Posted October 1, 20186 yr Global Moderator I just got an email from Yamaha that says: Join us at North America's largest Motorcycle and Powersports show, the AIMExpo in Las Vegas, NV from October 13 - 14, where you will have a chance to see firsthand the debut of a new Yamaha sport bike and many other new 2019 motorcycle models at the Yamaha display. Does anyone have any idea what the new sport bike could be?
October 1, 20186 yr Maybe they are talking about the Nikken? But I really hope they are bringing the Tracer 700 to the States!
October 2, 20186 yr hmmm could be a 3cyl sports bike... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW

October 2, 20186 yr I think that will have inverted forks and slipper clutch If so I will stop studying and I will be a fortune teller
October 2, 20186 yr Author Global Moderator Didn't they just do a refresh of the R3 recently? I would not call an updated R3 a new sport bike, but then I am not in marketing .
October 2, 20186 yr Over here the R3 is called a supersport bike. "Sport bike" suggests to me an MT based bike. Tracer 700, hopefully for you guys. Just do it!
October 2, 20186 yr Yamaha is such a temptress. We aren't in a topless bar, Yamaha. Please, just get it over with and stop the Tracer tease. Beemer

October 3, 20186 yr The new R125 has an engine with Variable Valve Actuation. It would be good if Yamaha spread that to other bikes. https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/new-bikes/yamaha-yzf-r125-2019/ Just do it!

ATTATT, two acronyms I live by.
October 3, 20186 yr I don't know if a 125 would sell over here. Multi-cylinder 300-400cc gets my vote.

The Kawasaki Ninja 400 is such a nice bike (came this close 🙏 to buying a new one off the showroom floor instead of my FZ-07) that Yamaha almost has to do something to counter with the R3, no?
October 3, 20186 yr to me, the 300-400 class is stale and needs something exotic to prod the other manufacturers on(especially Honda).
