- YAMAHA R7 (2022) Review | R7 Engine Sound | We Test The Latest New-Breed Sports Bike | Visordown.com
The new 2022 #Yamaha #R7 has officially landed and to find out how this new breed of sports bike handles, we sent Toad off to Almeria to try the bike on the road and the track.
With the engine out of the all-conquering MT-07, the new Yamaha R7 features a heavily revised frame, suspension, and R series bodywork.
Here’s what we learned about the new bike.

Real world bike you can use to its full potential .... We all fall into the trap of buying super powerful bikes ... With power we cannot use
You can use it - just need to pick your time and place (ideally, on a track, of course).
@@kierenmoore3236 not really.... You've got the 200 plus motorcycle with 200 bhp sportsbike..... You're on the road I'm talking UK and use it ....no way....... And I'm not talking straight line rubbish.... I'm talking in the corners.... Of course you can't.... Track is not relevant for a road bike purchase for most.... Also on track For most 600 has potentially faster corner speed
@@stesrad … What are you talking about?! 600cc super sports don’t have anywhere near 200bhp, but they have significantly more than 70bhp … If you can ride, you can use it …
@@kierenmoore3236 just making the point on track corner speed can be higher on a lower power bike ...so peak power is not relevant...why do supermoto bikes walk over sports bikes in corners ...you are unable to use 200 bhp ... dreamer !
True but 74bhp really isn't much at all.
Love the new design of the R7. The R15 V4/ R15m also has the same design as the R7 looks like as well. R7 is a nice bike to ride, worth to buy it.
Can’t wait to get this for my first bike! That black is gonna look sweet
Black is the worst colour … actually, isn’t it a total absence of colour? 🤔. Always looks dirty, too … 👍🏼😎👍🏼
Red & white 👌🏻
That is cool bike but give mea " super sport" version of the Triumph trident 🙏
I have a 2016 MT-07 still and did have a reservation for a Blue R7 which I cancelled as I ended up getting the Toyota GR Yaris Circuit Pack.
Now with the new R7 60th Anniversary edition livery it's tempting to try and get a hold of one.
R7 is an awesome looking machine with real world power which can be fully used everyday.
So exited for this to be my A2 bike, so glad it's bassed of the Mt 07 meaning I can install there restrictor kit
Hi Toad. Very nice vid. Can you inform us about ease of maintenance on your reviews such as access to oil filter and drain plug, is fairing removal easy etc.
I can try, to be fair on a launch it's all fairly hectic. With this model the access to oil filler and filter etc will be same as MT-07, although I'd imaging you'd need to remove much of the plastics to get to it all.
Great review. Making my decision even harder. I really like this bike. That Akra exhaust on there... ooooo mmmm ggggg..... Sweet soundin!
The target demographic for this bike mostly don’t know or care about the original R7. Nameplates get recycled often in the automotive industry and the older generations cry fowl while the new generations are unaffected.
Looks awesome. Power that is not over the top. Count me in. I want one
You need your CBT first, then work towards your big licence 👍
@@Wayneebrum have a full.licence. passed in 1986. Was a motorcycle instructor in 1995 with a company called CSM rider training in Nottingham. Also rode off road bikes gor the police for 3 years. Oh and was a mod do had both vespa and lsmbretta scooters for years
This bike is actually a lot nicer looking in person than in pics!!
It really is. It’s much more than just an MT-07 in a party dress when you ride it too!
Say one was to purchase it for a stunt bike could one fit this wheel tire set up with some eurotrail tires 50 street/50 trail?
why not just by an MT-07 for the job?
@@visordown i dig fairings with gobs of torque and thinner chassis for more wheelie control 🤣
Not sure why they made the position so aggressive.
It’s an R series bike, they are all fairly sporty. It’s not going to put many off, and once on the move it all makes sense
Lol, that's not aggressive position 😂😂😂.
MT-07.
Terrific street bike.
Would you pick this R7 or the Aprilia RS660?
The answer is, can you afford the Aprilia?
Yeah, it’ll come down to price. There is a lot of bike for the money in the Aprilia and Yamaha, although much of the tech on the Aprilia simply wouldn’t get used for me
is this bike gonna be a2 legal if restricted?
Yup!
From A Converted MT07R (Race Version of MT07 used in moto america) To A Sportbike with a Same engine. It Deserves The Name R7 even if its not the original ones.the would be very controversial but one moto journalists own the OG R7 Clearly Understand What Yamaha did.This Should make Sense. If You want to Know More.. Try To Check the Norton Motorsports. He will explain the concept of the new R7.
2 cylinders are sounding better and better recently or is it just me.
Crossplane magic! The GYTR bike in the video sounds very sweet!
It's just you. 4-stroke twins sound awful. They always did. The only 'twin's that ever sounded decent were 2-stroke twins. RD350, RGV250, KR1S etc.
I watched this video on the back of the title...... Hoping that Yamaha had released an in-line 4 750cc bike with loads of power and trick bits..... How disappointed I was when I discovered it's basically a learner bike with unexciting power figures and an exhaust note that sounds like a wet fart.
A 1998 GSXR750 would run rings around this..... And it'd sound a lot better too. 😮💨
I will buy R15M in India similar to this one in less prizes... Very awesome bikee
Great. How much is the damn thing?
8200 HALLELUJAH!
You caught up now!? 😂😂👌🏼🏍💨
@@visordown I've been wanting to know that for MONTHS.
No power and uncomfortable...perfect.
