Yamaha R9
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- The R9 is a beast and he's probably just trying to make you feel bad because he has an inferior wheel, and wants to have a beasty setup too. ... I would LOVE to have the R9!
- R9 made me to rediscover sim racing and with stronger passion at that.
- R9 is like Yamaha finally gave the MT-09 a proper suit. the torque is perfect for traffic lights, stop signs, and just ripping wheelies for fun. it’s a hooligan’s road bike with enough street power to keep things lively without the need...
- The R9 is perfect for the modern rider market.
- Having spent a lot of time getting to know the R9 from a dealer point of view, it's going to be a killer of a bike. We had an absolute blast with the XSR900GPs, and the R9s are just an even more evolved iteration to the CP3 line-up.stupi...
Cons
- Parent context: Well, I didn't even know what R9 was until you asked and made me look it up lol. I now know it has to do with rendering reds... I think the green is actually pretty accurate for what it is, I can at least tell most colors...
- The R9 has a different frame and different subframe. The suspension is also different, and has different brakes. It shares the same engine, but even that is running a different map.
- This is the r9 and I’m struggling at 70% ffb
- In Australia it is overpriced. Costs $900AUD less than a gsxr1000 ABS.
- I think it’s winglets make it look like a weird fish

I think the green is actually pretty accurate for what it is, I can at least tell most colors apart, but the red just makes everything red or brown. I'm not a good judge of color accuracy, though Reply: I think the green is actually pretty accurate for what it is, I can at least tell most colors apart, but the red just makes everything red or brown.

R9 is like Yamaha finally gave the MT-09 a proper suit. the torque is perfect for traffic lights, stop signs, and just ripping wheelies for fun. it’s a hooligan’s road bike with enough street power to keep things lively without the need to constantly dance on the shifter.

We had an absolute blast with the XSR900GPs, and the R9s are just an even more evolved iteration to the CP3 line-up.stupid amount of features, auto lap timer, good ergonomics for aggressive riding, stupid torque over the R6 and 1 more horse.
