2022 Yamaha R7 - First Ride Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 май 2021
- Yamaha invited Iconic to Atlanta Motorsports Park for the US press launch of the 2022 Yamaha YZF-R7 - here's what Abhi had to think!
If you can get over the name (and you can), the new R7 offers a compelling street-legal track package at a very reasonable price. Yamaha’s got a simple argument - sportbikes are too expensive and too capable for the average 19-26 year old buyer, so they made one that’s more approachable in terms of price and ease of use. It’s a triumph of common sense: the 2022 Yamaha YZF-R7 is what the average sportbike rider needs in terms of style, chassis, suspension, and braking, but there’s a not-so-small part of me that wonders if ~75 horsepower is what they want.

Out of all the videos about the R7, this is definitely the best review.
100% the last bit was icing on the cake.
Agree
can't dispute that ✌🏽🤙🏽🙏🏼
Yeah this indian guy nailed it.
Watched many big RUclipsrs reviews on r7 but none of them explain the pros of this bike. Your review is far the best i watch on r7
Best review on R7 than rest of the reviews in RUclips, final touch with old R7 though ...👌
Not too much fluff, straight to the point. Best review like others have said. Ty!
I'm from Malaysia & your analysis & evaluation really speaks out and there you go with my subscription and likes.
This was probably the best review on the R7 I’ve seen so far. 👍👍
Dude, so true, great review! So glad I found your channel!
Out of all of the R7 reviews that have been posted recently, this is the one I’ve been looking forward to the most.
Yup, subscribed!
Yeah
Congrats Abhi, you knocked it out of the park mate! Solid, balanced and honest review. Not gonna lie, I'm really hoping for an R7M with proper ohlins suspension and use of Supersports tech from the R6 to get it up to 100hp.
oh man i'm so glad i watched this review, just for the classic R7 at the end!! Me want!!
Some people are REALLY hating on the r7. I'm thinking Yamaha is making a great move here. Most people can't afford an r6, but the r7 is within budget and is obviously a more practical machine
Sales figures don't lie.
Good presentation congrats! Lot of infos!
Great review. You’re a very good presenter. Keep up the great work. Subscribed ✅
great video and explanation on why it was made
This is an excellent review, that opening hit points i never even thought of while initially roasting this bike lol
Wow. Someone who knows how to ride on track vs Chaseontwowheels or 650ib who looked like they never seen a track before. Thank you for an honest review.
Yeah I don't want to be rude but I want to see it thrashed not wobbled around on. I had to go through several reviews before seeing it ridden how I want to see it ridden. If you can't push it then I can't really give weight to a review of it.
LOL yeah Chase basically did a street review on the track..
Ooooooof. This was satisfying and that OG R7 at the end... Cherry on Top 🍒
Sub'd.
The best Review about the R7.An Real Owner of the Original R7 Understand What Yamaha Did.. Pretty Honest..
Huge fan of Iconic! Adam and Steve are next level.
Nice work!
You just keep going.. Subscribers will keep coming! 😉
All facts!! Great review!
I been to iconic motorbikes. Owner is a super cool guy.
I love all the rare bikes you can purchase & auction for.
Its really the best power level for people wanting to start track riding. Looking forward to this bike hitting the streets here in Sydney.
Excellent review- presenter is amazing- he might be able to bring back moto journalism
Super cool bike and I want one. Back in 2007 when I bought my R6 brand new it was $9999 out the door for the brand new model year, not even a leftover!
For a frame of reference on prices: in 1985 I bought one of the first batch of the new Ninja 600R motorcycles in America for about $3,500.
@@Land-Shark That is awesome.
I could see myself enjoying the heck out of the R7 at the track!
What a totally badass review! 🏆
Great video brother , thanks !
Best review I’ve seen
That ending. What a beautiful bike.
99.9% of people who have a "strong opinion" about the original R7 have never ridden one. Most have never even seen a real one up close.
Straight up. It's like people being upset the new Mustang Mach-E uses the Mustang name... WHO cares? It's a name!!
I'd add that these same people probably can't ride a supersport bike to even 50% of its capability or just do freeway runs like that 650ib joker. That bloke has no business reviewing any motorcycle.
True!
99 percent of people who have such an issue with other peoples "strong opinions" regarding the lack of R in this R7 dont even ride anything at all............
Yeah I never knew that another R7 existed ahahah
Great introduction
Nicely everything said!
U nailed it! 💥🤙
Nice! Already sold out, the I’ll get one next summer. Rocking an upgraded R3 this summer, hopefully do a track day or two.
they are sold out? dont you have to order them?
I think they should have used the mt 09 or whatever that 3 cyl 900 is called to make a R9.
You and me both! I suspect that we'll see one in the next year or two, assuming the R7 does alright sales-wise.
