i love how yamaha finally come up with "sport" version of the mt07 but cutting R6 is a BIG MISTAKE! credits for keeping the beautiful tail
The only sport thing in this bike is ECU lol
Bro Yamaha cut the R6 production for a reason. Because the costs associated with Euro5 homologation, and because of the ADV fever which has taken the world, the sales has really dipped for Supersport bikes. And plus 600cc bikes costs almost like a Litre bike. So the Euro 5 upgrade would have made it even more costlier. So Yamaha had to do it. But ya it's Yamaha's and our loss too losing the R6, I loved R6 more than R1 tho.
Right, and even with kawasaki they are stopping there Zx6r and pushing for a 700 cc motorcycle, kinda sad
The R6 sounded better than the R1 and R7.
The straight 4 cylinder is why I liked it.
Yes the R6 is more capable
OC - Had this bike for about a month now. Moving from a ninja 400, this is my grail bike. Its got everything that I wanted for the riding I do and will stay with me along the journey to become a better rider. The R7 is a nothing to prove, no frills bike. It is a forgiving mentor who shows you the kind of pure joy a bike can provide without resorting to mods/rider-aids like some of the bikes its compared to.
One of my roommates put a deposit down on this as soon as they opened it for deposits. She loves it so far. First one in NC if I remember correctly
The camera work of your team is phenomenal.
7:00 Getting a Yamaha into neutral isn't the problem, it's getting it out lol.
just clutch in if you fucked up the shifts and it landed in neutral
Does your’s get stuck in neutral also? I can’t go into first without releasing the clutch and compressing it again. Happens every once in a while.
@@heyitsrayrui rolling forwards or backwards normally works for me
Suzuki has the same problem
@@Zakilgore agreed this is also what I do. Shift while moving the bike slightly.
I love the R7. Makes my ‘19 R6 more valuable💯🦾🔥🏍
lmao
Exactly what I thought
No it doesn't
I think it does the opposite
@@dexterjsullen it definitely does. r6 is a legendary bike and now its gone
It was nice that Yamaha kept the dedicated start button instead of the integrated kill switch/start button.
Nothing like thumbing a start button to bring a bike to life.
The R7 looks amazing probably the best looking bike out now 😍 😀
OC: This is the first moto video I've seen where I knew every road the person was on. You've got a new subscriber now.
Great video! I've pretty much decided on the R7 for my next bike. OC represent! Thanks for the great first ride; looking forward to more R7 content!
Very highly anticipated video!! Haven't watched it yet but I know it's gonna be good! Thank you for sharing, Chase(:
Edit: OC btw ;D
OC!!!!!!!! I have been looking for a 650 class bike for about 6 months now and this video helped me make up my mind, I will be picking my R7 up in April!!!! Thank you so much for the absolutely amazing content for the past few years I have been watching, keep up the great work!!!! You DEFINITELY need one as a track bike.
Thank you for the great video! You provided all the information I've been looking for when researching this bike, so excited for when I can ride again. OC
OC: I say no need to lose weight for track days, especially if any weight comes from CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!
Especially when that chocolate happens to be dipped onto strawberries... (Homer Simpson drools)
OC :😋CHOCOLATE!!!!!
OC: I think if the R7 sparked a genuine drive to visit the track and improve your riding ability you should deff pursue that. I would advise against track prepping it mostly because you seem to enjoy the bike so much regardless of where you are and maintaining that street/track flexibility could turn out to be a more rewarding bonding experience for you and the R7.
I'll actually be 'downgrading' from a '19 Duc M1200S. In NYC summer streets, I'm just tired of getting my thighs cooked. I intend to street and track the R7. NYST is a sick technical track I think you'd enjoy if ever in NY btw.
Im Glad you bought this bike! And I’m Glad you make so much videos with it😍 I’m looking forward to buy one myself. Your videos and your bike are beautiful
I’ve got mine to 133 stock with sprockets done right a full exhaust, performance air filter and a dyno tune she’s a whole different animal. Awesome review man as always! 🤙💯🚀
Chase: This bike was built for the street.
Chase (later): I should get this as a track bike. 🤔 OC
It would make a perfect track bike. I have a race SV650 and has enough power and is easy on tires.
Its basically SV650 S of our time but better
The MT07 is a street bike, the R7 is definitely an entry level track bike.
🇹🇷😱👍
Yep, he keeps contradicting himself . Says it’s more comfortable than an R6 yet says it has the same body position … lol… oh man !
Legit gasped when I saw this on my feed😂
Neat
I am riding my first bike, a SV650S 02 for 2 years now. This is the perfect upgrade I was looking for! Good video! OC
Excellent video Chase! Thanks very much for making it. My R7 (also blue) is on order. Can't wait to get it. Again, thanks.
