Yoshimura YZF-R7 Race Bike Testing - One Lap At Laguna Seca

Take a spin around Laguna Seca with RevZilla's Ari Henning as he pilots the Yamaha YZF-R7 that Yoshimura is developing for the MotoAmerica Twins Cup race at Laguna Seca in July. Note the hand up between Turn 5 and 6; Laguna Seca has a strict sound limit at track days, and Ari was forced to roll out of the throttle through this section to avoid being black flagged.

Ari on a race prepped R7 in Laguna Seca? You just made my day, Revzilla! Now to watch this video ten times in a row.

Ari is an animal! And the idea of ripping a bike through the iconic corkscrew of Laguna Seca is wild! Definitely a bucket list thing

I was so damn stoked to see "Henning" on the leaderboard honestly amazing he was able to just jump in and play like that. Hope there's more!

I love the sound of this bike. It just sounds so mean and aggressive.

[pokeyrebel]

It's good to see Ari back in the mix and two videos in a row. 👍👍
I swear I thought you were going to low side in the first corner. 🤢
Simply amazing!🤘😃🤘👏👏👏

that 3rd gear pull out of the corkscrew is awesome

[TheGorillaBiker]

Ari is a beast, the corkscrew looks genuinely scary from that angle :D I'd still absolutely love a shot around that track :D

Looks a blast, light and responsive on corner entry with plenty grunt on the way out, hell of a package you got yourselves boys, a true riders bike

[moritz]

Breathtaking. Leaning this far in the corners almost scares me although im only watching it in the video.

[devonnobles]

A very respectable 13th place! Well done Mr Henning👏

[bsmukler]

That backing off going by the sound booth looked familiar :). Very smooth lap!

Love this track.
Never been there but a favourite with sim racing 😉

[seanquinlan]

lol, the joys of the laguna sounds check between T5 and T6.

[BoomStickvids]

Those induction noise from those high lift cams and big bore throttle bodies are awesome

[TheRamsberg]

That's a perfectly executed riding video, purity of experience.

[maldekai]

My lord your speed through T2 made my hair stand up! I can only dream of being that ballsy.

love watching Ari rip around a track 1st person style

[dimitrisa]

this video is scary and awasome at the same time!