Great review. I think this bike is going to have the same issues my first street bike had ( XJ600 "SECA II") it was a sexy bike for its time, but under powered, compared to it's stable mate the FZR 600. It wasn't meant to be a "sportbike" but it sold like like one, its first year, because it was cheap, sexy, and a really good ( ummm decent) bike for the price. Problem is nobody wanted a seca II anymore, after they realized it could barely keep up with its sub 600cc competitors ( EX 500, and the GS 500E. ) This bike will suffer the same death. I think the MT07R, is a great value for money bike, but it is not in class of the YZF-R series name. It is being mis-labeled, and going to leave a lot of people with a bad time. So here is the deal, do I love it? I do. To me this is the modern SECA II.. I want one,, but I also know exactly what I am getting.
Not a fan. But I can’t wait to smoke all these new R7 riders with my old R6..... 🤣
Lol true!
I doubt they’ll even twist the the throttle past 60 percent.
Yeah, which is why Yamaha has expressly stated that this is not a replacement for an R6. However, if it gets a bunch of "new riders" buying bikes then we all win.
I'm dying to get it !
I still have hard time to find rear sprocket difference between MT07 and this. Is there any reduction?
Nice reporting.
2 mins in and he already made the bike sound perfect
I.M. how did I just find this channel?! I love iconic motorcycles! Love the cinematic excellence! Great job! Definitely much rather have the old generation r7, but like you said I understand the “r7” re launch. I think I’d fully mod a r3 instead and go with the cheaper fz07, than this r7 and also keep my 05 gen r6! Yeah boi!!!!! RIP street R6:( is it legal to street legalize the new race r6 bikes?
At this point, Yamaha has only announced that the R6 RACE will be going to Europe. They will not be street legal.
@@IconicMotorbikes ah dang! Europe and Japan always seem to get the cooler versions of vehicles, 4 wheels & 2. You guys ever think about teaming up with
www.kaplancycles.com for a west/east coast moto event? That’d be sick!
I love this ❤️
I'll stick with my 15 year old SV650 which is basically equivalent
But your sv650 is so ugly.
Nice looking bike
R6 for life! 🥳
DV also gave the reviews on R7 😍😍😍😍
Old is gold . Old R7 Sound hustle
I've been a sportbike fan since the 80s. I could care less about the use of the "R7" title for this bike myself. Having track ridden several liter class sport bikes as well as a couple of Super Sports, on one hand I think "75 HP is nothing". On the other hand I think, my old SV650 was a pretty fun street bike, and on twisty back roads was limited by its cheap suspension before being limited by its power output.
My 2006 R1 came stock with a Brembo radial master cylinder, so this definitely isn't the first Yamaha to come with one.
MT-R7
Had to bust out the original R7 at the end!
We felt like we had to!
Good review... sub
Cakep masbro
I've had my SV650s since 2004, I think this is my next bike.
This is the bike Suzuki should have made 10 to 15 years ago.
Love it ,good one Yamaha.
I think they should have built a SS around the fz09 triple platform. That would have made more sense to me.
the R6 engine sound was my absolute favorite. and it really make me sad to hear it now only track bike.
I gotta admit he's right, this is what the motorcycle community needs. If it attracts a new generation of riders that's a good thing. I'm good with my FZ-07 and R6 for now, but when the R9 comes out I might have a look.
The faux outrage is hilarious. Most have never even seen let alone owned a 90s R7. It's been 20 yrs folks, let it go. It didn't even win a WSC title FFS. Yes it did awesome in BSB but again, long time ago...
We've got 5 pre-orders and have 4 open orders for the R7. Demo Street event is next week at Dreyer Motorsports and hopefully a R7 is on that truck.
i'm one of the next gen who doesn't know about the old R7. So i don't mind at all. And i think Yamaha will bring out the R7 the close the big gap between R7 and R1.
R7 is perfect for me to ride on street and 1-2 trackdays a year.
what the price of the old R7 now?
Around £25,000 in the uk
Whats the top speed
Even How good the new R7 looks but no body can beat the exhaust note of inline 4 motor, this really needed an inline 4 motor with 100bhp power similar to CBR 650R
Will consumer buy it
Yes if they price it similarly to CBR 650R or little higher
And to keep the cost down they have to produce the bike in Asia
Nothing beats the scream of an Inline 4 high up but I actually own an MT07 and I’ve grown to love it a lot. Even though I don’t have an aftermarket exhaust too.
What's the street riding position comfort level? I've owned a FZ-07 on The Big Island and the fun factor is off the charts. That engine is the best and all anyone needs on the street! I would pay the extra grand for the frame/suspension/clutch upgrades with a MT-07 riding position.
It's pretty extreme - the relationship of bars to seat and pegs is almost identical to a R6.
@@IconicMotorbikes Thanks !
Wish they had more colour schemes i like the racing blue but don't like matte fairings as you can't polish them....... Such a shame
Best affordable good looking bike
Dude you have the THE R7? Or at least got to ride it, lucky man. I will probably never even see it in flesh!
We actually have four of them at the moment - the one I rode, two projects, and one that was an ex-BSB race bike:

We also sold this one a couple of years ago:
iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/1999-yamaha-r7-ow-02/
And we've previously sold Damon Buckmaster's R7/R1 racebike:
iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/2003-graves-yamaha-r7-r1/
@@IconicMotorbikes Do you even know how hurt I am with that comment?
There were only 500 ever made and you have four of them? I want in on this business.
