Yamaha R9 Name Trademarked; YZF-R7's Big Brother Is Coming!

Yamaha R9 Name Trademarked; YZF-R7's Big Brother Is Coming!

Yamaha is almost certainly preparing to unveil the new YZF-R9. That is what can be assumed after a new trademark application for the YZF-R9 logo and branding style was filed. A photo of the Yamaha YZF-R9 logo, which depicts the typical Yamaha 'R' series bike logo style and font, is making the rounds on the internet. Yamaha had previously registered the YZF-R9 name as a trademark in several countries, including India.

If Yamaha does reveal the YZF-R9 soon, we expect it to be a fully-faired version of the MT-09. This means that the MT-09's 890cc, three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine could power the YZF-R9. This engine produces 119 hp and 93 Nm on the street and may be in the same state of tune as the YZF-R9.

The supersport will also serve as a track bike. We can expect Yamaha to outfit it with mechanicals from the MT-09 SP variant, such as adjustable suspension and braking. The YZF-R9 is also expected to have an IMU-based electronics suite.

It'll be interesting to see what Yamaha comes up with in terms of styling. The design languages of the YZF-R1, YZF-R3, YZF-R7, and even the YZF-R15 are largely similar, and the YZF-R9 may follow suit. Some of the body panels may have slightly different shapes or the headlights may be positioned differently. Overall, the YZF-R9 would fill the void between the YZF-R7 and the flagship, 200hp YZF-R1 superbike.

Is the launch of Yamaha R3 ABS & Red colour related with the launch of MT-03 in India?
2022-12-29 05:59:43 AM
Yamaha MT-03's launch in India has not yet been scheduled by the company and it is possible that R3 may get ABS when the MT-03 gets launched in the country. The parts on both the motorcycles are common and Yamaha may increase the amount of localization, in order to keep the prices same and add ABS to the R3 in India. The Red shade can also be expected if the R3 gets the same Red shade for its naked body structure. The sales number of R3 is another factor on which the Red shade's launch indirectly depends. Both the bikes use a 321cc, 2-cylinder motor producing 41.4 BHP and 29.6 NM of torque.

R3 comes with a 321cc engine producing 41.4 BHP @ 10,750 rpm and 29.6 NM @ 9,000 rpm. The gearbox is a constant mesh, 6-speed manual unit. R3 comes with a price tag of INR 3,25,000.
Why didn’t Yamaha launch the Red & White Yamaha R3 in India?
2022-12-29 05:58:17 AM
Yamaha has launched the much awaited R3 in Racing Blue and Lightning Black shade only. The reason for the same would be the lower probability of sale of the Red shade in India. Yamaha sells most of its bikes in its signature Blue shade and limited edition models are mostly showcased in other shades. It also raises the probability of launch of the Red and White shade in a limited edition model, depending upon the sales of the current shades of the bike. Yamaha powers the R3 with a twin cylinder 321 cc engine and every unit of the same is imported via CKD route. In that, the company sends completely knocked down units of bikes, which are assembled locally. Yamaha R3 has been price at INR 3,25,000 for the current shades.
