To me the Yamaha R7 is my dream bike.
Not only is it a good beginner sports bike, but also a more Street Friendly sports bike. And it nails the aesthetics of my ideal looking sports bike
ikr, i wanna get it as my first bike. I've seen all the reviews, the R7 is a great beginner sport bike (LAM aswell)
@@yk_diaz you are going to kill yourself if you think the r7 is a beginner bike
U have shitty dreams then bud 😅
*describing MT07* “Handles like a Chinese knockoff of itself” . I spit my milk out. Golden.
Hey bro I also got selected to, did you get your bike yet and have you paid delivery fees. Is it real
@@lishakalijee1190 it’s not real
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'd love to see a comparison between r7, CBR 650r, and rs660. I'm looking at all three options for my next bike from the rc390. Cheers :)
Look into the gsxr 600 it’s just as comfortable as these options and is faster.
and the ninja 650 aswell please
@@AJTurbo for sure not anywhere as comfortable as any of those options. 600s blow as street bikes.
I made the exact request in another video, great minds think alike ;D
I really hope Yam sees this & respond, I'm sure a lotta people want this to happen
@@wetwea33 depends on what you use it for. I’d take a 600 or even 1000 where I live than a 650 type of bike any day.
Thanks for using my exhaust clip for the Mt07! One of my favourite sounding bikes and excited to try out the r7 one day. It’s not going to replace the speed of my r6 but there have been times where I wish my Mt07 was a full fairing bike and that’s exactly where the r7 comes in.
What kind of exhaust did you have on that?
I think the r7 is ment for people that understand and actually ride there machines. Looks fun and reliable
Absolutely will go to the R7 after my R3, beautiful
Same, and I tuned my R3 as much as I could. Making 43RWHP, it’s fun, I do a lot of group rides with 600 riders. The R7 with similar upgrades will be perfect. That 270 crank sounds good too.
Dont count out the R6, is a bike with twice the personality, but twice the problems lol.
@@chrisp.5272 haha..same here..I tuned my r3 to be as much power as the N4..
Got my R7, and it is perfect for me where I live. New England roads are twisty and narrow, so power/weight are spot on. Excellent on highway as well, way more stable than the 3. Perfect for morning commute on backroads.
I was considering buying either the R7 or the RS660. What ultimately led me to buy the RS660 was all of the “pointless tech” Noob here describes. A lot of this tech makes for a safer riding experience and gives the end user more control of their bike based off what they want to use it for. That’s not a bad thing FYI.
I had to go with the mt07 but as a begginer i would preffer a more powerfull bike with that tech, its way safer, even the mt09 is safer than mt07
I’m looking to get my first bike, at first I wanted the r7 but talking with other riders made me make the smart choice of picking up a used beat up one to learn on bc 10/10 I might drop it etc. happy to start learning !!!
I just love to watch every videos of your sir and I love Yamaha bikes ❣️🥰
Another vote for the Honda 650R vs R7 video. Preferably with the CBR if you can find one because the ergos are more comparable and compete more directly.
what an absolute masterpiece of youtube cinematography
been waiting for this vid, thx for the input oh great papa yam
I looked all over Northern California trying to find an R7, couldn't find one anywhere. But landed a CBR 650R at SF Moto and I'm happy as hell with it. First bike, and it's super manageable. Not everyone's the same and I get that but not sure why you shut the CBR down completely as a solid beginner bike.
those yzf600r thundercats are awesome bikes.very forgiving and still quite quick
great video, I plan on buying one this spring
Yes Yammie, please do a R7 vs Honda CBR 650R comparison! I wish Yamaha had made it a bit cheaper, because as cool as the R7 is, if I'm buying a brand new bike, I'd rather drop another $1,000 and get a ZX-6R. But that's just me.
I was waiting for this video!!!😃
I want to see a cbr650r/f vs r7 for sureeeee. This is my first season riding, picked up a '14 cbr650f w/ 10.5k miles. Just put 2.2k on this first season so far.
I had a CBR650F and now I have a 2018 CBR1000RR. I put on the 650F around 12,000 miles and the bike could be ride by a new rider but is better for someone with more experience since the bike has more power and torque. The two bikes that I am considering for my next addition to my garage are the 650R and the CB1000R. Both are amazing bikes that you can ride for hours. My CBR 1000RR is fun but after 1 hour you are in pain ( I got used to her)
Great comparison but the Ninja was sporting a Yoshimura exhaust and the MT07 an Akrapovic. I get the difference between the 180 degree crank of the Ninja and the 270 on the R7 but a better comparison would be with stock exhaust. I really love both bikes but I'm a Kawi simp at heart.
