    VIDEO DESCRIPTION
    Yamaha R6 is out and the Yamaha R7 is in. Riders, especially R6 fans are wondering why did Yamaha do it?
    I did a bit of research to tried and understand why updating the MT07 to a Yamaha R7 and discontinuing the R6 might've been a good decision for Yamaha and majority of the riders.
    For relatively new riders or riders who want a sporty motorcycle for street riding, the Yamaha R7 is a good balance between sporty looks and practicality for streets. The competition, therefore, isn't the R6, it's the Kawasaki Ninja 650, the Honda CBR 650R and the Aprilia RS 660. depending on how much money you're willing to spend and your personal preference between brands, it would be worth it to compare them and make your buying decision

      @@RiderXp nothing wrong with it, we all want compliments on our ride lol. I just think it’s silly that they keep trying to make these super aggressive looking bikes in the polite packaging. It’s like putting a Subaru motor into a lambo’s body. Sure, it ain’t a BAD engine, but it ain’t as much as you’re trying to make it look. Kawasaki has the same problem. If every bike is a ninja, even the beginner bike, the supersport becomes a lot less appealing because no one can tell anyway lol. just my opinion

    • @RiderXp
      @RiderXp  3 года назад +1

      Oh I agree! But i can see why Yamaha would want to come up with a product that more people are capable of using to it's full ability or atleast close to it. Although, I think Aprilia is better value for money for what you get in that package... If only Aprilia could fix their service network and parts availability issue, they would've stood a better chance at competing

    I've owned GSX-R 750, ZX-10R, RSV4 and a bunch of other bikes over the last 20+ years. I don't want to want this bike. However, I want this bike.
    I have to admit, I have a bias towards twin cylinder bikes (my old Buell XB12R springs to my mind immediately, the Honda RC51 I borrowed from a buddy of mine also brings back thrilling memories...) and would love to see a larger displacement with more advanced tech derived for R1. Something that would pull in more experienced/advanced riders that don't feel a need to have something like R1.

    • @RiderXp
      @RiderXp  3 года назад +1

      It's definitely getting a lot of attention.. my buddy is a professional racer and he's also quite keen on the R7, So i can already see this bike being a hit with a wide variety of riders. Seems like Yamaha know what they're doing.

    @Motoboo_Marine 3 года назад +1

    I believe Yamaha is going for the same mentality that they used when developing the Tenere 700. A practical bike for the category, just enough tech and upgrades to be worthwile, but not so much R&D it becomes unaffordable. That way it's still accessible to the majority of people. It worked with the Tenere, even though every other ADV bike in the class is pretty much better. Reliable and cheap wins at the end of the day, and I anticipate this to fly off the shelves just like the T7 and MT07 did. It also stands to reason an R9 is in development, since the MT09 is the only bike now that doesn't have an 'R' version.

    • @RiderXp
      @RiderXp  3 года назад +1

      Absolutely! This is exactly in line with Japanese practices of lean and six sigma so I'm not surprised the principles made their way into product development strategies. Just enough bang for the buck that works sustainably!

    Its an upgraded R3 so they should’ve called it the R5. I know what Yamaha was trying to achieve and they did a good job. But the the name R7 implies it’s a faster bike then the R6 which imo disrespect the R6

      Naming it the r7 doesn’t imply it’s faster. It just has more cc’s. There are plenty of bikes like the ninja 650 which is slower than the zx6. It’s just simply about cc’s.

    MT-07 was already the street sport bike. I'm not sure why we need 2 of them. But I do think 100% right that they want to make a sport bike that rides like a street bike. I guess its time for me to look into a R6

    • @RiderXp
      @RiderXp  3 года назад +1

      A lot of people like faired bikes over nakeds, so this might tap into those riders. Obviously, if one is going for performance, R6 is still the best in the supersport class... i ride a zx6r and wish i had bought the R6 before i invested so much money in setting up the kawi for track/racing. But for street riders, the R7 would be great, especially, ones upgrading from little bikes!
