I love my R7. It’s more than enough power for the streets. Everyone just wants to dick measure with speed lol
👍🏻 True
fr, the r7 is way better for street cause it actually has usable power down low.
Most of the people hating on the r7 are people that cant afford a bike to begin with.. i have a 2021 zx10r and have had it since 2021… bought me a 2024 r7 recently as a second bike and love it.. haters gonna hate 🤙 ride your ride
this is the reason for the hate, the og r7: Here are some specs for the 1999 Yamaha YZF-R7, also known as the OW02:
Engine: 750 cc, DOHC 20-valve inline-four engine with a single-unit cylinder block and crankcase, titanium connecting rods, and twin injectors
Power: 106 horsepower (79 kW)
Frame: Aluminum Deltabox II frame designed to handle extra horsepower
Suspension: Ohlins upside-down front fork and Ohlins rear suspension unit
Dry weight: 189 kg
Other features: Fast-idle lever, which was a feature of early fuel injection systems
@@jonnyignacio3821 bro half the people that hate on the R7 wasnt even alive in 1999
@@BoxingLegends2024 who cares what they think, in my take, their cent dont make a dollar. it's those who know, and are knowledgeable of the history of the R7, i am talking to them....and yes it was very disappionting that they put the r7 name behind a started bike...a frecking STARTED BIKE. r7 was a true race bike...it would scream down the road sounding like a formula one race car.
Saying people who hate on the R7 cause they can’t afford the bike, ur an actual clown. Buddy it’s not worth for the performance you get. $10k for a twin cylinder and some torque 🤡, yeah Imma pass on that and I’m not saying speed is everything. I’d much rather buy an R3 for half the price if you want to city/street ride. I’d buy an R7 out of curiosity if I wanted to throw money away.
its not because they cant afford it.....its because its a slow R sport bike.....700cc sport bike should have double the hp
I’ve had 600s…1000s and honestly my r7 is my top bike…like you mentioned..way more usable power and honestly comfortable for me. It’s great on fuel and a very reliable engine… the only complaint I find myself thinking about is if it had a little bit more power…but than I look back and think I’m at that age where I don’t need to be going 160+ anymore…I’ve had mine 21 months and have over 15k miles! Do not regret getting it ❤
I'll take the RS660 over the R7 because of the more comfottable riding position
@@dariomladenovski7047 because the rs660 is a sport touring bike not a super sport bike
I have a 2023 R7 and I think it is great for the streets. It might not have the top speed of the R6, but the 0-60 times are pretty much the same. I'm 46 years old and I honestly don't care about the top speed. The acceleration is pretty fun though.
I am 58 and had my fill of 160+mph bikes when I was younger, the R7 with the proper mods gets from 0-100 almost as fast as an R6. My biggest issue with the R7 is it makes me want to act like a 20yr old kid and go do some track days again LOL. 😉🤘😎🏍
@@ThisOldGuy3 I hear ya on the making it want you to act like a 20 year old again. I just added the quickshifter, the DNA stage 2 air filter thing and got it tuned by 2wheel dynoworks. It feels like a different bike now.
@@jadams821 I have the full Akro race system the Yosh airbox and the 2wheels tune and 2 wheels said it probably added 10-12HP which is a big gain. She definitely is peppier and pulls longer through the revs.
Same story on my GSX8R. Only need torque. Don't care about top speed.
@@ChitChat The fun is had in the twisties not the straight line speed.🤘😎🏍
the ones who hate on it all think it’s an R6 replacement. it’s not an R6 replacement, it’s a different model for the city and suburbia. until the R9 comes out, the R7 will remain the definite city sportbike, no need to rev it to shit, doesn’t cook your balls at red lights, has power on tap, all that city goodness. it’s not for the straight line highway bois.
the R9 will still disappoint them. those R6 riders can never be pleased unless the replacement is another 4 cylinder engine. the 3 cylinder mt09 engine makes less horsepower but more torque. they will cry when their R9 goes 10 mph slower than their R6
@@kushpaladinThe R9 will still be a way faster bike thanks to the torque. It will definitely feel faster too. I’ll take the R9 over the R6 any day!
