The R7 delivers that linear power the whole way through the rev range – it's like riding an electric bike but in a good way, with effortless acceleration that needs to be experienced to be believed.
The Yamaha R7 sits perfectly between Yamaha's beginner-focused R3 and the track-weapon R1, delivering genuine sports bike thrills without the intimidation factor.T his middleweight proves that sometimes the sweet spot is exactly where you'd expect it to be right in the middle.
That proven cross-plane crank parallel twin produces smooth, linear power that's been refined over a decade of development. The 188kg wet weight and narrow profile make it incredibly easy to filter through traffic, while the fully adjustable 41mm KYB forks work brilliantly for both road and track use. The brakes are sensational, dual 298mm discs up front that'll have you doing stoppies with ease.
At $15,940 for the full-power version and $14,849 for the LAMS-approved model, it represents solid value in the sports bike segment. The electric blue paint job with matching wheels creates a distinctive look that's unmistakably Yamaha.
For riders wanting genuine sports bike performance without the complexity, the R7 delivers Yamaha's proven formula in a beautifully balanced package.
