I’ve had my 2025 r7 for about a year now and I’m thinking o about upgrading. I have about 11k miles (17.7k Km) on the bike and have done mostly commuting and some canyon runs on the weekends. My favorite thing about the R7 is how slim it is, which makes it incredibly easy to maneuver between cars while lane splitting since most of my time driving it is on the freeway. My question is, has anyone upgraded from the R7 to the R9 and felt it more difficult to lane split being a slightly wider bike?

I’d really like to upgrade for that bit of extra power on the highways.

Does anyone regret their upgrade and wish they chose a different bike in the class? I’m also considering the GSXR750.