Why does it sound like a single cyl bike though? I was hoping that it would sound like the Honda RC51 or at least the MT-07
Have you ever heard a stock MT07? Sounds the same.
For a bike like this, would have been nice for Yamaha to do the US press launch on some twisty public roads like Palomar Mountain / Montezuma Grade in San Diego County. Conditions similar to where it would be likely to be used. I don't think anyone is really going to view this as a serious track bike, including Yamaha.
I get what you're saying, but the R7 is competing in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup and won the first two races of the championship:

@@IconicMotorbikes Hmm, well that is pretty cool!
This bike is fantastic but I wish the handlebars are more comfortable like cruisers. I can afford $30K super bike easy but I am looking for a reliable med power light motorcycle. This bike fits me well but it is out of stock. If you are looking for more power high end bike, there are many available at a higher price but you should not blame Yamaha for offering an affordable bike.
I wait for R9😉😉😉
If this was the CP3, MT09 engine it would be a fun and peppy bike , not the kind of upgrade for R3 owner
V4 review please...
They lowered the buck and also lowered the bang...i believe they will have the same problem
this video make alots of sense why Yamaha make the R7 this way
Yamaha R1 2008 awesome
Damn loud R7 1999 💥
New Yamaha R7 👌
so if i have an r6 now (2007) this would be slower? i mean i could just buy a newer r6 lol
It depends - the R7 makes more power and torque until about 8k, but then the R6 surges way past it. Mostly depends on the riding situation - if you're on the street or in tight stuff vs. on long sweeping corners, that kind of thing.
@@IconicMotorbikes I just sold my 2007 FZ-6 that sorta had the same powercurve as the R6. The lack of power below 4-5k made commuting and inner city riding a nonstop shifting job. I can really imagine that people will love that more power is available where people are gonna be revving it to most of the time.
Top speed?
Yamaha R1 2021🇫🇷🏁
Cost has been ridiculous, i remember when you can buy a 600cc for 6,7 grand and 1000cc for 9,10 grand. Now they are car prices smh
They really should test things with an R9
I hope yamaha sells this with the blinker-mirrors
The blinkers and mirrors will be separate, at least in the US..
@@IconicMotorbikes sad sad
I see some room for little bit upgrade the engine, replace stock muffler, air box and filter, Stock Engine compression 11.5:1 upgrade to 12.5:1 like R25, and remap ECU, hope gain some 4-5HP.
No problem doing that
I mean its mt07 engine, u can mod it out to the ground
Yes they cost to much definitely especially to maintain like tires and such
I get the entry level price point, but why kill off the very capable R6? And going from a 75 hp new R7 to an R1 (as he discusses) is a huge leap. Good review and I'm sure the new R7 is fun to ride, but not for me. Interesting how so many of the comments are about the old Haga R7 at the very end - just shows thats' what people want. Stuff an updated and worked 750 cc inline 4 into a R6 frame. Last time I checked, Suzuki isnt having problems selling GSXR 750s.
Yamaha killed of the R6 due to poor sales and Euro 5 emissions regulations, in their mind it wasn't worth the investment to update the bike for the low number of sales.
@@IconicMotorbikes Thanks for the clarification. Sad to see the middleweight I4's fading away
I guess we'll have to see if Yamahas logic pays out,
Will people go for the R7 or spend a bit more and get cbr650r or aprilia rs660
Not R7 for sure, I got full mt07 so I need more now. And when I say more I don't talk about plastic ahah
The R7 is obviously going to be the value bike when cross shopping the three. An extra $2500 for an RS660 is a big jump to riders on a budget. Yamaha should drop an R9 with the CP3 and keep the price under $11,500 USD. That would really blow things up.
Holy shit it looks so good
Like u would look at it irl like it's an exotic bike
Wow it's the best bike ever seen before it's seem so performance
Its not a yzf-r7 but "only" a r7. For your reasons you mentioned in the beginning. Nice video still!
What are you saying ?
Is it made in Japan?
Yes, it is!
Well you could go from a r6 to a r1 but you cant go from 75 hp to 200 hp. They would need a middle in between.
Beautiful bike ... haven't been on a bike in 5 years, and a sports bike in 10. Might be getting one of these ... just wish they had more colors available !
Yeah, that was also my only major complaint. I really wish they did an Ice Fluro version of this. Bike was really fun though.
What about comfort?
It's got proper supersport ergonomics, so...not great. The relationship between seat/pegs/clipons is basically the same as the R6, the bars are just a couple of millimeters up and back.
Yamaha calls it an “aggressive riding position with consideration to comfort," and I'd say it's roomier than expected (I'm 6'2") but you'd probably want a break after about 50 miles on the street.
Kinda surprised they launched an R7 first. I understand trying to get new riders in the door, but it seems there are a bunch of guys hooked on riding sport that haven't upgraded since 2005 because nothing better has been introduced since then? An R9 would have had every one of those guys lined up at the dealership (including myself). lol Either way, hope an R9 is in the works! Love the direction Yamaha is going!
Yeah, I can't get the idea of an R9 out of my head. So much want!
Yamaha R7 is good👍
that front headlight looks goofy
What a top speed ?
