What’s buzzin’ you ask? Don’t be a square Daddy-O. Here you go: 2026 Yamaha YZF-R9, 2026 Yamaha YZF-R7, 2026 Yamaha YZF-R3 and 2026 Yamaha YZF-R125 plus they are all available in special 70th Anniversary editions too! Do you dig it? I dig it!

2 models I’d really like to highlight are the 2026 YZF-R7 which now features an advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit developed from the YZF-R1 Superbike, placing a host of superbike inspired rider aids at the rider’s disposal. Combined with an updated Supersport chassis and 70th Anniversary livery, the 2026 YZF-R7 redefines the middle weight Supersport.
And the The YE-01 Racing Concept which I’m sure will be polarizing for riders. It is a live project, and will be further developed with the aim of participating in the new electric motocross category, MXEP, that will be part of the FIM Motocross World Championship calendar in the future.

Yamaha Celebrates 70th Anniversary
Yamaha Motor Company marked its 70th anniversary earlier this year and the celebrations are set to continue into 2026 as the Supersport range will be available in a new, eye-catching and evocative 70th Anniversary colourway.
Based on the iconic colours of the limited edition, race-focused 1999 R7, the white and red colourway evokes memories of Yamaha’s statement-marking, revolutionarySupersport models of the 1990s.
The 70th Anniversary colours were first seen earlier this year when the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team and Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP team ran the one-off livery at the TT Circuit Assen as Yamaha’s 70th celebrations kicked off. The Yamaha Racing Team and YART also adorned the 70th anniversary colours at the prestigious Suzuka 8 Hour.
The occasion was also marked by Yamaha’s teams in the FIM Superbike World Championship and FIM Supersport World Championship, who ran liveries inspired by the colours at the Circuito de Jerez in October.
For 2026, the R125, R3, new Yamaha R7, and the award-winning Yamaha R9 will be available in the white and red 70th anniversary colours, combining Qualitative Pearlish White and vivid sporty red and black with historic Yamaha speedblock graphics.
Yamaha to Celebrate 70th Anniversary with Special Livery at Jerez Season Finale
The celebrations of Yamaha Motor Company’s 70th anniversary are set to continue at the final round of the 2025 FIM Superbike World Championship at Jerez this weekend, with Yamaha teams sporting special 70th anniversary colours for Sunday’s races.
The Pata Maxus Yamaha WorldSBK Official Team, GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team and Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing WorldSSP team are all set to race in celebratory red and white 70th anniversary colours, which are inspired by the iconic livery of the 1999 YZF-R7, in WorldSBK and WorldSSP Race 2 on Sunday.
As well as the one-off colours for the R1 WorldSBK and R9 WorldSSP, the riders will match their new colours with leather suits made for the occasion.
The colours were unveiled during a photo shoot on Thursday at Jerez, with the media getting a sneak preview of the livery ahead of this weekend’s races.
“We are all very proud to play our part in Yamaha’s 70th anniversary celebrations by running a special 70th anniversary livery inspired by the 1999 YZF-R7 in both WorldSBK and WorldSSP on Sunday. The R7 was a bike that captured the imaginations of fans all over the world, and of course, was a machine that enjoyed significant success in the Superbike World Championship, so to run these colours here again will be a special moment for us all. Yamaha’s legacy speaks for itself, it is a truly iconic brand, and we are sure that these instantly recognisable colours will evoke emotional memories for a lot of race fans worldwide.”
