Yamaha has kept us busy this year. The Tuning Fork has made some impactful moves across its lineup, and the breadth of what it has announced spans asphalt and dirt alike.
Still, a few standouts are driving progress. The 2027 WR450Fpushed the brand’s off-road credentials forward with meaningful updates to a bike that already had a strong reputation, while the YZF-R9 arrived on US shores with an American-exclusive statement.
And that doesn’t even account for other developments, such as the Tricity 300 Airbag. The three-wheeled urban scooter promises to move rider safety meaningfully forward with its unique integrated airbag.
Everything we’ve covered (so far) is collected below. Whether you’re shopping, researching or just keeping tabs on where one of motorcycling’s most important brands is headed, it’s worth a scroll.
