I saw it in person here in Miami last week! Looks way better and bigger in person than it does on the videos/pictures. I think this is going to be a killer bike for the price and everything it comes with! Just gained a subscriber bro!

@@KingsofRecreation Same as you, just blue! I think thats the ones just going around tbh lol I currently have a 2018 CBR600RR with no comforts so I am seriously considering this given it has all of those tech and rider features from factory.

@KingsofRecreation Yamaha of Olympia here in WA is getting a shipment around end of March. I'm one of 7 folks picking one up at that dealer specifically. So sounds like first wave.
The only reason they hate this bike is because they cant get over r6, i agree 08-16 r6 was perfect bike good looking,reliable,nice sounding and pretty fast but who cares there is no more r6! Get used to it! This bike looks perfect, it may sound bad but it got plenty of power and if yamaha wants to they can make it faster than r6, we all know that mt09 destroys r6 till 200km/h …
@@Djoxiiii777 perfectly put. Since 2009 the R6 has been in DECLINE of Hp and performance. From 127hp 43.3tq in 2009 down to 117hp in 2020 when it ended the model life… people still haven’t learned to let it go. For this bike to meet all these heavily restricted regulations and make the same hp but 50% more tq just means when we do air filter, exhaust and tune, this will be an outrageously lively motorcycle. People can hate now, it’s fine because the amount of fun that will be had on these bikes will be top level.
i own 23mt09sp and it's very fun street bike. I just got tuned and it runs amazing. Newer cp3 (24+) have more pronounce dead spot due to euro5+ which a tune can sort that out. Can't wait to see r9 contents. While waiting for r9 test ride mt09 for the motor, I know r9 is gonna have different sprocket and gearing but it should have similar power out of cp3.
The price is a little up there. Yamaha did a great job adding everything you need in a quality machine for value. Electronics and mirror signals, steel brake lines, upgraded brakes, winglets, handle bars and suspension. The only thing it doesn't have is a tinted shield.
Hype to see you get yours man love the videos , hopefully we have a series on you building it one part at a time like the other bikes stoke to see you take it on track when that time comes keep it up hope the family is well brother god bless
You guys can stop complaining about the hole in the middle by engine. It’s covered w pair valve system. This is a prototype. Watch 44teeths video. Hole is covered.
Glad I discovered your channel! You're one Yamaha obsessed mofo! I'm with ya, haha! So stoked for this R9. Presently, I ride an R7 which I love and will keep, but it's soft compared to the R9. Also pre-ordering, and going for the white and red livery!
You mentioned you have already ordered parts for it…by chance do you know what exhaust will work? I’m concerned that even though it’s the MT09 engine the frame is different so how do you know if akra will fit the same?
Man loved up-close focused, way to capture loved it! I am in Canada we re not getting white one up here had R7 in blue loved it and i dropped a deposit for Blue
Can you tell how aggressive the riding position is just from inspecting it in this video? What would the seating position be similar to? Would this be more or less aggressive than a GSX-R750 for example?
@@KingsofRecreation damn so you think the riding position is going to be as aggressive as a fireblade? Isn’t the fireblade one of the most uncomfortable bikes as far as seating position? I’m hoping the r9 will be decently street friendly for a super sport since it isn’t aimed to be straight track focused like the r6.
@@KingsofRecreation same got impatient and went for the 7. I love it though, my daughter's mother wants to learn. So if that happens I need a third bike. I'm going for the blue.
@@felipeandres1947 yes I almost bought the winglet R1 but I just knew this was coming and am so glad I waited. I’m glad you got the R7 and if you can plz keep it when you get the R9. It will be so cool to see those two together.
@@KingsofRecreation Nice, I am looking at doing the same thing. I’m curious if the exhaust systems will fit, or if they will make them specifically for the R9. Also my dealer here will start receiving some in January.
