so similar to a GSXR750 is kind of a huge miss. Might as well get that instead since it only makes 4ft lbs of torque less and way more HP. XSR900 is such a better deal, especially a few years ago when it was $9999

[@CycleCruza]

I agree the winglets are 🧀. However, looking at the front end closely I believe they are easily removable and held on by two bolts. The Gixxer 750 only has 55.7 ft-lb torque vs 69 ft-lb torque for the R9. The R9 will have way better low end and mid-range grunt then the gixxer 750.

[@pixel279]

@@CycleCruza Did a little research. Appears the info from a video I got was from possibly a 2011 750. Could have been cherry picked lol. Looks like the 2024 does indeed get around 55, even with a tune. Not sure if removing the wings would be good though, might cause unnecessary drag since it wasn't really designed that way. Would still be curious to see how it looks. Maybe if someone makes an aftermarket piece that could replace it it could work better. Would still prefer the XSR900 over this one though. I guess it comes down to preference vs price. If you want a sportier looking bike, pay some more. If not, pay a little less. I'd probably pick the 750 over the R9 myself. But id 100% pick an XSR900/MT09 over an R9. I've got an 18 400 and a 2021 ZX6R and love both for what they are. Been riding for 10+ years and never get tickets or anything foolish. If you end up getting the R9, I won't lie I'd be interested how you like it :)

[@whosreactions8009]

Let's see who gets it first CycleCruza!!!!! Me or you bro lmao🔥🔥🔥

[@TevTooTurnt]

New r9 is so clean, minus that damn headlight.

[@CycleCruza]

I think the headlight looks ok, the winglets are lame tho bit overall the bike looks great.

[@Fleeglebutt]

Can you turn the center headlight off?

[@Victic005]

You absolutely should get it. The street is your track. And we paid taxes anyway.

[@VS-yv8yk]

Hell yeah! You gotta get this bike cycle cruza. I will definitely upgrade my R7 for this. The question is, on the first year of production?

[@tecategt5]

Hated my mt09. Hated every bit of it. I seriously hope this bike is better. Especially the top speed

[@DEAFRIDERSC]

Cannot believe Yamaha has made a 3 cylinders engine for R9! I mean, come on! It would b better if it has 4 cylinders engine.

[@jaycardona3492]

You dk what you’re talking about

[@DEAFRIDERSC]

@@jaycardona3492 yeah, 4 cylinders has more torque and power. Guess u never rode 4 cylinders bikes!

[@genhacloak]

Got to go with the Yamaha blue.

[@CycleCruza]

I bleed Yamaha blue!

[@Arthur_Tuck]

Honestly a Ninja 400 is more than most of us can utilize on track 😂

[@adrianw3985]

Looks sweet... honestly, though, a GSXR750 is more bike for the money. Unless you want all the modern electronics. The GSXR750 has close to 30+ HP on the R9. Don't get me wrong, that R9 will be fun.

[@CycleCruza]

The GSX-R750 is a great bike but doesn't have as much torque as the R9. The gixxer 750 only has 55.7 lb-ft bs vs 69 lb-ft on the R9. Also, the R9 won't get as hot as the gixxer and other supersports. That CP3 engine is grunty as heck, they added a couple teeth on the rear sprocket for a bot more top end but it'll still be torquey as all hell.

[@fchanMSI]

I own a 2021 MT-09 & it has plenty of power & torque if really want it. I was always thinking when they were going to release the CP3 engine with a sport fairing bike as the only reason that MT-09 limited is wind & programmed limits of 130MPH as over 100 the wind of any naked bike is not enjoyable.

[@CycleCruza]

The wind never bothers me but I don't usually ride anymore than 100 miles in a day. If I toured on a motorcycle then I would get something fairings and a wind screen.

[@smibru]

Get it!

[@onlyoneromeo]

Anyone think the gsxr 750 will walk this bike ?

[@keenanwiggins7992]

Gsxr 750 will smash this thing

[@CycleCruza]

Gixxer 750 only has 55.7 ft-lb torque vs 69 ft-lb torque on the R9. The gixxer 750 has about +5 hp vs R9, but the R9 will likely whoop it off the line.

[@fearlessfrank8266]

Only ever been on a dirt bike. Buddies are telling me to not buy an R7 because ill get bored in 6 months. Probably wont be able to keep up etc. is this too much to "start" on. I live out in the mountains. No traffic or city to worry about.

[@KrypteiaXi]

Tell these morons that if you cannot keep up with an R7 they are dangerous for public safety. You don’t need these retards around, especially when you are a complete rookie. What do you think is going to happen when you struggle to keep up with them in the twisties and you ride way above your skill level in order to keep up? I hope you are smart enough to not find out.

[@pimphand1982]

So it's basically re-bodied Xsr 900 gp? 😅

[@Aberamentho2010]

I had given up on them coming out with this. Okay, I see you Yamaha. sweet

[@heijyri]

This or new CBR,. You know, back to the roots (:

[@CycleCruza]

So I can say CBR1000 DOUBLE AHHHHHH!!! 🤣

[@heijyri]

@@CycleCruza YES!!!