Like what's the point then.. What was wrong with the R6?
I was being sarcastic. This is just a beginner big bike. I'm fed up with people calling it a supersport.
Accurate summarisation. 👌
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Why did they go out of their way to make a sportbike that anyone 6 feet tall basically cant ride it for more than 15 minutes. Its not a competitive sport bike so why make the ergos like its a GP bike? Does Yamaha think that all their customers will be trailering this bike to tracks solely? There are plenty of ways to make ergos fit riders taller than your Mother and still promote a stance amenable to racetrack handling.
So the RG500 wasn’t Supersport? The FZR400R wasn’t a Supersport either… neither of those had 200BHP, I’m pretty sure they will still be regarded as a Supersport bike.
Looks lovely but with a dodgy back and a regular pillion, sadly not for me.
The bike itself looks fine , the engine however meh , got a 20 yr old 125 yes a Yamaha tzr 125 r 4dl that is only 17 mph slower so if your in Lincolnshire and a 125 blasts past you on the twisties one sunday afternoon you'll be a bit miffed if you buy one of those new R7's and can't keep up with a pocket rocket from the late 90's , I myself would opt for something else say a street Triple
But would those bikes make it through Euro5?
@@visordown wouldn't care myself all I know is every time I get on the old girl I feel 20 again 😁 and it's a lot of fun 👍
@@karlchandler5824 well fair play, email us a picture of it and let’s go for a head to head, TZR vs R7, and you get to ride the R7 too.
Contact us via Facebook and let’s make it happen! 👌🏼👌🏼🏍💨
No thanks. Give me an MT09 SP please.
Why would I pay almost 5k more for a bike that's literally only 8mph faster than an r3
Just a note, it’s around 15-20 mph quicker (if you’re the kind of kid that worries about that) and is £3k more.
@@visordown That's funny being the top speed of the r3 is 115 to 119mph and at $4500.00. I work for Toyota I know what it cost to build our top of the line highlander. I've got a pretty good understanding of what the production cost and time is and it's not even 5k. I'd say with current inflation the mark up is 600%probably more. The bike isn't impressive in the slightest.
Everything you said, Toad, plus, Yamaha can name their bikes whatever the hell they want... People have way too much free time on their hands
It wont sell in the UK I'm afraid
Sure, there will some devotees and lots of people will say it's a real world sports bike and all that old cobblers...but they wont buy it
When it comes down to it, sports bike are emulations of race bikes and glamourous race bikes at that
I mean who follows the 650 twins racing that goes on at outback circuits like Angelsey and so forth - Dave & Iris and their dog Stan that's who, with their flasks and cheese sandwiches
It's a shame as it does seem to be a nice bike but, no cigar I'm afraid
I wouldn’t be so sure about that. The A2 market is strong, and proper A2 sports bikes, either hard to come by, or quite pricey!
@@visordown I hope I'm wrong! We need more bikes coming through for sure.
But when a Trident or Tiger Sports 660 can be restricted too, why have a sports bike when an all-rounder is a much better bet?
Plus, selling on one of these compared to say a TS 660 - no comparison
@@visordown as a rider myself I've just got my A2 license and have this bike pr ordered for November, Im Trying to steer more people to the low power sport bikes. In comparison aswell this bike whipes the floor with the other A2 sport bikes like the ninja 650 and cbr650r
The comfort of a hypersport race bike and half the power of most of the competition? So, it’s frustrating on track with other similarly sized bikes and it’s miserable around town. Fun combination!
If the bike isn’t designed to be ridden at the limit … maybe it doesn’t need industry leasing discomfort any time you’re perched on it.
Does sound like an R1, or the R6 formula. The R3 is still a powerhouse for engines of that size and the comfort is more present for every day stuff.
The R7 shouldn’t have an R badge. If they named it something else it wild to be collated as directly to other R bikes.
The all-new R7 … as uncomfortable as the old one, with a fraction of the power … !! And just £500 extra for Bold New Graphics, that actually look good … !! For the beginner who can’t wait to blow their money on a brand new, stepping-stone bike … !!”
Ridiculous R7 have the 2 cylinder engine of the MT07
+£500, for one that actually looks good, too … 😏
That headlight is an eyesore. Otherwise, the bike looks like a good bit of fun. I’d still rather have a CBR650r.
The headlight is a tiny LED, it literally couldn’t be any smaller!?
“No shit, Sherlock”?! … Classy … Their main point is, the nomenclature is inappropriate … MT-07R, or almost anything else you could imagine, would have been more appropriate/informative and less misleading …
Why would Yamaha make a sports bike that sits apart from the rest of the R family? It just makes no sense! Plus, the MT range is for naked bikes, not faired sports bikes…
So they gave it the R name because the name is important. But, they don’t want it compared to the smaller and SIGNIFICANTLY better and more powerful R6 or any of the other supersport 600cc bikes ….
Good luck with that.
This will be eaten by any older R6, CBR600 or Ninja 600. And with those you get the performance to go with the rider discomfort.
@P!nned by Visordown Motorcycle Video Who the fvck are you?
All show not much go👎
Pointless bike
Absolutely perfect bike for the A2 class in Europe and the uk, almost tripples the size of the potential buyers. I belive I read a study where 60/70% of bikers never pass onto the full A licence after getting there A2. Meaning the R6 had 60/70% smaller of a market to appeal to and sell to
When you put it like that aren't all bikes a bit pointless. I mean, what's the POINT in having 200bhp when the speed limit is 70mph.
