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.

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.

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.

[fjinatic]

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

[GenuineBreezy]

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.

[james]

I love the R7. Makes my ‘19 R6 more valuable💯🦾🔥🏍

[DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

OC: I say no need to lose weight for track days, especially if any weight comes from

[boris]

The R7 looks amazing probably the best looking bike out now 😍 😀

[kayinoue]

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!

[TheSdlabs]

Chase: This bike was built for the street.

Chase (later): I should get this as a track bike. 🤔 OC

[SafelyGaming]

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.

[rubberduckyy]

Legit gasped when I saw this on my feed😂

[tristandelgado]

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.

[dzonz]

Yamaha needs to make an r9 and take my money! (I own a 2018 mt09 and love it)

[Crimson_Strider]

OC: damn that looks like a fun daily bike for me.

[retrodefault]

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!

[paulyk]

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.

[timothyholtjr.]

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

[cosito]

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!!!!
