Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R9 2025

The Yamaha R9 isn’t a feel-good motorbike for leisurely country road rides – and that’s just as well. It appeals to ambitious riders looking for a sporty machine that’s just as thrilling off the race track. The engine is outstanding, the suspension is top-notch, and the brakes are excellent. It’s only the demanding ergonomics that make the Yamaha R9 less appealing to long-distance riders or leisurely bikers. However, anyone looking for a sharp country-road machine with track-day potential will find the R9 to be an extremely well-rounded – and, for what it offers, even good value – all-round package. You absolutely must take it for a test ride! That’s the only way to find out whether you’re the sort of rider suited to the Yamaha R9’s physical and direct character.

wide usable power range

good automatic gearbox with extended functionality

suitable for both road and track use

comprehensive electronics

good suspension, good brakes

Low-mounted handlebar stems, which result in uncomfortable ergonomics for the wrists and neck

Yamaha XSR900 GP 2024

Credible styling in the style of the 500 GP machines from around 1990 meets state-of-the-art components from the CP3 modular system. For the suspension components, Yamaha used high-quality, fully adjustable parts from KYB. The fork is the same as that used in the MT-09 SP. The sporty basic set-up is perfectly suited to this pretty retro racer. The standard electronic features are also impressive. All riding aids are lean angle-dependent, the quickshifter works first-class and there is even cruise control on board. If you can cope with the sporty riding position, you can enjoy a dream bike. Apart from the brakes, which could have a little more bite, we have no real criticism to make.
