- Two Dave's, one Yamaha. Either a really odd fetish film, or Obsession Engineering are making a cheap sporty twin better than Yamaha did.
Join the fun as we upgrade the suspension and rearsets and see what difference it really makes.

I've been loving your older sportbike content. Really loved seeing what you did with the R7!
Only Dave can do this right! Well done Dave. I wish I could afford upgraded suspension 😭
You should do time lapse videos of some of the work, watching you furiously pump the forks at 4x speed would be hilarious 😂
Did the suspension on my GSXR 1000 k6 ohlins shock and ktec internals,,as soon as I could after purchase,,also on my SV 1000 ,,best mods ,, and forged aluminium wheels,, need set for GSXR,, saving up 🤑☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland great video 👍
K6 1000 is an animal, I too have a k6 with ohlins ttx and ohlins piston kit up front, brilliant bike!
I'm a huge Yamaha fan. However, it's time they get their 💩 together in the stopping department. Anyone ever heard anything good about the brakes on their modern yamaha road bike? Yeah, I didn't think so. A simple change to EBC DOUBLE-H SINTERED pads on my mt10 made a HUGE night and day difference alone. Yamaha, plz listen.
Most impressive though on looking up the KTech prices I don’t think a 2002 R1 quite reaches the total price of the bike versus the shock 😲😂👍👏👌
You know you’re old when you had a ‘Remove before flight’ key ring from the first time they were in fashion in 1987 and I had it on my GPZ900r, coz Top Gun😂🤦♂️
There will only ever be one R7 in my eyes, can't imagine Haga on one of these 😂
@@J_Dos46agree'd.. theyre a pigs ear of a bike.. nice engine as twins go but that chassis is chunderous.. another grand after all this stuff & this could be replaced by an RS & still be miles better.. just wasted ££s
Loving your videos 👍🏻 and this is another very good one!
Tough choice between this and the rs660.
The rs660 I believe I can probably turn it into a mini tourer and take it to the track when I need to scratch that itch.
R9 when Yamaha!?
660 is faster, better toys, but is more money. It'd still be my choice though
the 2020 R6 fairings are a PITA.
Seems to be a nice bike ,built on a budget,and called the R7 to get Joe public interested, but each to there own , not for me .Great review Dave 👌👌
Ive just got this same bike, interested to know more about the GYTR exhaust FS vs the latest version of Akrapovick exhaust racing line FS, struggling to understand the differences and why you would pick one over the other??
This exhaust is the euro5 road legal Akra system, it's a fair bit lighter and much better looking than the stock system but noise and power aren't massively affected. The tone is a little richer and slightly louder but the main benefits are weight and looks if I'm honest.
seen the news Dave - Marvel HCL Motorsport has announced a move to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship grid for the 2024 season, joining forces with Rapid Training and Honda Racing UK to become Rapid Honda for the 2024 season and with young gun Franco Bourne. are Obsession involved i HOPE Obsession are on the grid HCL your 2023 sponsor ? all the best
Yep, we're doing all the prep
This video goes to show that they will let anyone on a you tube video, nowadays.
Nice to see Dave getting out of Norwich.
He had to have his visa checked on the way back in
How is Dave's RVF doing?
Adam's BOAT bike... There is an update due!
64 BHP, I did hear right I think. Sooner have another R6 thanks 👍
Very different ethos to the R6. It's sporty, but much more of a road bike than a racer. Definitely not as fast though!
What weight version did u go with bro
Take the cat out the front pipe and you’ll have a full system
Voids the warranty though
New riders: Oooh, that R7 is cooool!
Riders my age: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That being said, the 700 twin class sounds very interesting, but as I’m a VFR fanboy, I’ll stay with my 94 VFR RC36
I’ve always liked the supertwin class as I like working on bikes ‘tryna ‘make them better. R7 seems a good start to that class
A 60hp R7?!
Yep. They ain't fast!
Out of the box, yep. Low 70's is viable with a full race exhaust and airbox mods with some mapping. Cams will take that to 90 ish and headwork nudges high 90's. More than that requires the throttle bodies boring out.
@@obsession_engineering bit cheeky of them putting the R designation on it.
Eye wateringly expensive lol
But what price is perfection?
(or at least better 😂)
@@obsession_engineering unfortunately it doesn't have one.
bro, 2000s called they want there go pro back
Brand new drift actually, first time I'd used it so the positioning was awful.
View in the mirrors is crystal clear though......😂
Think it is the og video tape version lol
Your English teacher wants you back to remind you of the difference between their and there.
63bhp? Lol.
Yep, they aren't fast!
