Yamaha’s new R9 mixes the friendly power delivery of an MT-09 with the sharp handling of a full-blown supersports weapon and a riding position that isn’t too extreme

A hell of a cheap ticket to ride

An injection of performance and character

Riding it will change your view of Chinese-made bikes

It’s a proper Ducati sportsbike, but one that doesn’t try and rip your face off

It’ll sell by the bucketload

All-new 890cc V-twin and a compact, energetic chassis knocks years off the Multistrada V2 S

The character and capability of the 660, with a more grown-up feel and stronger motor

The Z900 is still a confidence inspiring, stable machine that is happy to be pushed

excellent handling, so easy to ride, wonderful mid-range power. no cruise control but i had the dealer fit one. full arrow exhaust system makes a big difference.

done 2000 miles in all uk weather, fault codes galore, lost some faith and dont trust it

Can't get much better than a triple

One of the best all rounders you could imagine. Sportsbike power and handling with touring bike range and comfort. I sold an R1 and a Pan European to buy this and I would say this is as fast as the R1 in almost every scenario and yet more comfortable and practical than the Pan European for...

This is a follow-up review after a year of ownership. I wanted to submit this to advise how the bike is doing after my initial review last year. Overall, I continue to be impressed with the bike's refinement and abilities, which far exceed my current skill level. There are some concerns noted...
