YAMAHA “YZF-R15 , YZF-R3 , and YZF-R9” Will Join Forces in 2022?

I believe that the news of YZF-R series is still fresh in the minds of the fans who are concerned about it. A few months ago, the editorial department found a trademark application document filed by YAMAHA in Japan. In addition to R1, R6, R3, R25, R15, R125, there are also R2, R4, R7, R8, R9 and R20, and other motorcycle names.

Everyone knows the subsequent development. YAMAHA really launched the YZF-R7 equipped with a parallel twin-cylinder engine. In addition, in recent weeks, the test motorcycle of the fourth generation YZF-R15 has also been caught by fans, leading to speculation of the launch of the YZF-R9, and the revision of the current YZF-R25/YZF-R3 models.

Will YZF-R9, YZF-R3, YZF-R15 be redesigned or launched in 2022?

From the YZF-R7 that has been launched and the YZF-R15 under test, it is speculated that the new YZF-R9 and the new-generation YZF-R25/R3 and other motorcycles will all use monocular headlights plugged in the shape of the central air inlet, and a new generation family design with LED positioning lights on both sides.

Speaking of YZF-R9, this will definitely be a sports motorcycle, and it should use the CP3 water-cooled four-stroke parallel three-cylinder engine on the new MT-09. The engine displacement of the 2021 MT-09 has increased from 847cc to 889cc, the maximum horsepower has also increased from 115hp to 119hp, and the maximum torque has increased from 87.5Nm/8,500rpm strengthened to 93Nm/7,000rpm.

As for the new YZF-R25/For R3, there is a great chance that the monocular headlight design of YZF-R7 will be inherited, and the frame will be changed from the current diamond-shaped steel tube frame to the proud DELTABOX frame of YAMAHA. At the same time, in terms of power, although it will continue the current model 321cc water-cooled four-stroke parallel twin-cylinder engine, but it should be improved in terms of performance and structure.

In the part of YZF-R15 with the smallest displacement, because the test motorcycle has been captured by fans, although the whole motorcycle is covered with camouflage paint, the shape of the front can be vaguely seen to be very similar to the YZF-R7, and it is speculated that the fourth-generation YZF- The R15 will follow the current VVA water-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine, and the changes will be focused on the exterior design of the body.
