That's interesting, I didn't see the R7 as an aggressive position. But it's a matter of prospective, having come off that R6 to the r7 it was, to me, far less aggressive. But totally agree there's no hit of power from that thing, if you're new to the track or you are stepping up from a smaller cc bike I think it is good. The RS660 is far better though and it has a much higher capacity to be upgraded into something incredible.
@@CaliMotoTV the 660 is actually all day comfortable. I do so many 250-300 mile days most sport bikes are gonna be a no go. The 660 is practically an St vs the R7. I hadn’t been on an R6 in awhile. I’ve owned a few.
Yea so great bikes, rsv4 has super smooth power delivery (panigale have gotten really smooth as well) it is very stable under braking, the quick shifter is insanely smooth. Some might not like that though because you can't tell that you shifted sometimes. For me being 6' I felt very cramped on them (the new ones are a little better but not by a ton). Even the new ones feel dated and heavy, like the brakes are phenomenal but when you turn in you feel the weight, on a panigale they feel lighter and turn in much easier. The power delivery out of a corner on an rsv4 is more smooth than a V4 or V4S panigale (v4r is better than them all). Low, mid range, and top end power on the rsv4 are fantastic and the power is literally everywhere, panigale is ok in it low end and good mid to top. Really it's something you just need to test out to see what fits you best.
@philliplongaz I can see that with a 996, I reviewed one a few years ago actually. But yea, you just feel the weight and it becomes a tiring bike on track.
@philliplongaz well you can get a Casita right on the track at inde, that's the closest thing. But the Holiday Inn in Willcox is the best bet, only 15 mins away from the track and a decent breakfast. I stay there a bunch when I do weekend events out there.
There are a bunch of great little tips in there.
Thanks for sharing and keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🏍🏁

You're welcome!

I rode an R7 this past week back to back with my 660. Very aggressive riding position. No power hit at all. Just linear.

@@CaliMotoTV when you say that you can feel the weight as you turn is, that reminds me of my 996. i thought it was hard to turn.

@@CaliMotoTV i've been wanting to attend Champ School. What's a good hotel to stay that's not too far from INDE? Btw, I can use my own bike, right?

Don't blame the bike. Blame the rider.
Who "blamed" anything?