@itsmeericb ok so I spoke directly to the guy about this exact thing. The belly pan on the R9 looks like it WILL allow you to use atleast any of the modern 22-up MT09 exhaust and more specifically the XSR900GP exhaust offerings. So it’s my plan to obtain the oem xsr900gp Superbike exhaust they got in collaboration from Akrapovic. We will see, because I talked to the guy about if there would be a “sp” or “m” version and he said they couldn’t figure where to make it more of a better version since they threw the sink at it. But I plan to show my process of making it something interesting.
@@KingsofRecreation Nice! Thanks for checking. Yeah I feel since they threw so much into this bike why they would make another version. Only thing I can see with an SP model would be better suspension power and some sort of titanium engine internals along with forged wheels. Have you seen the Spark exhaust for the MT-09’s? It looks and sounds good. I too plan to make content on my entire journey with the R9. Keep it up! 👍
I’m so glad they made the decision to show us outside. The wings were hit or miss in pictures depending on angle but the design is beautifully done when you see it in person.
Why does the exhaust always look like it was pulled out of a junkyard when the rest of the bike is so premium? Would it really cost that much to make it look nice?
Lol we’re 4 years departed from that now. I really would love for them to make a return with it. Maybe when the R1 comes back they bring anR6 with it. V4 R1 and crossplane R6???? 👀👀👀
This is a demo we don’t get our bikes personally until March. The prototype comes with a man with info is all lol. We kindof knew a bit more than the guy was divulging I cut a few things out of the clips but when I get the bike in hand I’ll run through all the intricate things.
@@KingsofRecreation word I was just trying to see what max weight limit was for this me being a bigger guy and all. I ain’t gonna lie I wanna get me one for my channel also to help grow it.
Yeah around the 8:30 mark you give your reasoning. However my experience with a Daytona 675r has me under the opinion that when you break up fairing into more pieces it only raises the cost.
@ I’d imagine painted the fairing winglet would be about 150 USD we will see, but I’d certainly rather just replace a winglet instead of full fairing side.
This bike looks great but the hole between the engine and the frame is killing the looks of this bike imo. Makes it look cheap. Was it that hard to cover it with a piece of plastic? 😭
I do agree, even those cables between the handle bars and lcd screens looks bad and out of place...i am from europe and i already miss the fantastic r1 ❤
@@defdaz lol. Good, glad you don’t get it… it’s not for everyone. That’s just kind of how motorcycles are. You want it, you get it, you don’t want it you don’t get it.
@@thecornishbiker9323 correction the 765 doesn’t make 130 it’s 127hp… and yes it’s that serious because for these bikes it takes a lot to get 3 hp… the R6 made 127hp back in 2009 and it swiftly declined down to 117 by 2011 and stayed that way all the way until 2020… it’s not lazy it’s a targeted hp number. But don’t let me stop you from having an opinion though. Think what you’d like.
@@KingsofRecreation in the past the sporty fast bike had the bhp and then it got detuned for the naked version. Yamaha have taken there naked bike changed quite a few bits but forgot to add 15 20 bhp. But hey thats just an opinion 🤷 🙃 🙂
@thecornishbiker9323 no they didn't forget to add it, lol. The engine suited the exact needs they wanted met... imagine having a 2024 R6 and it's had 117hp and 43 tq since 2012... but they charging you 13k for brakes from 2003 and a engine and frame from 2005... God forbid they didn't give you the max hp that the bike can handle. Keep it honest were going to get the bike, put filter and full exhaust on it and tune it and get LARGE whp gains. Would you rather have a bike with 130bhp and then go put exhaust and tune it and get 138bhp and the engine blow up, or would you feel more accomplished if you got this 117bhp motorcycle and did modifications and tune it and get 138bhp rev to 12k and have zero issues at all with reliability and endless fun on it?
I’m not gonna lie! As a Yamaha fanboy that R9 is the ugliest design they have put out in the R series! I’m not getting caught up in the hype of something being new.
Sounds reasonable. They said the same thing about the 2009 R1’s. It doesn’t have to be for everyone. It’s also not about being caught up in the hype… but your opinion is your own.