@@kushpaladin 10mph lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll more like 50
people forget that the R7 was mainly made for EU license regulations. u can buy one and restrict it for A2 license which makes it one of the best supersport motos for A2
More so the riders/community gets hate.
The bike for what it is. A beginner to mid power bike, it’s fantastic.
It’s the fact that everyone is acting as though this is a super sport with a super sport price tag.
it only gets hate from people who don't ride! the bike is always sold out everywhere you look for a reason! lol
Im a litre bike owner, but I reckon those little twins are awesome bikes, especially on a race track. The Yamaha R7 and Aprilia RS660 are deffo in my good books
Nobody I know hates this bike. If you go looking online you can find hate for almost anything.. and I don't give a wooden nickel what any of them think. This bike is so much fun.
It’s impossible for me to hate this bike, or any other bikes, this sounds amazing & I’m planning to get one as my first bike
Passing the fact that the R7 was not designed to be fast, the thing that I hate about it is the suspension. It sucks
I just got a 2024, it’s a great bike. If you’ve got experience on a 250 dirtbike or 450 you will be fine. If you’ve never driven a motorcycle this is definatley not a beginner bike.
same thing I always tell people as long as you rode a 250 2T or 4504T or even a ninja 300 or 400 you will be fine but if you never drove any kind of bike with a clutch & gears this is NOT the first bike to buy just buy a ninja 400 or a cf Moto 300 ss or a R3
As mentioned in the video, its a killer track bike. Its a hawk. It dives so beautifully and its a nice narrow bike. It just needs to be modified for track. Rearsets, brakes and tyres to get to basic to intermediate track riding.
hey man i got my r7 recently well its limited due to a2 license here in europe but the torque that it has its something incredible i ride to school everyday defenetly the cooles bike at school
They should have gave it few more pony's like 90 / 100bhp that said I bet its still fun in twistys
I have an MT07 and absolutely love it, it's an absolute blast to rip around town on. Did not buy it for fast highway pulls
i'm a newbie and i think the R7 is nice! It does have a lot of low RPM torque, which you need to respect at times cause you jump MPH very fast at low RPM without noticing it
Just got the GSX 8R. Right in the same class. These mid range inline 2's are killing it on the street. Absolutely love it at red lights and don't care my buddy eventually starts pulling away on his zx6r doing 130mph. I'm good.
yeah in line 2s they hace such torque i love it
I think it looks nice. However I prefer the rumble that the Honda CBR650R makes. I also perfer the hondas headlights.
It seems to be a good bike. But with the recent loss of the r6, you can't blame people for thinking this is supposed to be an r6 replacement and in a way it is. Also, it is still supposed to be a sports bike. You can't blame people for thinking they just slapped more plastic on a mto7 esentially. They perform almost the same
Most of the hate are from people who don’t ride or aren’t very good and ride a clapped out 2000s liter bike. I ride a 22 SF V4S and I’d love to have one of these as 2nd or track bike build. GYTR builds for the R7 are not cheap.
yup! its just a bunch of people on social media who dont even ride! Every dealership you go to the R7 is sold out or reserved lol
I'm just salty they didnt do the CP3 yet. The R7 makes a lot of sense in a lot of ways, but to not have the R9 to fill the gap to the R1 is weird to me. I dont hate the R7, its just not for me.
The R9 gets released in the UK March 2025👍
Great content. I recently bought an R7. Riding 19 years on and off between 300-900cc bikes. The R6 is an amazing street and track bike, but comparing an R7 to a R6 is like comparing a R6 to a R1 in my opinion; you’re going to see significant difference.
