Yoshimura YZF-R7 Race Bike Testing - One Lap At Laguna Seca
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Take a spin around Laguna Seca with RevZilla's Ari Henning as he pilots the Yamaha YZF-R7 that Yoshimura is developing for the MotoAmerica Twins Cup race at Laguna Seca in July. Note the hand up between Turn 5 and 6; Laguna Seca has a strict sound limit at track days, and Ari was forced to roll out of the throttle through this section to avoid being black flagged.

That was some good driving. Just accelerating a bit late out of the apex every now and again, but the other bikes were definitely more powerful I think.
Ari on a race prepped R7 in Laguna Seca? You just made my day, Revzilla! Now to watch this video ten times in a row.
Literally 5th time in 3 different days
Ari is an animal! And the idea of ripping a bike through the iconic corkscrew of Laguna Seca is wild! Definitely a bucket list thing
Ari never disappoints! Cool video.
I was so damn stoked to see "Henning" on the leaderboard honestly amazing he was able to just jump in and play like that. Hope there's more!
It's good to see Ari back in the mix and two videos in a row. 👍👍
I swear I thought you were going to low side in the first corner. 🤢
Simply amazing!🤘😃🤘👏👏👏
I love the sound of this bike. It just sounds so mean and aggressive.
like a small displacement Ducati?
CP2 ftw!
Me too
Yup, the CP2 is such a mean sounding engine. Never disappoints.
The sound is the only part of the R7 I don't like. Sounds like a lawnmower to me lol
Ari is a beast, the corkscrew looks genuinely scary from that angle :D I'd still absolutely love a shot around that track :D
that 3rd gear pull out of the corkscrew is awesome
Looks a blast, light and responsive on corner entry with plenty grunt on the way out, hell of a package you got yourselves boys, a true riders bike
A very respectable 13th place! Well done Mr Henning👏
going up against 600 race bikes though xD
That's good for first time out! First time, you have to finish!
@@JOA-S He raced in Twins Cup, not Supersport.
Breathtaking. Leaning this far in the corners almost scares me although im only watching it in the video.
That backing off going by the sound booth looked familiar :). Very smooth lap!
Love this track.
Never been there but a favourite with sim racing 😉
Same here with Forza! 😆 I didn’t know they raced bikes there, thats pretty incredible.
Those induction noise from those high lift cams and big bore throttle bodies are awesome
My lord your speed through T2 made my hair stand up! I can only dream of being that ballsy.
That's a perfectly executed riding video, purity of experience.
This POV is mad!!! 👌🏾
If only MotoGP decides to bring back Leguna Seca.
That's a good lap, Ari! May I know what's the reason for sound limit?
Because stupid people built houses right next to a racetrack and now they complain about noise.
There's a subdivision just outside of the racetrack who convinced local officials for a sound ordinance
Rich assholes.
Sounds like the same kind of people who bought houses out near Denver’s airport, then complained about jet noise!
@@0347kali Oo I get it. Pretty sad though.
Man Ari is such an amazing rider
Very cool, was looking forward to this one. I did notice it was very bumpy. Suspension, track or camera?
You would love this track 🙂
lol, the joys of the laguna sounds check between T5 and T6.
I try not to be salty about converting my FZ over to a race bike because the R7 **exactly** what I want out of a track bike but at least I got my FZ for a banging deal and it’s paid off. The R9 has to be coming at some point right?
It's already in the works
@@NathanaelNaused the first fz09 came out 2014 Yamaha sure likes to drag this out lol. Could have had one ready 3 years ago
@@pnwgreg300 Lol that's true.
I hope so, I think the mt09 engine in sports bike form would be the ultimate road weapon
Edge to edge seems so effortless. Looks pretty awesome. The corners are coming up quick. thanks for sharing!
the camera and placement was incredible! what was used to shoot this?
and as always, its a joy to watch Ari rip around a track
GoPro with a chestmount
@@silent_fluo6917 Nope it was mounted to the tank.
love watching Ari rip around a track 1st person style
Get sum Ari! Congrats on the great results
What a smooth ride around the track on that thing
Who else's is tilting their heads as the bike leans into the corners 🤣
this video is scary and awasome at the same time!
Using all of the track and great lines. You can tell his been on Laguna before the way he hit the chicane.
Dam Ari was leaning so much it was like I was sleeping on my side xD
Just an average streetbike twin from Yamaha. Blasting around a race circuit up to redline lap after lap. Reliably. Without leaks. Without excessive wear.
Japan makes good stuff.
amazing lap time. he makes it look so easy. I was just there on Monday and it's not as easy to get this kind of time for us mortals.