Here to make the case for the Ninja 650. You can get them dirt cheap because the R7 makes them outdated. I just bought my ninja and after dealer fees and taxes paid just over 7,000. And that’s in Missouri where you pay almost 10% of the bike cost for the tags instead of a flat rate. Also my back is fucked from military service so the upright position is great. With an R7 your going to pay the msrp if not more with how sought after it is. Furthermore, someone with back problems would have to then price out handlebars or risers etc. The ninja makes sense for a certain buyer (cheapskates) and if this sounds like you, buy the ninja, you won’t regret it.
That's what I thought on something similar such as the F4i 600cc or maybe the yamaha thundercat. Pretty outdated but these two are the era of greatness in both sport and comfort.
I agree. I would love the r7 if it came with risers and bars instead of clip-ons.
In Australia we have a thing called LAMS, which means we have a 655cc and a 689cc MT07 and the R7 will be the same when it gets here. Coming from an R3, I'll be waiting until my open licence so I can get the high output 689cc R7
The Kawa parallel twin sounds like a small old diesel generator that we had on our fishing vessel.
New subscriber watching from the philippines😊 R7 is not yet released here. Planning to buy Big Bike in future🥵 Thank you for the Honest Review 😁More knoweldge to learn in your TH-cam videos 🥰 Ride safe always 🙏🙏🙏
I'm really curious about how it compares to the XSR700, though. Does the XSR700 you had suffer from the same issues you described on the MT07? Asking as a very-happy XSR owner who's never ridden a MT-07.
haha thanks for this Vid... this is literally my dilemma right now.
Going from a Honda500 but I'm giving a hard look at both the MT07 and the R7.
Had a trident660 on order... but it's so delayed getting here.
Dunno what it is about the Yamaha but always been drawn to them.
im super excited right now! 😅
R7 being more aggressive ergonomics than Rs660 is the deal breaker to me!
Rs gets uncomfortable after couple of hours but it handles like a dream glad i didn't go for the mt07 but i do wonder how a mt07 with proper suspension would feel that engine is awesome!!!!!
RS660 Performance matches its skin, R7 = fugazi
Get bar risers that's what I will do.
@@coastalhillbilly3419 R7 is punk rock! Noice!
Hi, ive been working more than 10 years allways focusing on buying my first bike, i wanted to buy the rs660 too, but the price was above my possibilities, so i had to go with mt07 before prices go up this year (Portugal), im loving the bike in blue year 22, it has a good torque, but in 3 years i wanna go with rs660 unless theres something new on the market. RS660 looks so sexy like a supersports with better argonomics and that quickshift up and down must be so good. Ride safe!
@@cartuxo999 Mt07 is a sweet bike when you can you need to add the quick shifter and fix the suspension ( cartridge kit) if you can't afford that watch dave moss tunning channel he has a video for a cheap fix. After that you might want to upgrade the brake pads and maybe steel braided lines because brakes on the 07 are not the best. After doing those upgrades you might even lose the desire to upgrade.
I'm looking to get my first bike and this definitely sold me on the r7
I started on my 2004 Ducati 999. It's just way too fun I can't stand it 🤤💕💙
I loves your content
I like your videos sir I'm from the Philippines. New Subscriber here 👋😊😮
I legally can’t have a license but still watch your videos lol.
I wonder what u did lol ;)
Maybe health issues? Legally blind?
@@jackraylongiii9663 he said “watch”?
@@chalkdemon8019 you can be legally blind and still see a phone normally
Oh course he is not blind😂
I want to go on record, and note that today; for the first time... I saw someone unironically riding a bike on the street with the predator helmet.
Lol.
I wanna buy the joker one
The venom one’s cool too
The R7 looks so appealing, but I'm set in getting the bmw 850gs for my first bike 🤗
Yes. Do the CB650R/CBR650R vs R7 comparison vid.
Lol in the presented soundchecks the ninja kind of sounded better but I've heard mt07s and can confirm they sound pretty rad
I ride 2008 R6; God damn! Looks like I should really take care of it; There is no competition today
Currently looking at picking up a bike and was contemplating between the ninja 650 and r7. I like both but once i heard that familiar low end grunt of the yamahas which ive always been a fan of especially in the R1's i knew it was a done deal and i dont mind spending the extra dollar to get a great looking bike and something more of what i wanted. I'll come back to this post when i've got the bike and give an update :)
Did u get it?