The R9 is going to be a more appropriate comparison the haters will surely be happy to jump all over when that time comes.
Have an R7 also. More than enough for today's roads
I love my R7. picked it up after i passed my UK MOD2 and i will never look back! When justifying why there are a few things to consider. 1. Plenty of power upgrading from a 125 2. Good Value for money 3. I didnt to want kill myself. Never did a test ride, just bought it. put 3 grand into accessories and I made it my own. Do not regret my purchase!! My brother rides a 1050 speed triple and is JEALOUS of my bike........My brother has been riding since he was 18 and is now 52, still says my bike is better than his. I can only assume that on the R7 i can get more out in the twisty's and generally much more fun bike. Ride your ride and stay safe!
Everyone hates on it because it’s not what the R6 was. Now, with that being said, it’s definitely a more well-rounded every day sport bike . I’ve been thinking about getting the Ninja 650 or the R7. I’m considering the Yamaha because I want that true sport bike triangle & it’s not much more in price.
Wear gear & stay safe🇺🇸
I test drove a 2024 R7.. and totally loved it.. so i bought one, in blue. In the real world of speed.. its got more that enough power and i love the engine ! Thanks for the great review and yes the suspension could have been slightly better over the bumps. Subscribed.
Idk if it’s so much the bike itself as what Yamaha gave up to put it in that category.
i don’t think you understand, the issue is the ridiculous pricing for the equivalent of an sv650
10k for a R7 is not ridiculous price! hell if ur broke with decent credit like my lil bro you can get the damn thing for $120 a month
@@BoxingLegends2024$10k is bad for the performance you get. Also, you’re a 🤡 for thinking that financing a bike is a smart decision.
I love my r7, F the haters.
But why do you clutch so aggressively
Excellent review and the LCD screen is definitely a shortfall and on point. It's a great track bike as I have taken it on smaller tracks as well as COTA. Yes, 600cc inline 4's will pull away on the back straight, but if you have track experience, and the 600cc riders aren't as experienced, you will be rewarded after the back straight when you overtake on the curves. If you want a fast straight line bike, get a Diavel or an H2R. for small tracks, the R7 is an excellent bike for both new and seasoned track riders.
anyone who gets on this thing with no pre-conceptions loves it, its the people who like to mob on highways who have an issue because 600's and litre bikes easily out pace the R7. but for anybody who wants to live to see 40 whilst also having a fun bike knows that this is absolutely the best bike for it.
Absolutely, and I'm a proud owner of one
it gets a bunch of hate because 4 cylinder riders talk crap about anything that doesn't have 4 cylinders. me personally, a parallel-twin is my favorite type of engine for daily riding.
Yes I agree. 600s leave me in the straights but can't keep up in the corners. Majority of people that hate on the R7, Ninja 400, and similar can only ride fast straight. But let them follow you into the mountains and they crash.
Love my 2022 R7 bro. Most people hating on R7s actually don’t even ride lmao. It’s a perfect flickable street bike, no shit you’re not going to be doing 40 rolls against liter bikes on it.
It is a lot of bike to grow into while not being to much for beginners. I think it is a great bike. It just doesn’t compare in anyway to the R6, which isn’t a beginner bike or not nearly as budget friendly. The difference in yearly cost between a 2018 r6 and a 2023 R7 is argument enough for the r7. It just doesn’t compare. Better suspension would have been nice but it really isn’t necessary, even for track riders.
I love my R7.....
I don't know anyone that hates this bike. It's a great bike, if you hate it, you can't ride, just like this guy.
Ask Yammie Noob that question? 😅😂😂🤣 Honestly I think it's a good bike. However the Suzuki 8R out performs it Yamaha should have make it a 3 cylinder instead of two cylinders.
In person, all I have ever heard about mine is positive things and it gets proper bikers excited to see something different for once. All I'm gonna say is that the social media bike community has attracted some weird people. Either way no matter the bike / rider much love people and ride safe!