Yamaha needs to make an r9 and take my money! (I own a 2018 mt09 and love it)
Now that i could get behind, my problem with this is it's trying too hard to be a supersport rather than just a sportbike, sure it has great down low grunt but from the looks of things it has very little up top. R9 would fix that
It would be a horrible business decision to make an r9 when they already have the r1
@@maggie937 2 very different power deliveries, almost like the difference between r6 and r7
@@dzonz4274 sure but just bc something is different doesn’t mean it will sell
@@maggie937 think it would do better than the r7 but who knows
OC: damn that looks like a fun daily bike for me.
Was eagerly waiting for this one!
OC: just got my R7 a couple weeks ago and it is a dream come true. It’s my first sports bike and super easy to ride as well as a very confident feeling ride.
I must be a fool, but I kinda want to downsize from my gsxr 750. I love twins and Yamaha really makes the best sounding engines outside of aprilia.
Yamaha twin is the best sounding bike. (Mt07)
wanna trade? ive got a fz07 lol
@@trevorwotring3945 nah. Not a fan of naked bikes.
Wow, I can understand the the lust but the GSXR-750 is THE sweet spot. 98% chance you will regret the downsize.
As important, you will not be trading any ergos for more comfort.
@@salskars6637 you’re probably right. I’ve had quite a few bikes and I realize speed isn’t really what I want. More of agility, handling, low torque, and sound. Inline 4s don’t do it for me in the sound dept, though I love the gsxr. I just need to ride it and the rs660 and see if it’s worth selling.
Best content so far this 2021 ! Best bike too ! OC btw 🔥
Thanks so much Chase
I been waiting for this video, Like so serious 🧐
Very professional review. Love it, fantastically surprised by this video!
I watched the yoshimura video of the exhaust on the R7 and man does it sound great 👌🏼
Chase, your audio sounds amazing!! What are you using now for mics and audio recorders??
You really did this video. Respect man!
OC: This bike looks killing
OC: looking into getting my first bike, and it looks like this wouldn't be a bad idea. Good price, hearing good things about it, and makes me crave getting one sooner rather than later. Thanks for the video!
I'm getting one as my first bike at some point. I kinda dislike the idea of getting a brand new bike because I'm afraid of dropping it lmao.
@@northtexasskies3243 if you do drop it it's going to be at a slow speed keep that in mind and you should be good.
Get a r3 or something
It will atleast be forgiving
@@LEXR6 this bike is plenty forgiving.
not a fan of yamaha anymore but i am a fan of ur videos! i love ur reviews and videos some of teh best videos on TH-cam
Great review, thanks for taking the time to make it!

team OC 😉👌🏼
Really love to see a first ride on the new monster chase!
Oc!! Great vid!! Great Bike!! Gonna get this when its available in the Philippines!!
i'm riding a 350 naked bike, this will be my second bike no doubt about it, i want something sport, like an R1 (looks) but not that powerfull and this is exactly what i want
R7 has plenty of power with the looks to match, amazing 🏍
@@boris2997 and my zx6r will absolutely smoke it.
@@elonmust7470 and my R1 will smoke your 6
This is the first strong contender to the Ninja 650 in my opinion.
I'm actually torn now, on which to aim for.
I think im still slightly in favor of the Ninja 650 thanks to the even power band and the exceptional seat / ride comfort. But this is the first time ive been really intrigued by the Yamaha side of things. I'm gonna have to do some hard thinking.
@Baleur i am 100% with you on that 💯 both bikes are Great but I just love the Ninja 650 more 💪🏼
@@sanabriaisrael8 I’m in the same boat but over time my choices have changed from the ninja 650 to the ninja 400(for beginning track days) to the ninja400, rs660(for the whole street/track/tech package), cbr650r(for that beautiful scream), and the r7(since I rode the mt07 and loved the punchiness but I’m not so sure about those ergos)
OC great review love the 2022 paint scheme in red white and yellow
I rode up to Laguna Seca from LA this passed weekend. Just hit 1000 miles today. Feels good. Love the bike.
I believe the R6 n R7 are built for two different type of riders. For aggressive riders the R6 is a beast. For chill riders the R7 is an easier ride. But because for the sake of sales n emissions the R7 is more suited to complete the task.
OC.
OC: Personally, I would still go with an R3 for a track bike. My local track is small and technical and I feel like an R3 would be better suited. At my age I also prefer the less aggressive position of an R3 and the lower weight for commuting or street duty.
But r3 is so ugly
He is going to have very good control over his bike! Smart and safe idea!
Great video! Ordered my R7 today!
