Yamaha YZF-R7 & YZF-R6 Review | Beyond the Ride

The Yamaha YZF-R6 is no more with 2020 being its last year in production as a road-legal racebike. In its place, we have the Yamaha YZF-R7. Instead of a four-cylinder motor the new supersport gets a 270-degree parallel twin motor. If that sounds familiar, that's because it comes from Yamaha's other road bikes. Will the R7 have what it takes to match up to the R6? Serve as its successor? Or can the R7 be better? Find out in this episode of Beyond the Ride.

Is the Yamaha R7 any good? Is it better than the R6? Find out in this Beyond the Ride.

1:10 - 2:00 I feel you! As someone whose first bike was a sportbike, spending my younger days with what feels like unlimited energy was exhilarating! But as years passed by, and got older my body started to complain - even when at times my mind still wants to. Dang I relate so much! 😂

Great video. People need to stop comparing these bikes. Yamaha never marketed the R7 as a substitute for the R6. All it is doing is filling a void between the R3 and the R1 in the middleweight class. It's an entry-level supersport with it's ergonomics and output. The R7 is a bike you can kind of commute on in the weekday and track on the weekends without really needing to change anything. It comes with duel front rotors, adjustable front and rear suspension, Brembo radial master cylinder front brakes, fairings with openings for aftermarket frame slider access, optional factory/race Akra exhaust system and an optional quickshifter. Not only does this bike have many of the features of the R6 and R1, it has things that both of those bikes don't too, including some of the aforementioned.

It's a different bike serving a different purpose. If you put the R7 next to the R6, of course the R6 gaps it. They aren't the same. It's like saying the Ninja 650 was meant to be a replacement for the ZX-6r. It's just not true. Overall, great video.

i own an mt09 2016 and a r6 2007. when i do rides on my R6 and in city traffic, i'd tell myself that i wish i have brought my mt09 but when im in open highway and twisty road oohh lala!!! the joy of my r6 is peerless.

[lyricaesthetic]

As much as I love the pure inline 4 sound of r6 but damn r7 really caught my attention

[DefinitelyNotIU]

Sir Jinno, will you review the Tiger 900 GT Low? Kinda curious about that one since you reviewed the Tiger 660.

[markcarlo]

Up. Wasnt able to fully understand if this has a sound of an inline4 engine, because as much as i can hear it, its not. Please explain if i am wrong or not. Thank you. ❤

Back pain when you get old that is why i sold my R4 years back and went to classic cafe racer which i enjoy riding.

[milanS]

After buying both, I still prefer (overall) my R6 over R7. Especially sound & the speed kick

[rjcmani]

Waiting for your thoughts on CFMOTO’s 450SR.
i’m planning on buying a sportbike and i’m torn between the R3 and the 450SR. (yun lang kaya ng budget ko lol)
i hope you can review it. LOOOVEEE THIS CHANNEL! more power to you sir Jinno and to your team

[vevonhaye]

Where in south Carolina I get a nice r6 to buy

[venomulimited]

I've owned sport bikes for the last 9 years and i take long 1 hour plus rides almost every weekend and the only pain i get is in my hands from the vibration.

[benorim]

😢😢😢😢 My 2017 R6 was stolen 24 hours ago. I had it in the raven black color. Feeling empty.

[ZeroFudgeGiven]

Great video, just a slightly weird complaint. All the millimeter and centimeter talk is fine on seat height, but you then say you are 5 foot 6. Which I can just google the conversion, but kind of a weird comparison.

[sandman]

So what bike in 2023 exists that could compete with an r6??

[nply]

I bought a new R7 instead of a used R6 because I, as a beginner rider, wanted a supersport feeling without the sheer power a supersport has. Also I love that Yamaha is the only company that makes a true middleweight supersport. The Ninja 650 and CBR 650R are touring bikes and that I don’t like

[sauravbeck]

ultramagnus to that Optimas cool Transformers reference..

[nth]

I don't get why the sv650 sport got a pass and was never compared to the gxsr 600, but the r7's always compared to the r6. Same with the cbr and ninja 650 vs their 600 counterparts.

[casualridingtv]

Sir Jino...maybe you can make a review of the Hunter 350 from Royal Enfield...hehe..