If you got rid of cameras & social media most of these people wouldnt even ride
The only thing i don’t like is the sound. It doesn’t suit the looks
Why do people compare a beginner bike to the 600cc class? Ain't yall ment to know what your talking about but you can't tell the difference between beginner and advanced bikes
Would you recommend this bike for someone who is 6,2?
you will be a little tall on it but then again you would be tall on all sport bikes lol
It's tall rider friendly. Just go try it on at the powersports dealer.
is it a noticeable difference of power and get up speed compared to the Ninja 300/400 class? Curious, I learned for a year on a 300 and maybe in the near future looking to get something.
Great video, I'm looking for a sport bike for summer and im stuck between getting a 600 like r6/cbr600rr/gsxr600 or the yamaha r7. The sound of the 600s makes me wanna go for the 600 instead of the r7 haha. I dont even mind that the r7 isnt that powerful cause its plenty of power for the street. Do you have a stock exhaust on your r7? I need to see some custom exhuast sounds maybe theres an exhaust that makes the r7 open up a bit but definitely wont sound like the 600s haha
you cant even hear the bike with a stock exhaust on a R7 lol thats not stock exhaust he has
Probably because that exhaust note. It sounds terrible
I hate mine too slow and sounds like a lawnmower
what camera and setting are u using kinda smooth
You always be doing some hand gestures when you talk😂
They should have probably gone after the GSXR 750 market and made it an inline 4.
I’m having mixed feelings about having this as my first bike
I don't think it's the power it's because it's people say it's replacing the r6. IF this is the theory that means people will hate the R9 when it replaces the R1
even knowing that its not the case those same people will still hate the R9 & say its replacing the R1 even tho they know its not
The R7 is great except for that clutch wire blocking the interface lol
you can tuck it behind the clamp it wont hurt it
What's ur camera settings
I don’t think people hate it. It’s a good bike. But when people claim it can hang with a ZX6R or CBR600, that’s when the heat starts. And the price for this bike is just silly.
Bro the original zx6r adjusted for inflation is like 17k. The r7 is just over 9k in today’s money. Whaat r you talking about
well it sounds like dirtbike and it looks like sportbike.
I want to see what the r9 will be like👍
Great bike
Mostly because of the massive crater-sized gap left by the departure of the R6. The R6, like the R1, was a definitive YZF-R sportbike. Screaming inline fours with superbike and supersport respective HP numbers, aluminum spar frames and swingarms, fully adjustable suspension, the whole nine yards. Then Yamaha slaps an "R7" on what is essentially an MT07 with flashy running shoes, and we're expected to accept it as an "evolution"? It isn't. At least not the one we wanted. And yes, there's more to the R7 than just a set of plastics on an MT07. But it's still a steel frame, steel swingarm, lower spec, limited adjustment suspension, and the lower price point fit and finish of the MT07. Not bad per se, but not to the levels of the YZF-R sportbikes of yesterday. Brand new riders have no frame of reference, so to them, the R7 is just fine. And that's ok. But if the question really is, "Why does the R7 get so much hate?" The answer is that many of us remember and owned the R6 or R1. They defined superbike and supersport. They were focused, flagship models, and premium motorcycles. Yamaha can call it whatever they want, but a 70-hp parallel twin- and a great engine at that- in a steel tube frame with mid suspension just isn't a YZF-R sportbike to a lot of riders. Feels similar to Ford calling the Mach-E a "Mustang" or Yamaha again, classifying all the MTs as "hypernaked". Should you buy an R7? I dunno, it's your money do what you want. Yamaha makes great products. Just understand why your neighbor or buddy with the R6 goofs on you a little bit.
I love the r7 but if I was going to spend that amount that might as well get 2 more cylinders. If I was rich it would be a really fun bike. The reason it gets hate is because most people can only choose one.
the only bike u get for the same amount of money is the cbr650r wich is way heavier doesent have an adjustable suspencion and looks worse, its good for straight lines but it will suck at track or twisties compared to the r7. So ur conclusion makes no sense at all
@@IShadow__PT You cant expect R7 haters to have functioning brains.
