Wow, the Yamaha fanbois got mad about this one 🤪

[@glenndelacruz2906]

R7 is made for the twisties, not boring straights or city streets

[@DELL.ACNT.]

I agree with prettymuch everything you said. That being said i still think its a cool bike, but I'm really hoping they release the R9. I feel like that would be sweet, a fully fared varient of an mt09 would be sick.

[@UrbanMoto]

I agree 100%!!

[@bonky2023]

my guy bought a bike of that caliber of being a sports bike and complains about the comfort....💀

[@UrbanMoto]

I know what I did to myself haha!

[@mencibenci]

the only thing I hate about my R7 is the extremely low quality paint job, the clear coat scratches even if you look at its general direction. I’ve got a black one, I baby it, it’s still full of scratches :( otherwise imo it’s the perfect city sportbike.

[@aceterry1074]

May i ask how much is going to cost u to paint some high quality paint?

[@mencibenci]

@@aceterry1074 I have no idea, I haven’t done anything to it yet, someone else might wanna chime in in terms of how much it costs

[@UrbanMoto]

@@mencibenci That is interesting cause I have not noticed that per say. I did see some clear coat peeling on the gas tank but didn't think much of it. Maybe I need to look at it more carefully.

[@glenndelacruz2906]

there is a ceramic wrap

[@GooseCheeto]

Damn getting so much hate because you are saying you don't like something about the bike. Sorry Urban Mottoi guess you can not have an opionion

[@UrbanMoto]

haha it's all good! All my 5 things I hate videos get flamed! People get defensive on the things they enjoy and like :)

[@GooseCheeto]

@UrbanMoto I get it but damn it is so annoying

[@oceanview418]

So I just sold my R7 because I ride an hour to work everyday and it just was not as comfortable as I wanted. I'm looking at the 2024 Yamaha Bolt. Thoughts?

[@UrbanMoto]

Honestly? I would get an MT07 or MT09. The bolt is nice but it’s not a great commuter. Only 5 speeds :-/

[@glenndelacruz2906]

I think you're lost?

[@DELL.ACNT.]

Mt07.

[@kobefowler8397]

since you're also an engineer you can tell yamaha engineers how they're meant to make a two cylinder bike with 689cc make 100hp without raising the price point lol, R7's sell very good for a very good reason

[@UrbanMoto]

I don't disagree but don't you think they could have at least tuned it a bit different to give the bike something the MT07 doesn't have? Totally understand the bike was made for 2 different riding styles but dang. Yamaha could have at least thrown a tune on there :)

[@RACKzMx]

😳 I disagree with 99.9% of what you said. That bike have more then enough power and torque to have fun and it’s fast enough. And turn the brightness up on the dash if you can’t see smh

[@UrbanMoto]

Get a tinted visor though and tell me it's easy to read? Also power and tq is subjective. I think it's overall terrific but it could use a little more to make it different from the MT07?!

[@BoxingLegends2024]

@@UrbanMoto you can tuck the clutch cable under the clip bro its not that serious

[@jakegarcia84]

Bro you just need to adjust your brightness lol 😢

[@UrbanMoto]

Still can’t see jack lol

[@serowi2337]

what happened to the rmz450 videos?

[@UrbanMoto]

Oh man….. life… it just sat then moved houses and work. I sold it in parts 😢

[@TheMrWiktor]

Why people hate yamaha r7, but they albo say that Yamaha mt 07 is great and super duper for beginners? It's the same bike! I don't understand

[@UrbanMoto]

Ride them both and tell me that 🤷🏻‍♂️🙃 same fundamental bike but very different at the same time. MT07>R7

[@vth4349]

Terrible opinions. With that price point it’s offering way way way more than these complaints Plus all of them are hugely subjective. Coming from a Ducati I absolutely love the R7

[@UrbanMoto]

I love the R7 to which is why I bought it! :) These are minor complaints coming from other fully faired bikes. I'm just sayin Yamaha could have made it a little more comfortable with a little more adjustability with slightly more power for how they were marketing it no?

[@kobefowler8397]

do you hate the seat cause you're overweight? can swap it out maybe

[@luisl4984]

sounds like a grom thats my #1 that cy is trashhhhh

[@glenndelacruz2906]

it means you are just a soft rider
