There are few sport bike lines with as much heritage as Yamaha’s YZF family of motorcycles. Whether it’s the iconic YZF-R1, the mid-priced YZF-R7, or the entry-level YZF-R3, Yamaha has released many excellent sport bikes over the years, catering to almost every kind of rider out there. Well, those who want a sport bike, at least.

That lineage continues to this day, with five models in the current YZF family to choose from, including a brand-new Yamaha model joining the family for 2025: the YZF-R9 slots between the YZF-R7 and the race-ready YZF-R1. Altogether, this a small lineup for sure, especially compared to Kawasaki’s wide range of Ninja sport bikes. However, what Yamaha gives up in quantity it sure makes up for in quality: The YZF-R1 is commonly hailed as one of the best high-performance motorcycles out there, and even the 300cc YZF-R3 has consistently earned high praise from the motoring press.
If you’re in the market for a sport bike, you could do a lot worse than consider one of Yamaha’s offerings. Here’s a quick look at all five models, listed from most expensive to least (not including destination fees).
