I just got my MT09 and was torn between it and the R7. The break in is a drag for sure, but at least I can go up to 74MPH while staying under 5300 RPM. 😂 Great bike bro! 🤙🏻
New brakes have to bed in to work properly. I doubt they are awful as you keep saying. Drag the brakes and do a few hard stops and they should be good. You have to embed pad material into the new rotors in order for them to start working as they should.
You're not "embedding" anything. It gives the pads a chance to wear away where they touch high spots on the disc and getting them hot evaporates any remaining fluids
@@233kosta You must be new to motorcycles. “Bedding” in brakes means exactly that. That’s how brakes work. You have to embed pad material into the rotor. That is what creates the friction. It has nothing to do with high spots. Smoothing mating surface happens naturally. Bedding in refers to pad material transfer. A bed of pad material on the rotor which needs to happen with any new rotor before brakes work as designed. This is why brakes on the first ride of brand new bike feel like crap. It isn’t because of high spots. ruclips.net/video/fy0HAnOtbAQ/видео.html
@@VeriStrawberi Yeah, but even the S1000RR is going to have “shit brakes” right off the dealer lot. Any and every rotor needs bedded in with pad material. Odds are, he will chime in and say that the brakes are doing much better now….. since they are likely bedded in by now.
I just got the same exact bike the same weekend you did. And like you I was stoked! I have a few more miles left for break in then I can put her to the test. I am really looking forward to seeing some of your mods. Right now on mine I only got the Yoshimura tail tidy and some frame sliders. I do have a full carbon Yoshimura R77 exhaust on preorder. So keep the videos coming and ride safe brother.
Blaster X tail is sick. Combined with JL Designs Fender Eliminator and TST flushmounts. Also you do you, but the "break in" period was a relic of the 70's and 80's. Besides the bike was red lined 5-6 times at 0 miles for the dyno test.
I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, I road 750 and 1100 Superbikes back in the 80's and now at 56 I wanted a sport bike that wouldn't wake up and bite me in the corner if I rolled on a little too much throttle like an R6 or R1 would probably do. Enjoy the bike my friend, throw some braded lines up front and some new pads and I'm sure she'll feel much better under braking.😎🤘🏍
Omg you are as excited as I am and you already have it… I pick mine up in 4 days and I can’t sleep 😂 Getting an akrapovic exhaust, tail tidy and quick shifter straight up! I’m so keen dude ❤😍 Love your vibes! 🙏 ❤
@@2wheelt928 I'm not to terribly worried about it! I'm deployed right now anyways so I won't be home till November to ride it so they have plenty of time. Stay safe man, gotta say I'm enjoying the vids!
@@2wheelt928 btw overall do you like the R7. The Aprillia is my first ever bike so slowly getting into it but will be happy when I can fly down the interstate like yourself.
@@mattstakeontheancients7594 Man I absolutely love the R7. It's easy to ride, super smooth, GREAT in the canyons, plenty of speed (though not crazy fast like some people want), and I like that it doesn't have many electronics so you really feel one with the bike. It's perfect for me! And smart man, take it slow. Always stay in your comfort zone 🤙
I saw this video on my recommended and I was like this place looks like grandprix in CO and I was correct. I got the same bike from Gforce lol. I just reached 600mi on mine!
It definitely feels like a beginner bike in a lot of ways. But if you do what its meant for, it's a lot of fun for sure. I think people just want it to be faster
I just couldn’t justify paying that kind of money for 74 horses. The Kawi Zx6-R has less engine displacement and makes 134 HP for $1,500 more. Don’t get me wrong the R7 is beautiful to look at.
I feel you but I didn't buy this one for speed. I've got enough of that already haha. I got this for the fun factor, and it's been exactly what I've wanted 🤙
i couldnt justify over 100hp and there are plenty of cheap r6's and cbr600s, but Im in the city way more than highway. Would look and sound cool but otherwise its a waste on me. Not to mention the tickets I would no doubt get. a zx4r tho...
Welcome to the R7 Fam!
It's a great place to be!
Does the tr7 count?

He's coming from an S1000RR... Which have MEGA brakes... R7 with 70hp vs s1krr with 210hp. His frame of reference is jacked.

It reminds me when I got my R7 .. only 4miles on my baby! So happy !!
I’ve had mine for 9 months and only have 2,600 miles . I LOVE It
Hell ya man! These R7's are a blast!
Agreed, had my R7 60th anniversary around year now only 3000miles but loved every minute. So much unnecessary R7 hate out there.
Your happiness on this bike is contagious.