@@tiddly5026 actually in the time since I posted this I’ve owned a 2016 mt09 and then sold it for a 23 gsxr 750
Finally an comparising with the cbr650r, in Sweden they will cost almost the same (R7 is actually 200 dollar more expensive)
Don´t know what to pick yet tho, currently have mt07
The cbr has the motor and sound but the r7 got the looks
If u treat bike as a daily rider i would go with CBR650R, it's tech and the way it makes power can save U during the rain and more relaxed position is wrist saving if u ride a lot :). Yamaha R7 torque is a lot of fun tho + very light compared to honda. Same thing in Poland with pricing.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but IMO the Honda has the motor AND the looks :]
Cbr's full potential is in the top end and sounds great towards the top-end , but that CP2 motor is ON anytime, " twist the throttle and have fun ", it sounds naughty too and of course that cp2 is a magic
Between the two I’d go with the CBR all day, just my 2 cents
Hit me up when you wanna get rid of the mt-07 when spring arrives
The DB fusion comparison is hilarious 😂😂
I think THIS is the bike for me! I've been on an R6 a few times and I LOVED it! But it never felt right my 5'3" 130lbs self. I've not sat on an R7 but it already looks ergonomically correct for me!
And to think I was going to settle for a cruiser soon! SMH
were about the same weight but im 5’6. have u sat on the r7 yet? and if u have, were u able to flat foot one leg?
@@steezy1692 im 5'6 and sat on the R7, my toes touched on each side but could not flat foot. honestly felt pretty intimidating, but Im new lol
@@nickyounkin2009 same I’m 5,8 and could only flat foot on one side
Thanks yammie, you’ve convinced me to go with r7 over r6 for my first bike 🫰
Did u end up getting the bike? If so how was it for a beginner?
If I was smart I would of bought this instead of my 300 at the beginning of the summer, but now I’m gonna get the zx6r 💪💪
I hope you are attending the MotoGP races in your backyard!! post pictures please
Cbr650r 2021 owner. Lovely bike. I do over 600km a week on it (280km straight twice a week plus a few hour long rides) and no backache or wrist pain. One thing to note, I'm a 164cm tall woman and can flat foot 1 foot or tip toe both feet. I can't tip toe both feet on my friend's r6, not sure if the r7 is lower...
Yes do a comparation beetwen the CBR and R7. I really like the aspect off the CBR. But want to know more about price/quality beetween this 2 bykes.
@Pînned by Yammïe Nôöb What is this?
This is no way slander because I love all your videos but this video genuinely had me dying with laughter
I been enjoying my R7 as my beginner sport bike,no complaints here
Do you feel that you would’ve learned quicker if you would’ve started on a smaller CC bike? Do you feel like the R7 has too much power? Im only asking cause I’m a beginner and debating on a CF MOTO 450ss or an R7 for a first bike
yes to the cb650r vs R7 vid Yam
Can you test and review the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce? It's advertised as a sport tourer. Want to know what you think of it as such.
Thank you!!!!
bike and video are great but the outro is the best
It would be fun I think, if Suzuki would make the SV670 into a sports bike just like what Yamaha did to the MT-07.
I'd pick an Aprilia 660 all day long, but it's also about 10.5 g's. Some people dog on the few cheap parts of the Yamahas, but you can't argue the price....that much.
Yo yammie and crew, you should do a review on the Kawasaki versys 650 I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Only buying it because I can’t get my hands on a 2023 zx6 but I think I will enjoy this but a lot based on all the reviews
Yes, yes I do. I want that 60th anniversary edition though. White bikes > every other color
It bewilders me that the same company that made that chuggachugga 650 twin also made that heavenly sounding 900cc I4 and wrapped it in gorgeous cafe racer body lines.
My wife got the R7 shes already so good at it. Very manageable for a beginner.
Hey Marcus, out of curiosity exactly how much of a beginner is she? I've done alot of research and I'm interested in getting the R7 as my first bike. The most I've ridden was a 1 gear scooter and that's it. I drive a manual but I know it's completely different from a bike. Just debating on pulling the trigger on it. I do have good self restraint and respect for high hp vehicles.
Let's see it, I would like to see a comparison of the CBR650R and R7.
Well both bikes sound nice
I cant wait till I’m old enough to ride motorcycles
Just be careful, and always wear your gear
but the fun part of starting with a 300 is ur not afraid of ur bike after a small time and u can still accidently lift the front wheel
I’m curious on how it compares to the SV650X. Lot of people are saying CB650R. But that’s a standard that happens to have an I4. The 650X has ergonomics similar to this but another 10k rpm V twin pushing more similar power and torque.
thanks papa Yam
i would love the triple r as a track bike to really get experience on the track. and the r7 as a daily rider. then my 200 for practicing stunting. then eventually getting a touring bike for going on long trips. a cruiser for when i feel like laying back. and a dirt bike to just rip and jump
Why stop there?
9:09 "and then this is the mt-07 sound" *gets an ad*
I have a fat Bob currently. I really want to get my first sport bike. It’s between the R7 and the CBR 650R. I just wish there was inventory for me to test ride out here.
In Germany the R7 is more expensive than a CBR650R and barely 1k cheaper than the RS660. Its 2.3k more than the MT07 and Ninja 650.
