Yamaha R9

Not saying this is confirmation of anything but I wrote to Yamaha Motor Corporation in Japan on LinkedIn that I think the R9 that they're cooking up under the Bayberry trees is going to be a middleweight assassin in WSBK and MotoAmerica and therefore a hot seller in the dealers.

I got a near immediate "Like" from Yamaha in Japan in response.

A boy can dream, right?

The current R1 may be the finest track weapon ever designed for us mortals.

Don’t think it will be topped.

Oh. And I have a 2022 Panigale V4s to compare it to. That bike is sick. But the R1 is easier to ride again for mortals.

The V4s is just pretty. And my gift to myself for surviving bilateral pulmonary embolisms and myocarditis at the same time. I just said fuggit.

Unfortunately the r1 design is a little long in the tooth and it's the slowest current gen liter bike.