[@tysonpeter]

yamaha blue baby all the way

[@michaelbrinks8089]

I like the conversion handlebars you can put on sportbikes for an upright road trip riding position. Then u can quickly change to sportbike position.

[@CycleCruza]

Yeah I will probably do just that.

[@pocotaligoswampfox4789]

What conversion handlebars?

[@michaelbrinks8089]

@@pocotaligoswampfox4789 Convertibars is one brand name but probably expensive...Google Search "adjustable motorcycle handlebars."

[@au303]

Already placed my deposit :)

[@Dannyttttr]

I hope they do a neo retro model of this bike. It’s working for the z900rs Kawasaki

[@devilmaycry383]

Just upgraded to the 2024 MT-09 SP a month before the R9 reveal a little gutted.

[@michaelbrinks8089]

🤔 I wonder if the wings could improve anything. Or 100% looks ?

[@CycleCruza]

eh all for looks.

[@GT3.00]

I don’t get it the hate? This is much better than the 600cc. Much more torque and same amount of power. A tune and exhaust will open it up and give you 10-15hp to 130hp

[@Skullzboy252]

Get it in the Yamaha Blue

[@CycleCruza]

A tough choice between blue and white/red, a blue R9 would look sick next to my blue YZ450FX supermoto tho.

[@bigding4507]

You can turn poser mode off on that thing which is good.

[@olliemoto253]

Nice bike for sure! I prefer the suzuki gsxr 750 over the r9. Cyclecruza, just go with the R1 and be done😁

[@CycleCruza]

The gixxer 750 is a great bike for sure but you should experience that Cp3 engine, its is grunty as heck. That was the only thing I loved about that 2020 MT-09 I had. The sound was sick af too.

[@chriscleland7008]

Torque? Get the Indian FTR. Now that's some torque baby! Upright riding style is way more comfortable.

[@DampestPlains43]

Brecksville Legend

[@Pillokun]

not that impressed, looks budget especially the swingarm. If u want short reach to the clip-ons get a Daytona675 or Panigale 1199/1299 or the v2. If u want good ergonomics on most sport bikes then tilt your levers downwards instead of having them at stock, where they often are very parallel with the ground, ie horizontal instead of following your fore arms angle.

[@CycleCruza]

That CP3 engine makes up for it. Have you ever rode a MT-09? The grunt of that CP3 is sublime. For that low price, you can't expect Panigale premium components. It has premium parts where you really need it like the Stylema brakes and fully adj suspension like the MT-09 SP has.

[@Pillokun]

@@CycleCruza I like the cp3 engine, best engine in the market for an naked, it is a hooligan hoot when one desires it. The swingarm looks budget, and from the looks of it seems to be a direct shock system which is more budget if it is true. I expect more from a supersport than this. As a naked the mt09 is superb but as a supersport, I dont know man.

[@dougiequick1]

The MT09 motor is NOT an R6 like track motor because it is so short on revs which the track is all about.... still it will be more fun in the street no doubt but the reputation WILL suffer with track reviews especially "R9 vs R6 track comparison" which will inevitably hit you tube.....got to have them REVS baby!

[@golvellius6855]

Friendly suggestion Do a youtube vote about the colors

[@Dropddime74]

Gonna catch a lot of hate for this, but I think that bike is ugly I take the MT-09 over that any day

[@mikolajnurkiewicz6015]

Agreed. It looks like the r7 which is also ugly in my opinion. R6 was a great looking bike

[@blacklight4460]

The R9 will be a huge hit because of the handling with the excellent suspension. The great engine is a given so I think they're going to sell them quickly. The white one looks the best because the blue bike graphic is kind of boring

[@myztklk3v]

I'm probably going to sell my 2020 R6 and get one. I've been saying that ever since the original R9 rumors lol.

[@808Mark]

Oh yes you should absolutely get this bike! So should I! Lol

[@JD-fd6gt]

Its a good sportbike. Its basically a Honda CBR600rr with more torque and slightly heavier. Kawasaki 636 and GSXR750 destroy it in hp though and are lighter.

[@elithegreat6463]

You know you’re getting it, 👍 it will get your viewers and content up, to make up for that shit-Show KTM you wasted your money on.

[@CycleCruza]

Eh I wouldn''t say it is a waste. The KTM is a fun bike but not as fun as my YZ450FX supermoto.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

You need to do some Track days on the MT-07 first .. the MT-07 needs Ohlin or K-tech front cartridges and an Ohlin or K-tech rear shock ..

[@INSOMNIAL13]

Last video you said why get the R9 if you can get a mt09 🤔

[@CycleCruza]

I already had the MT-09 tho. Honestly, the MT-09 is better for the streets but the R9 is new and fresh, it will be worth a try for something different.

[@AVISIONMUSICTV]

Ill get the evolution of it next years model! Wait for all the kinks and recalls to settle
