Today is the last day of the Scorpion Helmets flash sale! Head over to yammienoob.co and get 10% off of all Scorpion Helmets.
Hey yams, how about a video on the kawi z1000 bikes over the years? I got a 2013 model this year and I feel they're pretty underrated and don't get much love.
Yes i do , haven’t even watched yet but still buying one
I'm going to get mine Tuesdays and really wouldn't care what any review says.... hadn't watched yet either bro...I WANT THAT BIKE!
@@heymr.sowhatareyousaying5831it’s not a worthy bike for the r name
@@heymr.sowhatareyousaying5831 you understand
@michaeldirosa5292 So does the girls that say they don't, but we still like them too... Right!
🤪🤌
I don't know why I watched this because I already have one, but I couldn't agree more with Yammie. The R7 is a fantastic bike all around.
Can you start on it before even touching any other bike tho??
@@ammaarali4571 im teaching my sister to ride on mine, she has handled it well so far
been watching for years since i was like 17 not being able to ride legally. 22 now and im finally getting off the dirtbikes and getting an r7 in the spring. stunting it out full exhaust and tune. gonna be my first street legal bike of my own.
This is a bike that improves/fixes/grants all my Wishlist for my -old- Yamaha SRX600. Perfect amount of power for canyon carving, and good OEM brakes and wheels and modern tires, full fairing, thin as can be, a twin. The SRX600 is stupid good fun and almost nobody went up a canyon quicker, because the power of light, small, thin bikes to not be too big for the road.
Finally a mention for the cbr650r, I would be talking the cbr over any of the 650 class, has the best of all. The only thing it lacks is fully adjustable suspension, however the suspension is tuned pretty nice and seems to do a good job all round.
I love the way the cbr looks. I really want one. I have to decide between that and the R7. I personally don’t care about the power difference. I’m leaning towards the R7 because of the way it sounds. I’m just in love with that mean sound.
@alexhejna7481 Personally I prefer the sound of an inline 4, especially on a sports bike. I feel a V twin sounds to much like a trail bike. The R7 would still be a nice bike as I think you have a bit more adjustment in the suspension than the CBR. What country do you live in as some have the power restricted?
@@deant6627it’s not a v twin. Inline 2
Took my licence on a cbr650r. Fun little bike, not the best ergonomics for longer trips past 2 hours, but its very forgiving and easy to learn on.
@@_VQJose the r7 is a parallel twin
I had my MT07 for 4 happy years. It's a perfect city bike 🏍 and have more than enough juice for long highway rides
I think the r7 is a nearly perfect bike. Great price point, great motor, sporty ergonomics, and great aftermarket support.
Absolutely soulless compared to the R6 after riding both IMO
@@langstonharrisjara4973 better than waiting for that "soul" to comeout in 10k rpm. which most often than not you'd be right at the back of a truck 🤷🏼🤷🏼
@@RinHerathat’s the worst excuse to justify your point. Which holds no weight
HOW IS IT THE PERFECT BIKE WHEN THE R1 EXISTS?
@@RinHera I see your point there are in fact people that trade their r6 in for having no mid range.
Ooooooooo that red and white anniversary livery I sooooooo good!!!
Choosing between the R7 and RS660 is a TOUGH one!!!
A CP3-powered R9 would be A frikin blast IMHO. A friend of mine has a MT-09 SP and it is too good for a kind of cheap naked bike, I can't imagine that suspension and engine on a sportbike frame and ergonomics. Still, the R7 is awesome too, but quite different to MT-09 in sensations.
My buddy just got one of these last years and I tell you, it’s a great daily rider
R6 can also be a great daily
Already own one since 4 weeks, absolutely love this bike👌👍
Shouldve went with mt07
@@melihdrms1182 tried that, but Naked bikes arent for me, so i got the R7
@@melihdrms1182that’s literally the same bike but with other ergonomics and less plastics, mt07 and R7 are just personal preference about the look and feel🤷🏻♂️
Same here, absolutely fantastic bike and I highly recommend it to anyone
just got mine on saturday. it’s a blast to ride. idc what anyone says
I have a RS660 it has 18,000km right now and I never had any issues riding thing thing daily + weekend + track I'm in love.
Man I own a Mt09 sp and Mt07 all because of you😂😅😂..
great video as usual!! masterpiece and hilarious.
I'm glad the R7 came out, now with track racers making power mods I can supe up an mt07
Get one it's such a fun bike💙
One of the best looking out on the market ❤.