Solid breakdown. My first bike was a Ninja250r and the last time I rode was in 2016. Really excited about this bike as I’m going back into riding again. Cheers from WA! [oc]
I had the privilege to buy this bike as my first bike and I cannot for the life of me be happier. I’m glad I went with this as opposed to a 600cc or liter bike as a beginner bike. If you’re thinking about purchasing one do not hesitate it does not disappoint!!!!
Its your first bike, you cant recommend this as a good purchase with your limited bike exposure...
@@adilghazanfar519 I never recommended for new beginners to go out and buy one as a first bike. All opinions are subjective and that’s what I was doing. It was a general statement stating the bike won’t disappoint. Take the time to read.
OC: if you decide to have a track bike this would be fun to play with.
OC- Love your videos man, I'll be getting the R7 soon enough!
OC: getting my r7 black in October when it comes out in the UK, can't wait, your vid was brilliant to see what's coming for me!!
So nice, someday I'll have this one....
Keep working and saving 💪🏽
This R7 looks beautiful! :)
Amazing footage 💯💯💯👑
I have been looking forward to this video ever since I heard about this bike.... OC!
Great camera angles really shows how great the bike looks Yamaha really have done a brilliant job with this one.
Even though I have my 2016 MT-07 I needed a Sportbike so I couldn't resist how good the design looks of the R7 which I had to place an order for.
CP2 is awesome fun and sounds amazing with an aftermarket exhaust.

OC Crew: Love the video. Would loved to hear your thoughts on this bike as an entry bike. I have a deposit on my racing blue r7 coming Q4. Stoked for your upcoming content throughout the month.
I got a zx6r 636 for my first bike. It worked out for me
@@supergrizzidentity Nice! The R7 will be my first bike. Been waiting a long time!
@@danielgoddard4409 you’ll love it. I ride a Harley now, and it seems like it’s more tough to ride a heavy bike than a sportbike

Thanks Chase, I'm upgrading my R3 to the 7!! Will have it next month
Another great video from you ! Respect from france
Man, the sound check part always gets me laughing !😂
Especially with that weak ass motor.

Even a brand new rider?
@@ameerrizvi6743 yes it's middle weight . Not to much power, but enough to have fun and grow into if your a new rider.
OC Great summary. I am in Australia and cant wait till next year.
My cousin just got an r7! Wow 🎉! I have always loved sport bikes! I have it on my bucket list!
Can't wait to see GixxerBrah put this bike to the test 🔥❤🥰
Bro same 🤣 wanna see how good he can wheelie it too
Oc weight loss is always great. I'm tempted to get the r7 but I might wait a year or 2 to let the bugs get worked out. But itd be a great 3rd bike
Bugs??? It's nothing new. It's a MT07 with fairings... 🤷♂️
What does OC mean, I keep seeing it in the comments?
@@NinjaKid1985 actually its much more, but electronically and engine wise its nearly the same ye.
So there are no bugs to speak of, the bike will be 10x more reliable than nearly any 600cc supersport
@@superkai6483 of course
@@shuttzi9878 The "electronics" on the r7 are not new technology for yamaha..............
OC: can't wait for more info and videos on the r7, debating on getting one
Nice video dude. thanks! looking forward for more R7 videos ^^
First thing I thot from your helmet cam view was; ”It looks thin.”
yeah not a great onboard look tbh
Quickshifter is meant for track. Quickshifting at low-mid rpm will be clunky and jerky.
Love and watched all your videos since last couple years, i really hope this bike come to Malaysia, cant wait to have one, oh yeah “OC”
Awesome bike review OC
OC: First thoughts: Damn that bike looks boxy from the top view
@12:25 SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Speedmeter was going up like how i get up in the morning.. slow and lazy.
Yamaha made a trash bike in the name of 700cc
O.C. Thank You Sir for info. Really helped make my decision on getting one.
O.C. This video is making me really warm up to the idea of a Yamaha R7 as my daily rider and beginner track bike.
Damn that’s beautiful
Agreed
OC: I am wondering how it behaves in the rain. Would appreciate some opinion once you get in one. Cheers
Really great video
OC - thanks For the great video. Laid my R3 down and now down and out for healing, cannot wait to get back on the road here in Atlanta to see y’all on the road. My R3 does not have ABS and that would have saved me in my case. Be safe and ride on.
I just locked my [non-ABS] front wheel a few weeks ago to not hit a semi. (Extremely tight mountain road, he drove through the oncoming lanes to make the corners.) I didn’t go down, thankfully, but I definitely see why ABS exists!
@@f308gtb1977 glad your good! Yup on the ABS, I am thinking ill be getting an RS660 as it has a bit more advanced safety mechanisms.
