Currently, there are four “supersport” bikes listed on Yamaha’s website: R1M, R1, R7, and R3. Those are the only full-fairing sport bikes you can get from Yamaha right now. As mentioned above, the R6 was discontinued a while back because it didn’t meet European emissions standards and the R1 is likely the next victim of that process. It’ll live on in racing form, but if you’re looking for something to ride on the street, the R1 won’t be available much longer.
As for the R9, Yamaha hasn’t announced any official specs or photos of the R9 yet, though the name has been trademarked. A few years ago, Yamaha filed trademark applications for the R9 name, along with some other R-branded motorcycles. According to motorcyclenews.com, the R9 will replace the R6 in the racing world, but that’s about all we know so far. We can take some speculative leaps and state what we think will happen with the R9, but there isn’t much solid information on the bike itself.