Even though i own the MT07 2022 ✌️
Am literally going to test ride a 2022 cbr650 and the 2023 R7 this week to decide which one i want this video was exactly what i was looking for, but after every thing iv seen online and my own personal opinion i think il get the R7
Which did you choose I’m looking for my first motorcycle
Just got the R7 but as soon as the R9 comes out, I'm upgrading
I think the cbr 650 r is better, effectively same displacement with more horsepower and a more comfortable riding position. Also you can find used 650 rs and fs for well under half the price of an r7, still a good bike but not good in terms of value for money
When is the new colors for the 2024 model coming? Thanks love the video.
I ride a 2021 CBR600 an hour to and from work anyway I never had a problem with torque or the bike being unridable in any traffic situation. I also has the 2002 gsxr600 for a few years.
I bought my r7 for 10600$ out the door in wa. After not riding for 8 years I was going to go for the r6 or cbr 600 but couldn't find any and the r1 and cbr 1000 were to much money to justify to my wife. Long story short I love my r7. My only complaint is that I cant get more than 130 mph out of it but I hardly ever go that fast. Thanks yammie I saw your review for it when you were testing the 2022
130 dam thats slow
@@GenghisKhan311mph not kph
@georgesuperack6483 lol are you trying to die?
I was going to get an R7 but i really want that R9. Hopefully they make it
Thanks Yamaha, I was waiting for this bike. Suzuki could have made a 650 sports bike with its V twin out ov the SV 650 ages ago.
Saw the new white version at the dealer today. Had me foaming at the mouth. I do wish they had chosen to do electric blue highlights instead of orange
Did you say that the 2008 R6 has been dominating racetracks for over 20 years? I KNEW YOU WERE FROM THE FUTURE
Yeah it doesn’t add up 😂😂😂
I wish they brought back the YZF-600R thunder cat to replace the R6. Feel like that’s closer to an R6 while being less committed in the pocket. That being said, looking to snap up an R7 very soon.
The zx6r is just priced so well between the r7 and 660.
How come that the CBR650r is 2,000 dollars cheaper than the R7 in Poland and Germany? If that's the case, doesn't the CBR make more sense to buy for daily use with a trackday every a weekend? What you think?
i own an r7, after owning a r125 a few years ago. I'm getting a turbo on it as I loved it so much the first year of riding it. it's confidence inspiring, it looks great and the riding position is amazing (finally a manufacturer that does a proper sportsbike riding position)
Are you looking at getting the extreme creations turbo kit for Australia? I've been tempted to turbo my r7 as well!
yes, i had it mounted on the bike, only we're having issues with it so I haven't seen the bike in over 6 months. if you like complications, do it, but it won't be a stock bike anymore
2k km on my RS660 odometer, no quality issues except for noice from rear break on lower speed.
I really miss those 95 r-7..too bad it was so expensive and rare
An R9 would be very tempting.
As someone who wear a pair of sandals and shorts (optional) whenever they go outside I will surely buy the Yzf R1M 🗿
If anybody is planning on getting an R7 i would say WAIT TILL 2024! the 2024 model will have ridebywire, factory quickshifter and TFT dash.
Want an R7 but just got a grom. I’ll ride my grom for a couple years and save up for an R7, by then it should have those features
Is this confirmed??
@@existingwithdan9483not even true 😂
I highly recommend ktm 890 duke r or Yamaha mt09. I’ll never own a sportbike again after buying a 23 ktm 890 duke. Comfort makes all the difference in the world
If we are talking single bike stable, I 100% agree that a naked is a more versatile choice. They are more than fast enough, corner fine, and can be used for long trips just by adding bags.
I would love a good 600ish sport bike, but I doubt it would see as much road time as my current naked. More for when I want to hit up some fun roads or gap those silly wannabe fast cars more than I already do.
@@Ephem13I just came off a 600 and I live in the twisty hills so that’s all my riding is. I feel like I’ve been robbed of time by not getting a naked bike sooner. My biggest concern was hearing how much people complain about highway riding without a windscreen or fairings. I did 90mph consistently and felt 100% fine also. Idk just all my opinion
j'aime beaucoup la musique classique en arriere plan !
I wish you would have mentioned the GSXR 750, since you brought up the CBR650R, which is also an inline 4.
that clip at 1:00 is at the dealership I get my Yamahas from , honestly couldn't recommend a better dealer than sycamores :D
Turbo busa yammmmyyyy!!!
What about the ZX-4RR vs the R7? Disregarding the price, altho they are not that far apart.
love my r7
R9 is on the way!
Thank God I will buy one for myself
Why does yammie keep changing his opinion on the r7. Is it horrible or is it perfect? I don’t understand
I personally will always prefer the sound of an inline 4, but the R7 is a really nice-looking machine and looks like a strong adversary to the ninja 650.
