I've just bought a 24 after 30 years of not riding and it's not the power that scares me; it's the snatchiness. Tiny throttle movements at low speed shoot you forward or back. I'm sure I'll get used to used to it (maybe use 2nd gear when riding slowly) but atm it is taking me some time to get used to.

So would you say that r7 is a good beginner bike ?? Because I really been looking in to getting a bike and my motorcycle license and I want a Yamaha but stuck between which one I should get for my first one r1, r6 ( which I hear might be to fast) or r7 ???
@IceTheCloser2 ай бұрын
@@Misunderstoodillustration out of those 3, definitely the R7. R1 is an absolute no go for a beginner - it is way too fast, way too powerful and way too expensive for you to learn proper technique and be safe as a beginner. R6 is really aggressive so also not ideal for a beginner because it may be difficult to learn some techniques. R7 would be a solid beginner bike if you want to start with a sport bike but I recommend more upright bikes like the Kawasaki Ninja 400 or the Suzuki SV650 as starter bikes. But the R7 is doable for sure, just have to take your time and learn the fundamentals
