R7 made better. Budget Yamaha middleweight twin vs K-tech suspension.

Two Dave's, one Yamaha. Either a really odd fetish film, or Obsession Engineering are making a cheap sporty twin better than Yamaha did.
Join the fun as we upgrade the suspension and rearsets and see what difference it really makes.

I've been loving your older sportbike content. Really loved seeing what you did with the R7!

You should do time lapse videos of some of the work, watching you furiously pump the forks at 4x speed would be hilarious 😂

Did the suspension on my GSXR 1000 k6 ohlins shock and ktec internals, , as soon as I could after purchase, , also on my SV 1000, ,best mods, , and forged aluminium wheels, , need set for GSXR, , saving up 🤑☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland great video 👍

Only Dave can do this right! Well done Dave. I wish I could afford upgraded suspension 😭

You know you’re old when you had a ‘Remove before flight’ key ring from the first time they were in fashion in 1987 and I had it on my GPZ900r, coz Top Gun😂🤦‍♂️

Most impressive though on looking up the KTech prices I don’t think a 2002 R1 quite reaches the total price of the bike versus the shock 😲😂👍👏👌

Loving your videos 👍🏻 and this is another very good one!

I'm a huge Yamaha fan. However, it's time they get their 💩 together in the stopping department. Anyone ever heard anything good about the brakes on their modern yamaha road bike? Yeah, I didn't think so. A simple change to EBC DOUBLE-H SINTERED pads on my mt10 made a HUGE night and day difference alone. Yamaha, plz listen.

Tough choice between this and the rs660.

The rs660 I believe I can probably turn it into a mini tourer and take it to the track when I need to scratch that itch.

R9 when Yamaha!?

[Lunchbx]

Ive just got this same bike, interested to know more about the GYTR exhaust FS vs the latest version of Akrapovick exhaust racing line FS, struggling to understand the differences and why you would pick one over the other??

[grahamcorley]

Seems to be a nice bike, built on a budget, and called the R7 to get Joe public interested, but each to there own, not for me .Great review Dave 👌👌

[stuwhite]

There will only ever be one R7 in my eyes, can't imagine Haga on one of these 😂

[DavidMcKie-xe]

64 BHP, I did hear right I think. Sooner have another R6 thanks 👍

[paulwilkinson]

This video goes to show that they will let anyone on a you tube video, nowadays.
Nice to see Dave getting out of Norwich.

[TumzDK]

New riders: Oooh, that R7 is cooool!
Riders my age: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That being said, the 700 twin class sounds very interesting, but as I’m a VFR fanboy, I’ll stay with my 94 VFR RC36

Take the cat out the front pipe and you’ll have a full system
