@@Ezhaa Its a great engine, no doubt about it. But since the Honda Hornet 750 came out, the CP2 is really outclassed and needs a big upgrade, if Yamaha wants to continue selling bikes in that segment. They were king for a decade now, but technology has come a long way since then. Once Honda releases a CBR750R the R7 will really be obsolete unless its a big price difference between the two.
Only 2 grand difference in the US makes the Aprilla really worth its money. But with a 7 grand difference here in Australia the aprilla is just too expensive (over 20k) for a starter entry bike. Only reason I picked the R7 👌
Here the difference is also 2k (euro). So, the aprilia is by far a better choice, much more beautiful, and still, I am going for the yamaha. Why? Too many reliability issues reported. So, I guess you'd pick the R7 anyways. Yet, it's a shame that such an amazing bike loses potential customers for that.
I would have gone for the Aprilia if I had a dealer remotely close to me. I bought the R7 two months ago and am loving it. All I’ve done is throw on an M4 exhaust. I ride it to work every day rain or shine.
really wish these aprillias were reliable. after hearing all the horror stories from engine blocks cracking to crank shafts breaking to oil leaks truly a shame
Me too man, me too. Such a beautiful bike, so many advantages over the competition, and still, I wouldn't go for it. I'd rather get an r7 with all it's lack of power, electronics, worse brakes, etc., etc., than getting a bike that would spend most of the time in the garage.
we all know if RS660 is better than R7. Can you please make a comparison of RS660 from 2021-2024🥹 It think that would be very helpful for people who want to buy it, so we know what’s the part upgraded each year🙏🏻
Yeah wait till you see the maintenance cost of an aprilia. You don't even need 100hp for the street. I own an R7 and it has so much low end I can use. Plus its more reliable than european
@No_Name LOL, I have a CBR 650R bruh and I freaking love it. I have never ridden a aprilia in my life neither do I know about their reliability but they look cool though.
Great video. I've been thinking of getting the RS660 as a second bike. But not sure if it makes sense since I currently ride a Tiger Sport 660. I still really want it though.
@@lLooN3y It's a pretty sweet bike and, in my opinion, the most exciting bike in its class. I wanted a bike I could tour with that was still sporty and not too powerful (cos UK roads), and this bike is a good compromise. And that triple engine is a beauty, especially once you fit a full system. I only use mine for the road and that's what it's primarily made for, but it should be adequate off-road with proper tyres and maybe a suspension upgrade and an engine/exhaust protector. Just don't expect it to be an Africa Twin off-road.
Yeah if the rs is produce in somewhere in the ASEAN, I will choose it over the r7. But due to the fact that 500M VND (~21k USD) is a thing, the R7 wins this round
In the real world on public roads they're both a muchness for making hay while the sun shines. For me however, with real world daily riding in mind, the looks, comfort and larger capacity tank of the Aprillia sells it. That's not to say the R7 is a bad bike, at the lower price point it's good value, and for daily road riding, just as fast and as competant as the Aprillia, even if it lacks the electronics package. Considering my used Sprint 1050ST only cost me £4,000 second hand and has never missed a beat, I won't be forking out for either one of these machines any time soon. Ride safe friends
The beauty of aprilia is top notch but I wouldn't risk even 5k for this model with this frame... there is already a review with cracking engine and several recalls from the the company for different kind of problems... No thank you..
man apriia is better anyday you can get more power good features yeah its a bit expensive than R7 but if anyone wants a bike and has 10k budget then he can easily increase his budget upto 1k$ so to me RS660 is way better
@@kaitokurahama7090 that's nice to hear. I am eyeballing the RS 660 and whatever the hypernaked model is called and I keep seeing comments about them being expensively unreliable. I read that they come with a pretty decent warranty tho, so it would come down to just time of the bike in the shop. They are absolutely beautiful fuckin bikes and I would like to treat myself and get my first brand new bike. Leaning towards the RS660 tho, I just can't get over how beautiful it is. But then the hypernaked one has some supersport-like front fairings that look rockin. Gonna be a hard decision but I'll figure it out eventually
rs660 memang salah satu motor pelarian er0pa dari kelas 600cc makanya muncul motor lain yg I3 750cc atu 1000cc vtwin untuk kelas baru. mirip seperti di m0t0gp, duc4ti,4prilia ,KeTM. memang disiapkan unutk pr0ject regulasi baru, mereka dikembalikan menjadi pemimpin pengembangan motor, setelah kalah sejak era 60an.... sudah sejak lama mereka mencoba melawan dengan real tapi tetap saja kalah, maka regulasi pun bertindak, muai dari ecu-software dan spec mesin benar2 dibuat baru, dan sudah disiapkan oleh pabrikan er0pa.
I wonder why Yamaha didn't make a R9 instead of the R7, it would have been a better move imo. I would rather buy a MT07 and upgrade the suspensions than a R7. Regarding the RS660, it's great but why so many electronics on it ? It's not a 200hp liter bike.
Because the R7 is more for the european market with their A2 regelations so they can sell more bikes. And for the RS660 you need another special bike with only 70kW max power.
@No_Name american/asian in europe we have our licenses seperated into 3 groups: a1/a2/a a1 = 125cc 15hp a2 = 47.5hp a = unrestricted they are split like this to prevent very young people from killing themselves on an r1 within 6 months of turning 18 😂 age limits very from country to country, in denmark they are quite strict and are as following: a1 = 18 years old a2 = 20 years old a = 24 years old a2 power limit is 47.5hp, however you can restrict more powerful bikes down to a2 so you can legally ride them if you are under 24. however you cannot restrict it by more than 50%, therefore a2 compatible bikes cannot have more than 95 horsepower unrestricted (this is also why the tuono has 5 less horsepower)
R7 is a disgrace and a flop in Europe. You can go to any dealership and find lots of these lying around. New and used because of buyer's remorse. Yamaha is paying extra commission for dealers to move them on even when a customer is looking for a different bike. If you're considering it, make absolutely sure to test ride it . And also try the others in the category.
@@pancake5830 you can‘t Ride the aprilia too, genious. 100 hp are 5 too much for A2 at least in Europe. Aprilia just brought out another Version of it with 95 hp. So basically an extra Version of it tho.
I mean. If all you care about is stats and what the broucher says about the bike. Then this video is cool. All because it looks good on paper doesn't mean it's good. Just sayin.

Pretty difficult to get a lot more out of that cp2 engine.

Why did Yamaha put ABS on it? Thats too much. Also they shouldn't give tires and engine with the bike.
aprilia sounds soo much better jesus

imo If you are not planning to go to the track very often in the future, I think there is no need to trade your tiger for rs660.
@@SecondGearYT Yeah agreed. I'm actually leaning more towards a used GSXR 750 now for some track days and weekend fun.

a1 = 125cc 15hp
a2 = 47.5hp

they are split like this to prevent very young people from killing themselves on an r1 within 6 months of turning 18 😂
age limits very from country to country, in denmark they are quite strict and are as following:
a1 = 18 years old

a2 power limit is 47.5hp, however you can restrict more powerful bikes down to a2 so you can legally ride them if you are under 24. however you cannot restrict it by more than 50%, therefore a2 compatible bikes cannot have more than 95 horsepower unrestricted

The Aprilia is better in every way, but you pay for it.
Rs660, r7 is cool but dollars for dollars,

Almost seems like the R7 is still a bit over priced compared the 660.