Couldn’t agree more. The pure inline 4 sound is second to none. Real reason for replay is to let u know I had 650 ninja got hit purchased an r7 and it’s not even close. R7 is faster thru all gears revs higher and looks way better. I’m embarrassed I ever owned a ninja 650 lol Have good weekend
@@JamesS-vi8uythanks
Am literally about to buy an r7 as a first time bike
I like the way it looks
@@JamesS-vi8uysomeone else had recommended i buy a ninja 650 but i guess i wont now 😂😂
One of the shops right near me just got one highly considering the r7 but then there’s a dealer right across the street from me with a zx4rr I really don’t know 😭
I would get the R7 if I were you...
zx4rr is a future collectible. R7 is gonna be better for daily use and touring.
Who’s here waiting for the R9? I can’t wait for that sound
i was waiting for the R9 but it looks like its coming in 2025. Fuck them,im going for the aprilia rs 660 instead. And in the future i'll either go for the bmw s1000rr or the panigale.
get the rs660 u wont be dissapointed
@@IversonGR
If you want that triple sound I’d say get a Daytona.
@@CorBor69 I love my keyboards 😂
@@IversonGRwhat source is it coming in 2025? Been looking for info when it’s coming out because I want one
That center headlight looks so absurd
Maybe I’m a one off, but my Tuono V4 is perfect and doesn’t have any issues with oil. I love everything about it!
I want to buy an R7 for my next bike, currently I have a Honda CBR300. I’m just not a fan of the r7 colors. Does anyone know if they will be coming out with different colors for next year?
Thanks for the video, you have convinced me again that the R7 should be my next bike.
good vid so far
I have an R7. Glad I went with it. Several compliments on it. Will turbo it later down the road.
Is it good for beginners?
@@yk_diaz depends on how responsible of a rider you are. Price point, depends on how much you make. For me, perfect: good power, not too little not too much, looks phenomenal, simple cluster and process of operation (doesn’t have any rider modes). Price.. it’s reasonable.
If you were glad you wouldn't be looking at turbos. You bought a weak bike. I hope it's your first ride.
Once a great person said, "It's not the size that matters, it's the how you use it."
That is my next motorcycle I want real bad..
Dream bike 😍😍💙💙
Do u think the yamaha r7s good for a beginner rider?
I have a Tennere T7 and approve this engine.
Actually, I want an R9...
Yamaha tripple made for corners in canyons? Yes please
Is the r7 seating position alot more agressive compared to the SV650X model with the clip ons ?
Watched for the r7, but now i want a mt-07
I've never ridden before...ordered one last week
Can you drive stick in a car I would want to hope that you have either way enjoy your bike and congratulations my friend you will love it
I bought one last month but i have to wait until december to legally drive it since i dont have my licence yet
Has he done a R7 vs RS660 video?
Ive been wanting to upgrade to the r7 but the r9 in the works is jolding me off.
You’ll make the money back before the r9 comes out splurge a lil 😉
Haha, I feel the same way about naked bikes
99% of the folks commenting here have not ridden nor have they been on an R7 but the confidence they inspire through their comments its overwhelming 😂😂😇
Motorcycles are about passion and everyday ridding, that's it!
True... 🎉
99% have never been in one and 75% of that 99% doesn't have a bike 😂
Monkeys repeating what other monkeys say...
🎉🎉🎉
R7 is now a starter bike lol
I own an R7 2023 and I tell you this: just go and buy, you won't regret it. Perfect balance. Powerful in low and mid speeds up until 100mph. Please don't compare it to R6, these are different bikes.
I am looking to upgrade to the R7 from a Honda CB500F. Are you a tall rider? I am 6 foot 4 and afraid I won't fit on the R7 comfortably, can you tell me more about this by any chance?
@@LodethebigI’m 6-1 and find it pretty comfortable. Have rode it for upwards of an hour and a half and didn’t have complaints. I don’t think 3 inches would make a huge difference but I would still recommend just going to a dealer and sitting on it to see how it feels
I'm 6'3 and I fit good on the bike. I have a 23 I bought in April. I daily to work 4 days a week at 84 miles a day. Comfortable for me. I have 2,800 miles on it and no complaints. I agree about going and sitting on it to see how you feel. If you end up not liking it I recommend the ninja 400. My wife got her license and bought a 23 when I got mine and it's really Comfortable with a more upright position. Good luck and ride safe brother
Thank you both for the response! I will check the nearby dealers and book a test ride to be safe ✌🏻
@@Lodethebig Im 1m82cm so my reach is quite good. The position is way more aggressive than the ninja 650 or 400 or CBR, however it gives you a certain comfort and confidence. Personally I love it. I recommend going for a test ride and think long term what you like and enjoy most. I have only 300km on the dash with no complaints whatsoever.