Yup buying the r7 next year I’m sold
That blind R-L-R over crest's pretty cool
God damn Ari can rip. Looked like he was shoulder down Marquez style there. More onboards with Ari please
Beautiful track
That is insane how early (and hard) an experienced rider can get on the throttle in the corkscrew. He pinned that bad boy mid-turn while at a super sharp lean angle…and going downhill. That is so counter-intuitive to how my brain works. It just goes to show how much a good rider can extract from a bike vs an Average Joe like me.
He wasnt mid turn and he didnt pin it. its called rolling on the throttle. Only a dipshit or unintelligent person would pin the throttle while leaned into a corner. Go back to msf man
Ironically, that's my slowest sector. The really good riders carry more entry speed into the left and get on the gas even earlier...
The corkscrew is steep at the top and flattens out as you go down, so the wheels and suspension are heavily loaded. You will never get more traction than gradually coming out the bottom of a steep hill.
This is what moto2 should be, mid sized twins open to all manufacturers
Any manufacturer can join moto2, just have to use the glorious 765 engine which has absolutely nothing wrong with it.
That was art
Ari, Zach, and Adam W I really enjoy
awesome footage!
Looks like your about to drag handlebar! Damn dude! Hahaha
Really wanted to upgrade to an R1... but an R7 track bike is also heavily weighing in the consideration
Awesomeness 🤘😎
I love how the guy at the gate looked. He was like " why are you looking at me? Get the f out of here."
Love all the content! 🔥🔥🔥
SOUNDS SO GOOD!
Great lap, and what a tricky track - all that elevation just makes for a extra challenge. And I just noticed a lot of the corners require trail braking
1:30 I high side so much in this section playing Ride 4
Hey thoughtful comments below...to be honest I'm stoked I'm No.5...views that is....love the channel!!
Ari, you are a freaking gangster sir.
That looks like so much fun.
I spy myself at the beginning 🤣
After watching that first turn I now have road rash up to my thigh!
Holy cheeeeeeet that’s quick
Holy max lean angle batman!
Ok so Ari was faster than me back when he had long hair but that looks like he is moving around Laguna at pretty fast pace . That R7 looks like turns quick .
Nice Vid. Great sound👌
MORE!
such a great racetrack
Nice sound
bad ass r7
that bike goes fast
you did great ari!
The sound limits at Laguna and many other tracks are embarrassing. Let us ride our damn bikes!
I don't expect anything less from California
dang that boy can ride!
Sounds amazing
Go Ari Go!!
What a beast.
I'm sure that's changed many opinion on the new R7 from Yamaha, it's changed mine 👍
while you're right, this is far from a srock R7. He's been working with the yoshimura team for weeks.
@@SirSpinalColumn I'd guessed as much but it is still holding its own against the other bikes out there. Sounds good too 😁
Hot damn that's cool
Increíble vision
That first turn was scary 🤣🤣🤣
That corkscrew dive
Gopros sometimes don’t show speed very well but that looked fast
Cool awesome
"Bank Angle! Bank Angle!"
Lacks acceleration on straights. But the torque of R7 is amazing.
You do realise its a beginner bike yeah?
@@mt09madness Bleeding edge of beginner. Better as a second bike for most beginners.
I was just there!
That thing is flying! Has to be close to 100hp
So cool!!
Can I order the aftermarket dash and clip ons same one in the videos on revzilla?
Awesome lap. Please convince Yamaha to re-manufacture the R6
Awesome.
I’m curious to know how does it stack up against the R6
The R6 is a superior machine.
@@brockcroy805 yeah I know it’s pricier but on tracks which have more twists and bends, something tells me that the R7 would win
@@sushi_edits225 Brock's reply fails to take into account a ton of factors. In my opinion, if you're not a upper-level A-group rider, an R7 will actually be faster around most tracks. It's simply easier to ride and has a less demanding power curve.
@@AriH211 thank you very much for your answer! Cheers 🤟🏾
It’s impressive how late ari brakes into corners…
Ah yes that engine has little more high rev~ and sounds even better plus with racing full system exhaust~ and btw what digital speedo is that?
This was so cool…
Damn that POV of getting ridden by Ari did get me abit douzy.
Ayo
🔥
I guess I just don't understand the point of this motorcycle. It's not replacing the R6, it's not better, very strange to me
Great riding and footage. How do you have the camera on the thank like that though without it getting in the way during tuck
It does get in the way! That's the price you pay for a decent angle. It's mounted on the tank, just behind the gas cap.
There was no sound at all first time playing the video?
What was that camera mount? Very cool POV.
What are the changes compared to a stock R7?
They have the two articles Ari has written in one of their comments, and its an excellent read. It has many of the details you are probably looking for, but in summary: everything.
Can I ask what camera setup that is? I’d rather do that than a helmet cam. Thank you!
go Ari!
Holy shit he’s laying it flat!