@@IShadow__PThe’s saying for 9-10 grand might as well get a 600 -1000.
@@DrakeAWilson yea thats what i said it might make sense in America not in europe 600s here are about 13k
@@IShadow__PT Oh, no, brand new 600's in the US start at 11k and have recently gone up to 13k if your looking for a Honda CBR600rr. I don't know of any manufacturer selling a 600cc inline 4 for 9-10k in the US. I'm thinking he was referring to a used inline 4. The R7 is excellent value for money.
The bike itself isn’t getting hate. Its the people who ride them, y’all act like superheroes and make thirst traps with this bike all over tiktok and youtube😂
they do that with every bike especially the R1 I never seen so many goons in my life buy a R1 just for social media content! like they literally delete all their old videos & start "motovlogs" & buy a R1
I love r7
Love mine
I’m sorry, I got the 2024 and i dislike it 🤷🏽♂️
Because its a powerless mt07 with fairings lmfao... don't get me wrong i've got the fz07 and love it... but that's the thing, it's a naked bike and not trying to be something it's not... i also have a K7 750... get a real supersport if you want a fully faired bike
My GSX8R cuts air nicely on the highway.
ur clueless
@@IShadow__PT how so? please elaborate instead of just making a statement 🤦🏼♂️ unless you’re just not intelligent enough 🤷♂️🤣😂🤣😚
@@IShadow__PT you could drop a little extra get the ZX4RR and have a far better bike than the R7 which has what like 72hp and 50ish torque? If I want to super sport, I’m gonna buy an actual super sport not a naked bike that they threw fairings on and change the gearing a little.
@@chrisnoname3829 less realiable and theres no 35kw version available zx4rr is point less in my opinion
The fragile egos of those that shit on this bike because they are street squids that can’t take a corner would get destroyed by the likes of the R7 or even ninja 400s at the track. As someone who rides a lot of track my favorite track bikes have been my extremely well sorted fz07 track bike and mt09sp. The fz07 is just killer out there, tons of fun
I’d get an R7 in a heartbeat but already have a crazy kitted fz07. Same engine so 🤷♂️

I have to say good video but don't cut that much its distracting
thanks for watching! i agree with you completely, i gotta get better at consistently talking w fewer mistakes so less cuts
alot of people hate on the r7 because alot of the cringe instagram "bikers" who cant actually ride and just do it for attention ride them
they do that with R1s too so whats the difference?
@@BoxingLegends2024takes more balls to be on a r1 regardless 😂
I actually like the R7, fill it up with 87, great mpg's, and get the sportbike experience to some extent... but if your gonna get a sportbike... why not the CBR600RR? IDK, its up to you, if you want more power and have to fill your bike up with 91 premium, the CBR is waiting for you... and so is that GSXR and ZX6R I hear...
It's Yamaha's loyal customers that feel betrayed from the R6 being discontinued for road use.
Being the more hardcore faction in the biker world they are making the most noise.
I can see where they are coming from but we are merely a few years away from the death of the internal combustion engine alltogether and they still haven't got the memo, we're lucky to be able to still have a bike as good as the R7 in 2024.
those bikes are not even in the same price range plus its a whole diff category ppl who get the r7 usually uses it as a steping stone to get to the 600s or 1000s as im doing with my A2 lisence in europe. yall gotta think before you write dumb stuff
@@IShadow__PT Price range for sportbikes/supersports is irrelevant now. Insurance rates are through the roof, so unless you have $$$ to begin with your not buying a sportbike/supersport period. If you can afford the Insurance and tickets and gasoline to enjoy the experience, then you can afford $1000 to $2000 more dollars for the bikes I mentioned over the R7.
