Yamaha Motor has announced that it will be exhibiting at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2025, which will be held at Makuhari Messe (Chiba Prefecture) from January 10th (Friday) to 12th (Sunday), 2025. It has been revealed that the new motorcycles that were just announced last fall will also be on display at the booth. The new models of the two models, the YZF-R3 and the TRCER9 GT, will be unveiled in Japan for the first time!
Along with the Formula E car and EV mobility, the new 2025 model will also be exhibited
The Tokyo Auto Salon is one of the world's largest motor shows, held every January. Yamaha Motor has announced that it will be exhibiting at this festival, which will be held again this year from Friday, January 10, 2025. A Formula E machine equipped with an electric powertrain, a small, low-speed EV general-purpose platform machine currently under research and development, and a new motorcycle that was just announced last year will also be exhibited.
The motorcycles on display are three models: the YZF-R3, TRACER9 GT, and MT-03 Touring Style (MT-03 equipped with Y's Gear accessories). Of particular interest are the YZF-R3 and TRACER9 GT, which are new models that will be unveiled in Japan for the first time. Both are 2025 models for overseas markets, and their appearance and equipment have been significantly revamped, and they are expected to be released in Japan. In addition to the motorcycles, various Yamaha Motor novelty goods, including original T-shirts and caps, will also be sold, making this a booth that motorcycle fans will not want to miss.

The Tracer 9GT (2025) has been equipped with the latest headlights and undergoes various improvements to further improve its performance.

DIAPASON C580 Fork 1 (prototype model) A dozer model that takes advantage of the high expandability of the C580.
The YZF-R3 has been changed to a simple headlight common to the series! Winglets are also adopted.
The mid-range sports YZF-R3 has also undergone a model change for the first time in five years since 2019. There are no major changes to the basic specifications or design, but the new model features sporty projector lights common to the YZF series that was released earlier, giving it a completely different look. In addition, it is equipped with winglets fed back from MotoGP machines and a newly designed seat cowl to optimize aerodynamics. In terms of equipment, it is newly equipped with an assist and slipper clutch, allowing for more dynamic riding.
The model on display is the 311cc YZF-R3, but the popular 250cc model YZF-R25 in Japan is also a sister model with various designs in common, and the specification changes for this model are just around the corner. The long-awaited model change of the mid-range YZF series has attracted a lot of attention.
While it is equipped with the projector lights common to the YZF series, it has evolved to be even sportier with the adoption of winglets and an assist & slipper clutch.
Tracer 9GT transformed with adaptive matrix LED headlights
The Tracer 9GT is a sports tourer based on the 890cc parallel 3-cylinder engine and aluminum frame of the street fighter "MT-09", with touring-like driving performance and comfortable features such as a large screen. It is a high-spec model equipped with semi-active electronic control suspension and 6-axis IMU, but the new model announced last year has a new style with the new "adaptive matrix LED headlights". The unique 6-eye LED headlight system automatically adjusts the light output according to the surrounding traffic conditions, weather, and climate, and the cornering lights that trace the corner ahead are also continued from the previous model. It is a system with cutting-edge functions.
In addition, although it will not be exhibited this time, the top-of-the-line model Tracer 9GT+ equipped with active cruise control (ACC) function is equipped with millimeter wave radars in front and behind, and also has a blind spot detection function. In addition, the electronically controlled clutch mechanism "Y-AMT" model that was installed in the MT-09 and attracted attention has also been announced, making it even more powerful as the latest sports tourer.
The front mask has undergone a major transformation with the addition of adaptive matrix LED headlights, as well as changes to dimensions and enhanced electronic control.