The cbr650r is a glaring omission from your review/giveaway catalogue. Stop bs'ing around and get that done Yam!
Yammie gets praised for loving the MT-07, gets shit on for loving the R7 😂
People are stupid
R7 and CBR 650R comparison, yes.
I hope that I am able to buy the R7 after I complete my education ❤💫
that outro gets me everytime ;D
Ninja with Ptwin: garbage
R with Ptwin: greatest bike ever!!
Literally nearly identical specs
The engines have a different firing order. They really aren't the same.
@@Recklesshade ooh wow, yeah they are for the price a whole 1000 dollars difference it's 7hp and like 6 ftlbs yes that's a difference but in terms of cost that's not worth it not to mention everyone is acting like this is the be all end all sport bike and not a shameless marketing cash grab
Right this R7 is the most overhyped bike rn.
The 650s ptwin sounds like straight garbage compared to the cp2
Time for the daily yammie Pube video
Finally r7 vid
how do i know if i have actually received entries into the giveaways since they dont show up on the main yammienoob page. loving r7 vids btw bike looks so awesome
I, for one, would love to see a CB650 vs. R7 comparison, especially since I'm (hopefully) buying a CB650 on Saturday. I was seriously considering the R7 originally, but the looks of the CB can't be beat IMO. Not to mention the ergonomics.
Which one did u get
@@darthkarroto2183 I ended up getting the CB650R. I just knew that if I got anything else, I'd end up being disappointed. And I'm so happy I did. I absolutely love it.
@@kdeeg103 what year did you get I’m happy you enjoy it
@@darthkarroto2183 Brand new, 2021. And thanks. It was a gift to myself for turning my life around.
@@kdeeg103 that’s awesome man. I’m looking at the z650 and the Suzuki sv650
This would be my second bike, that's if I do end up getting one. I'm looking at getting a sport bike next year to scratch an itch 🤷♂️
I knew this vid was gonna come😂
Just got a 2024 r7. I’m a new rider and have no prior clutch experience. All the torque making it a little difficult to learn on but I’m not stalling, just suck at shifting 😔
I really like the Yamaha a lot more than I was expecting, if I had the opportunity to get one I definitely would do so!
What did you like about it?
Yammie, CB650R vs R7 is a must, please!! :P
Hey yam, are you going to do your give-aways in australia?
We are so close to that turbo busa boys!!!!
I sat on an R7 at MotoGP this weekend. It's aggressive, not going to be fun all day. I've ridden the RS660 and it's more comfortable with higher clip ons but still aggressive enough to track.
I did the exact thing this weekend. Absolutely loved.
Never driven a bike before. Thinking of getting one
Ive been looking at a ninja400 for a first dedicated track bike since i can ring it out without fear, OR going for a zx6r but im 6'3" so i was leaning toward 600. I honestly keep forgetting this bike exists and am now wondering if its worth saving a bit of money and sticking to lower power? Or shell out for a bike that i'll eventually grow into
not quite a beginner, but im definitely getting an R7 based entirely off of what i've heard about the mt07 being the most fun cheap bike
I don’t just want a Yamaha r7 for my first bike i want your Yamaha r7 it’s absolutely a stunning bike
these companies need to make all the dashes on the bikes typical antilog style dash with the sweeping needle we all like, but then have the ability if you dont like it and want a tft or whatever those new computer screens called. IMO that would make me like other bikes wayyyyy more!
The comparison, Just do it 😀
I tried this both on the street and on the track and I will say this is a fun bike on a track, but it sucks on the normal roads with stop and go traffic.
Hey yam, just got a full power CBR650R and just wondering why that’s not a beginner bike but the MT07 and R7 are beginner bikes? I have upgraded from a LAMS/A2 MT07 and the CBR seems much more manageable at street RPM’s (0-7000) for sure it starts flying at the top half, but the MT07 and R7 will Yeet its rider at street RPM’s compared to the CBR
It's an absolutely beautiful motorcycle.
Altho it's price range is a no-no for most countries in the world.
Hell yeah I wanna see the R7 take on the CB650R
id buy the aprilia due to well it has a bit better sound, and a slightly better fram. and also since its aprilia and those are rare
Well I'm happy with my trident for street duty and a lot of fun in twisty. It would be lovely if they make a mt07 SP tho that is probably a dream bike for me not really a r7 tho.
That’s just pointless
@@oseh438 why? Yamaha should of upgrade their suspension ages ago. Well if it's the price, they could make a small batch of SP easily. For people who not up for big upgrade done by themselves, this make a lot of sense. The 09SP seals well, even there is half of the buyer in the 07SP market Yamaha would still be loaded.
Yammie is spiralling down the cc rabbit hole to admit that a honda cbr rr 1000 cc bike is the best beginner bike. 😉😉
