Great looking bike and a absolute track weapon as the R6 is.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

The original R7 (OW-02) was a superb race bike, homologated to only 500 street units though.

 

[NOMIEZVR4]

doesnt sound like a 4 cyl high revving motor.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

It's not, it's a 689cc in-line two cylinder from the MT07 with a 270° crank.

Shame too, the R6 in-line four was a screamer, as was the original R7.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

They should have grabbed the triple from the MT-09 and decreased the displacement to 800cc or 750cc. That would have been a better bridge between the R3 and the R1.

Yikes, 45hp shy of the r6. Nooooo thanks

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

74 HP, ~50 lb-ft of torque.

Will be an okay starter bike, but not expecting any stellar performance numbers Enough twist to get you going, but not so much a new rider will shit themselves. Might be a decent novice/low intermediate level track bike, especially at that price point.

Yikes, 45hp shy of the r6. Nooooo thanks

? why discontinue the r6 to make an r7 with that much less power
At least I read the r6 was bye bye ?‍
I’m still having fun banging every fucking gear on my r3

 

[Mr Baytchos]

They will sell a shit ton of these.

 

[BS ISF]

Oh shit those numbers are weak AF. Said above great starter bike though.

2022 Yamaha YZF-R7 First Ride Review

We sent Nathan May down to Atlanta to ride the all-new Yamaha YZF-R7 middleweight supersport. Here's what he had to say about it.

www.rideapart.com

I feel like Yamaha has done something remarkable with this bike. It is rewarding to ride and provides a great platform for learning and improvement as a rider. The liter-class modern supersports are so capable, and the rider aids so effective, that it makes it relatively easy for an inexperienced rider to get into big trouble out on the track or in the twisties.

The only nanny on the R7 is the non-switchable ABS, and the result is a bike that keeps you honest. However, thanks to its excellent chassis and capable suspension, the R7 never really stepped out of line. Only towards the end of the day, and on thoroughly thrashed tires, did I get the slightest wheel slip. That is a testament to how forgiving this bike really is and forgiveness is something that beginner and intermediate riders will truly benefit from.

You see, “change” can be good and for $8999.00 Yamaha has created one of the best values in the market today.
