2025 – The Year Of Yamaha

It’s always exciting when a manufacturer refreshes their lineup, but Yamaha’s recent wave of updates feels like a full-blown mic drop. With revamped versions of the YZF-R3, MT-03, MT-07 and the long-awaited debut of the all-new YZF-R9, 2025 is shaping up to be a massive year, not just for Yamaha fans, but for us here at TST Industries, too.

If you ride one of these bikes or are thinking about picking one up, there’s a good chance you know just how prevalent they are. These models aren’t just popular, they’re staples in the riding community. The YZF-R3 has long been a go-to for newer riders and track day junkies alike, and with its latest updates, it looks more refined than ever. Then there’s the MT-07, which continues to be one of the best bang-for-your-buck motorcycles out there. Its latest generation feels sharper, more aggressive, and even more fun to throw a leg over. Somehow, Yamaha continues to elevate its standards when it comes to the CP2 hypernaked, and you won’t hear any complaints from us. 

And now, we’ve got the YZF-R9, the middleweight triple-cylinder sportbike that riders have been begging for. It bridges the gap between the R7 and the legendary R1, and from the early impressions, it’s a complete game-changer.

Naturally, with all these new models, we’ve got our work cut out for us. Updated fairings, new tail designs, revised lighting, they all mean one thing for us: fresh development projects. And we’re already underway!

At TST Industries, this is exactly the kind of challenge we live for. When Yamaha drops a new model or tweaks an existing one, our team immediately starts digging in. We’re already scanning parts, test-fitting prototypes, and gathering every bit of data we can get our hands on so we can deliver the cleanest, most installation-friendly parts possible. Whether it’s integrated tail lights for the new YZF-R3, fender eliminators for the updated MT-07, or all-new performance parts for the YZF-R9, our goal is the same as it’s always been: build parts that look incredible, install easily, and make your ride feel like yours.

There’s something really special about being part of this process. These bikes mean a lot to the community – we know because we ride them, too. So when a new generation hits, we don’t just see it as an opportunity to make new parts, we see it as a chance to keep pushing forward, to innovate, and to keep delivering the kind of upgrades that make riding even more personal, even more exciting.

So yeah, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the busiest years for our R&D team to date, but we’re already elbows-deep in it. Stay tuned, because the next wave of TST parts is coming, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on.