Really hoping for a 900 version to compete with the Daytona
If they drop an R9 with the CP3 I wouldn't be able to commit insurance fraud with my R6 fast enough
Seriously contemplating swapping out my R6 for this bad boy. Love the MT-07 engine. Love even more the super sport look and feel. Just don't know if I can part with the good ol' R6 I've had for almost 6 years!
Same
R7 way less power compared to your R6
You should keep the R6 and buy the R7 as a daily.
Terrible idea
Don't get rid of your r6, your basically gonna have the same bike but less powerful motor
Hey, that's one review that I have been waiting for since the press thing and though I prefer naked bikes I have got to hand it to the R7 it is prettier than the MT 07 and from your review does even sound more practical or applicable for daily use. Great bike.
I've been waiting for this
I'm digging these new 100hp-ish street oriented sport bikes.
Nothing wrong with a middleweight twin but it's barely over 70.
Sorry bud, ain't nowhere near 100hp, I had an MT07 which is around 70hp and now ride a Z900RS which is around 100hp, big difference in power!
@@mattihnen2764 man , you don't need more than a 100hp lol ,i used to race a 220 hp race prepped R1 , and I'm saying this lol.
@@p.chakraborty4453 yeah I agree, what is your point though!? I was simply saying the comment about "digging these 100hp sport bikes" makes no sense as the R7 is nowhere near that kind of hp.
@@mattihnen2764 yeah, i meant that this is enough power, it's not the lowest level at least ..
Yeah , it still kind of makes sense cuz of bikes like this for example, CBR 650R , RS660, CB650R, e.t.c. very close to the 100hp mark.
Great looks, outstanding engine but the agressive riding position is a deal killer for me.
Haven’t watched you since the white truck vids it’s so nice to see this
OC .... this was a amazing video....this is gonna be my next bike thank you for a great video
I would love to see a comparo between the R7 and the ninja 650!
Chase hows the health :D you look a little "healthier" than prior :D and now with a mullet haha rock it out!
OC I'm sold on this bike.. it was between this bike and the 2022 ninja 650 and watching your videos have helped make a decision.. now time to go ride both myself and pick one.. very thorough and informative tips and advice.. I appreciate it very much 🙏
Safe riding
So what decision did you make? these are also my 2 options just not sure which one to go with
This with an ECU Flash, MWR Air Filter, and Toce Exhaust would be the perfect bike for street and track. Oh and those panels up front will look so good when swapped out with Moto-Composite’s Carbon Fiber panels. 👌🏼
OC: I think the R7 would make for a nice track bike for me as I haven't done a track day yet and want to do a couple of them a year.
Yes you do need a track bike I would like to see how would you make this bike look and perform better with aftetmarker parts before you make it in to track bike plzzzzzzzzzz get it
I second that.
Best soundcheck ever 😄
OC: Great review. Bought the MT 07. Love the CP2
I love the look of it but I can’t justify $9000 for a parallel twin when I could go get a a ninja 650 for about $1000 less or even get a zx6r for $1000 more. I think Yamaha would’ve nailed this if the bike was a little bit cheaper. Great video though!
or the mt07 and thats cheaper
the ninja 650 is a parallel twin too, which doesn't sound as good as the r7.
And I wanna know where you're getting zx6r's new for 11k.
But you also have to remember, insurance and stuff is quite different
facts the triumph trident is cheaper and has electronics and more premium build quality i think its very overpriced. but i’d still buy one just not at msrp
@@Daniel-dj7fh brand new zx6rs are $10,199 at dealerships around me
@@Daniel-dj7fh I’m in North Carolina and at the dealerships here you can get a 2021 zx6r for 10,200. But the insurance thing is a good point
OC: I’m thinking about getting into bikes I’ve rode dirt bikes and things of that nature, could this possibly be a perfect starter street bike?
I started with a 600 gsxr ngl droped it a couple times but not while riding but if you got the balls and brains I’d say yes
I definitely think it could be a good starter bike, for someone of your riding background.
@@gunnnuts7784 yeah, and this isn’t even like the GSXR 600, or the R6 for that matter.
Definitely
Currently have a 2015 R3, wanted to get into riding for cheap and I’m still in school so I just wanted to get something fun to ride around and be comfortable with. I was looking forward to upgrading to something bigger after college. But in the sport bikes, the insurance prices are very high where I live. When Yamaha announced their R7 I was hoping they’d make something more for the road than track, more accessible and that could close the gab between the R3 and the R6 (sadly it somewhat replaced the R6). So I’m pretty thrilled so see what they’ve made. Now I know what bike I’ll be buying next.
I should be picking mine up this upcoming week got it on pre order in black THIS is the video i’ve been waiting for
How do you like it brotha
Man a mt07 and r7 comparison on the street would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥...oc
