2026 Yamaha Motorcycles and Scooters Range Updates
POSTED: 03/11/2025
Yamaha celebrated its 70th anniversary in July 2025, and ever since its foundation the mission has been to create innovative machines, which transcend boundaries and offer each Yamaha rider the feeling of deep satisfaction and intense excitement born from encountering something of exceptional value, quality and performance – KANDO.
For the 2026 model year the market leading Adventure segment goes from strength to strength with the introduction of the upgraded Ténéré 700 World Raid featuring a restyled body and new colour as well as next generation electronic control technology and premium enhanced suspension. 2026 also sees the introduction of the new WR125R – an exciting new model that offers the next generation of riders an accessible entry point into the exciting world of adventure riding.
Yamaha’s Sport Heritage range pays homage to the company’s most iconic designs from a previous era, while at the same time giving the rider the very latest engine, chassis and design technology. Flagship of the range is the outstanding XSR900 GP, a truly stunning machine inspired by Yamaha’s Grand Prix winning race bikes from the past. Now available in a new Legend Yellow colour alongside the current Legend Red, this bike blends authentic retro race-bike charisma with up to the minute performance.
Driven by characterful crossplane technology engines and equipped with wind-beating bodywork and state of the art electronic control technology, Yamaha’s TRACER 9 and TRACER 7 models are built to go the distance in comfort. For 2026 the remarkable Y-AMT system (Yamaha Automated Manual Transmission) is now featured on the TRACER 7 & TRACER 7 GT models. Following its successful introduction in 2025 on the TRACER 9, TRACER 9 GT & TRACER 9 GT+, this clutchless system elevates the Sport Touring experience.
Yamaha’s Sport Scooter lineup delivers premium, sporty, and dynamic scooters designed to offer MAX riders comfortable and enjoyable rides. The TMAX has set the standard in the maxi scooter category for 25 years, while the NMAX continues to be a best seller, complementing the range alongside the versatile XMAX. For 2026, all TMAX, XMAX and NMAX models are now offered in Yamaha’s race-inspired Icon Blue colour that reinforces their dynamic and sporty attitude – and the premium Tech MAX and Tech MAX+ range comes in an exclusive new Crystal Graphite. The new NMAX 155 Tech MAX is equipped with the innovative YECVT (Yamaha Electric Continuously Variable Transmission) technology that delivers an exciting new riding experience. YECVT enables you to instantly select ‘Sport’ or ‘Town’ engine running modes to suit the situation – and there’s also a new downshift function for increased acceleration and stronger engine braking.
