Yamaha YZF-R9 For Sale Perth

The heart and soul of the new YZF-R9 is its characterful 890cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder powerplant, which receives a unique ECU tune and optimised gear ratio to provide thrilling supersport power with a broader, torquey street-friendly engine character. A carefully tuned airbox amplifies induction sound which combines with the CP3^'s distinctive crossplane triple exhaust note to provide an aural resonance which further heightens the thrill of acceleration.

The new YZF-R9 chassis begins with an advanced gravity-cast Deltabox frame that's the lightest aluminium frame ever offered on a Yamaha supersport model. The frame is extensively tuned to deliver a supple, predictable feel at lower speeds and supersport rigidity for razor-sharp handling at track speeds. Along with new high-spec fully adjustable KYB® suspension and nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the YZF-R9 delivers light, agile handling that inspires confidence for a wide range of riders and experience levels.

The new YZF-R9 includes MotoGP^®-inspired functional winglets which add downforce for a stable, planted front-end feel while keeping drag to a bare minimum. In fact, the ultra-sleek new R-series design yields the most aerodynamic Yamaha model ever offered. A dedicated supersport riding position is optimised to achieve excellent handling and a strong sense of unity with the machine while still offering a short reach to the clip-ons, ample leg room and low seat height for more comfort in a variety of riding scenarios.

Premium Brembo^® Stylema monoblock front brake calipers combine with a Brembo^® radial master cylinder, large 320mm dual front discs, stainless steel brake lines and aggressive pad compounds to offer supersport-level braking performance with exceptional power and feel. YZF-R9 also offers the option to turn rear ABS off for track riding.

The YZF-R9 receives Yamaha's latest generation full-colour five-inch TFT display providing a wide range of vehicle data. The rider can select their display preference between four separate street themes or a dedicated track theme. Display themes, vehicle data, connectivity functions and the YZF-R9's electronic suite are navigated through Yamaha's latest integrated handlebar switches.

New KYB suspension units are specified ^- including a 43mm USD front fork with base valve and a rear shock with a new low-speed valve ^- the first for a motorcycle. The new shock generates linear damping for precise road holding and chassis stability.

The YZF-R9 employs Yamaha's latest integrated handlebar switchgear with extensively refined button shape and feel providing intuitive operation and navigation of the TFT display in a compact, easy-to-use solution. Turn signals now include quick signal, continuous signal and self-cancelling functions, while premium brake and clutch levers offer simple, multi-level adjustment to further enhance the riding experience.

An advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is based on the proven performance of the flagship YZF-R1 superbike. Data collected from the IMU and wheel speed sensors enable a high-tech suite of rider aids including a nine-mode Traction Control System (TCS), three-mode Slide Control System (SCS), three-mode Lift Control System (LIF) and a Brake Control System (BC). Levels of intervention can be adjusted and each of these systems can also be turned off providing the ultimate versatility and control in a variety of weather and surface conditions.

Riders can link their smartphone to the new TFT display via Yamaha's free Y-Connect app to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth^® headset, not provided). Additionally, full turn-by-turn navigation is available through the Garmin^® StreetCross app to make each journey easier.

Road riders will appreciate convenient features such as cruise control and Yamaha's Variable Speed Limiter functions while track day enthusiasts will enjoy the Y-TRAC race settings complemented by a virtual pitboard feature that displays instructions and information from pit crew to rider in real time.

With sharp, distinctive R-series styling including its signature M-shaped front duct and tail wing, combining with new generation design cues like angled LED position lighting and advanced aerodynamics including functional front winglets, the revolutionary new YZF-R9 is instantly recognisable as the next evolution of Yamaha's iconic R-series.