Not to be confused with the YZF R7 that Haga used to race.
Great bike .. still traded in for a r1
Known way to many x-riders that aren’t around or don’t ride anymore because their first bike was a sport or super-sport bike as their first. As a veteran rider I would never recommend one to a new rider. There is a reason sport and super sports under a liter have been plummeting in popularity.
Aren't you forgetting the XSR700?
Have an mt 07, dope bike tbh lol
Ima start on a r3
I'm on an R3 now ❤
Been on it for about 6 months
Fun times bro. Great starter and learner bike.
But it is true
After 6 months you will want an upgrade. Doesn't have to be a 1k bike but definitely go up a knotch.
@@HT_KA_PTAHthank you so much for this do you have any complaints about the r3? I’m thinking of getting the r7 after the r3
@Papmate1234
The only complaint about the R3 is that once you get used to the corners, the straight aways can be boring. It tops off at 110 MPH, and that's extremely slow, especially since I come from the car community where 150mph is basic, lol
But I understand that if you want something fast.... then buy something fast.
I'm super glad I started with an R3.... I have no complaints besides the power.... but... it is what it is... 🏍
Definitely fun to be on.
My longest trip is 4 hours on the bike. At cruising speed of 90 MPH the whole way. Extremely fun to be on. And I love the fact is is lightweight.
PSA: blurring your Speedometer doesn’t do anything for you in court 😂
The 2024 ninja 650 actually went up in price. It’s not $7,999 anymore.
if is buy this as my first road bike would it be a bad descision? I have ridden dirt-bikes since i was 14.
Should I get R7 or MT-07?
I'm going to upgrade from my Ninja 400 soon and the R6 has always been one of my dream bikes. I'm really considering the R7 instead because of the torque and more comfortable riding stance. I enjoy longer rides and the R6 probably isn't going to be very comfortable.
R7 will be more useable
It is going to suck dude. R6 is a race bike. You won't care about how much the bike looks when your back already hurts after 1 hour of riding.
You'll be getting more bang for the buck. I have a T7 and I love the cp2 motor, it feels waay more torquey and bad ass than my old R6 did even though the torque numbers are comparable.
Get a ktm 890 duke r and thank me later for the best decision you ever made in your life
R6 trust me. The R7 is a small jump from your 400.
I’m from India I want that r6… been my dream bike since 8 years
WHAT ABOUT THE STREET TRIPLE AND DAYTONA??????
Nice
I'd LOVE to own a '99 R7. We'd all LOVE to own a '99 R7.
😎🏍💨👍
KEEP THE 9 special
Unfortunately here in Hawaii only one dealership sells new Yamaha’s, so a 2024 R7 is $12k. Rip
The MT07 deeeeserves better suspension… like noooowa!
How about a MT07 SP ? 😎
Neat fact, an R6 makes more hp than my old 1988 honda CRX si.
Nahh yammy I'm a begginer i need a turbo bussa!!!!
Well i still think i made the best choise buying an RS660… i would like to try the R7 and the CBR tho (not the Ninja, thanks)
to expensive 😭 ill have to stick with my 1989 ninja ex500. 😊 it was 600$ and over a decade and 20000+ miles ive had not one problem. 😮 i do love her❤🏍️
An 09 ninja 500 Was my first bike I miss it to this day
So question? I’ve had my first bike for a little while now and it’s a Honda CB 500 I want to get more in the sport bikes and I thought the R7 would be a good second bike but I hear a lot of people say that it’s a beginner + bike. Should I go with something bigger or is the r7 a good second. I’m a taller guy and the 500 already feels like riding a kids tricycle after a few months.
I have an R7 (my first bike) and rode a CB500 on the exam for the licence.
The R7 is quite narrow, and although there's definitely more power than the CB, I don't know if the difference will keep you entertained for long, given how you say you out-grew the Honda in a few months only.
I'm personnally super happy with my R7 for now, but for my second bike I think I'll get something bigger, around the 100hp mark probably.
@@noblaw7595 thanks that’s all I needed to know. I’ll be getting something bigger then.
What about R9?
Next vid: so you want a mv Augusta superveloce 800
I'll buy a new (4th) bike when Yamaha releases the R9.
Definitely looking into one but my girl doesn’t want me to get one
I just want something that’s not gonna blow me all over the road when I’m on the hwy
Give me the cbr650r anyday. 30hp more and that inline 4 sound is to die for.