Hell ya man that's dope! It's a rowdy little bike for sure, you're gonna love it. Especially wit that Yoshi! And for sure 🤙 Thanks!
Congrats! Just got my permit can't wait to get mine.
Hell ya! congrats! Ride safe 🤙

Sweet! Thanks man! And I thought so with the break in
im really looking forward to your canyon rides and track days once you get this beauty broken in. You really have quite the line up right now 🤘
Hell ya thanks man! 🤙 I will say I've gone for a few canyon rides now, and she's AMAZING! Videos coming soon!

Man that's sweet! you're gonna love it! Especially with the retro look. And I'm thinking the same thing. There's just no substitute for good brakes
Omg you are as excited as I am and you already have it… I pick mine up in 4 days and I can’t sleep 😂 Getting an akrapovic exhaust, tail tidy and quick shifter straight up! I’m so keen dude ❤😍 Love your vibes! 🙏 ❤
I'm happy for you Bro!! And you got the anniversary edition!! 👍💯😊🎉
Thanks man! 🤙 I had to get the anniversary, I just love the red and white too much
That interaction at the start was so nice
I love the motorcycle community for exactly that
bro deserve million of subscribers
Would love to see a R1 on the channel sometimes.
Do a review on it if you can
I am DEFINITELY trying to get an R1 on the channel soon! I'll do my best I promise 🤙
Awsome choice bruh! Looking forward for more R7 videos..
Hell ya man! 🤙 A lot more to come for sure
Holy shit bro! I just found your channel and dude, i LOVE the vibes!!!!
Hell ya thanks man!! Plenty more to come 🤙
Nice looking bike i just purchased a new tiger 1200. New bikes are awesome.
Hell ya, I love it! It's got a special feel doesn't it
hey man love the bike i have a 2023 black r7 your going to love it cheers! from LA
Congrats! I just bought a new RS 660! So much fun having a new ride! Be safe!
Oh that's sweet! I love those 660's! Thanks man, you too
I ordered the same bike from Grand Prix in June haha they still haven't received It yet but im so stoked to get it when it does come in
Oh shit! that hurts man! You're going to love it when it comes in. Hopefully sooner than later
@@2wheelt928 I'm not to terribly worried about it!

@@jaystyles2241 Oh nice, thats perfect! And thanks man, you too 🤙
You got me so stoked to get one some day with this video
Love the bike bro… but the daytona in the beginning🤩
Haha I know! It's a chick who rides it too 😍
Havent heard of Imperial Sportsbikes yet, but if i see you on I-25 ill wave
Your brakes should be really good so they either didn’t brake clean the rotors or you need your brakes bled
Bought my Aprillia shiver from there knew that building looked familiar
Haha hell ya that's what's up! Good people over there at Grand Prix
@@2wheelt928 btw overall do you like the R7. The Aprillia is my first ever bike so slowly getting into it but will be happy when I can fly down the interstate like yourself.

The brakes have to go through the bed-in period.

Hell ya! Another local R7! We should get a bunch of us R7's together for a ride haha
We're talking a 72HP lookalike Supersport.
Definitely looks faster than it is lol
A bunch of r7s were sold around this area in the summer. Now they're back for resale for the fall no low performance.A motorcycle for nubes.
It definitely feels like a beginner bike in a lot of ways. But if you do what its meant for, it's a lot of fun for sure. I think people just want it to be faster
That thing is sweet. Big jelly
I gotta sfv650 hopefully this will be somewhat if an upgrade. I wanna full faired bike now.
Those sfv650's are fun bikes! I'm a sucker for a fully faired sport bike though

@@SifuPuma It's perfect for the city for sure
@@SifuPuma u r a black person lmao.
Sit down 👎
stay safe buddy nice bike
Thanks man! Always
Hey i am looking at getting an R7 why do you say the breaks are bad that is scaring me haha as I am a new rider cheers
What exhaust did you go with? Looking to get one on mines!
More video with new parts like a akrapovic...........
Yessir! very soon I promise
It's a nice looking bike but why did you choose the 7 over the 6?
is ABS standard on this? If im shopping for a used one do I bother asking?
Yes ABS is standard. And it's always worth asking. The ABS will be the same used or not, unless the previous owner took it out
Waiting for new update
Soon, Very soon. I'm gonna try to put out a bunch of R7 content
Colorado?
Thin I'm getting one
CtG for real
How much did you pay out the door? If you don’t mind bro
All said and done it was $12,000. Money well spent IMO
@@2wheelt928 I paid 13,500 out the door 🥴 but it had everything done to it that I wanted
@@Chrisdominguez12 Damn! I would've rather done that haha. my exhaust was $1,200 alone 🤦♂
Are the brakes really so bad?
Not as bad as I first thought, bust still pretty bad lol
