Yamaha R7 Long Term Review

[@marius93]

Love my R7 aswell! Have put 10k kms in 5 months! Riding on backroads is where this bike shines. Its fast, but not so fast I will lose my license or go to jail immediately upon twisting the throttle! :D

[@ScoutsOut]

Nice, it is such a fun bike and nice we can get through a few gears before constantly breaking the law lol 🍻

[@dnaai]

whats the top speed?

[@ScoutsOut]

130-140 depending on your weight

[@ninjaarcades7356]

Go a tooth or 2 down on the rear might help only other things is race cams if you want more power

[@ScoutsOut]

I just bought new chain and sprockets, I went 2 up in the rear and 1 down, hopefully that will be good

[@DeathOnSpeedDial]

Bought the R7 as my first bike about a year ago and I love it. Enough power to keep me entertained and alive.

[@ScoutsOut]

Nice did you have any experience of riding before you got it if you don’t mind me asking?

[@DeathOnSpeedDial]

@@ScoutsOut I did a lot of mountain biking as a kid and I've always wanted a motorcycle. I bought the bike before passing the MSF so I was determined.

[@ScoutsOut]

@@DeathOnSpeedDial nice, msf course is so worth it, glad you are enjoying the bike

[@DeathOnSpeedDial]

@@ScoutsOut I had a retired CHP motorcycle cop as my teacher. He was a real hard ass but he taught me a lot. Is it worth it installing an air intake and flashing an ECU tune? Its only a few more horse power right? I know you said the main appeal of ECU tune is the reduced* engine breaking.

[@ScoutsOut]

Haha mine was too good experience, I think in the long run it’s better for the engine to run efficiently but yes the gain in power wasn’t huge

[@popdatclutch3010]

I used to ride 1000s and 600s. Then rode an mt07 and had so much fun. Lowkey obsessed with the r7

[@ScoutsOut]

yea its funny how we go back to the smaller bikes and just have a blast with them

[@101BadBreath]

Pure class, you and the bike. Just bought a 2022 60th Anniversary old stock of the showroom floor and looking forward to many happy miles.

[@ScoutsOut]

Thank you! I appreciate that. Congrats on the new bike, the 60th looks good! Cheers

[@charbelhv]

Super classy, super cool and handsome bike. Even if you're not too familiar with superbikes, R7 still has lot of things to offer. Great stability, balance also so clean on turns which is most important in a bike. Just not that killer bike but if you're street rider R7 might be the best option

[@ScoutsOut]

Haha so true!

[@codymiller6159]

For people who may not understand he keeps saying metal wires for the throttle , he is talking about throttle cables vs bikes that use electronics to sense throttle input

[@ScoutsOut]

Thank you lol I just couldn't spit spit it out lol

[@leanit5756]

On the forks, I weigh 167 stripped, and found I like it with the forks 1 turn in (total) on preload which gives me 35 mm total sag, compression 7 clicks out, rebound 2 clicks out. Though on a warm day and riding hard, a little more rebound damping might be in order. I have the shock preload on minimum which gives me 26 mm total sag. I have the shock rebound 1 turn out. I ride this thing pretty darn fast and the the tire wear looks pretty even. I run 34 PSI front, 32 PSI rear on the street with stock S22 tires... which I like. I love quick shifters (good ones), but on this bike, I really don't feel like it would add much to the experience. For me this basic bike is kind of nostalgic, it reminds me of my old Interceptor 500, SV650, and first year of production R6. I love this thing, it puts the challenge and fun back in street riding which can be lacking with a R1 or even a MT10. And it is damn fast in the corners. It would take a very good rider on a Super Bike or Super Sport to get a way from a really good rider on this bike on the road in tighter twisties. The riding experience reminds me of a SV650, but with much better suspension, ergonomics, and aero.

[@Oilyhands749]

My suspension settings pretty much identical to yours 👍 I’ve dropped the fork tubes to 11mm showing .

[@ScoutsOut]

that's awesome, I really need to learn suspension, I know I would enjoy the bike way more if it was tuned correctly. I can rebuild engines and transmissions but suspension has always been voodoo to me. I agree with the QS, its not a good one but if you are a newer rider and have never used one before it is really cool. haha forsure its such an amazing bike in the corners which is why I always go back to it just being such a great street bike, it shines on back roads. If you are willing to push the bike and have fun its hard to beat but if you just ride in a straight line fast, no its not a great bike for you then lol

[@mr.357mag4]

All the different videos in the R7 had me starting to think about the Buyers Remorse while waiting for my R7 to get delivered, between you and Chaseontwowheels it gives me a little glimmer of hope that it’ll be worth the upgrade and possibly some small power goodies down the road.

[@ScoutsOut]

It’s a great bike imo, what bike are you coming from?

[@pmacc3557]

R7 is a great bike. Have mine since May. No alterations as yet.

[@oozgan]

@@ScoutsOut why to change to R7 then?

[@mike_w_21]

My first bike (2024 R7) is about to be delivered next month. My liter bike buddies think I'll outgrow it in weeks but I think the "running through all of the gears" is a strong argument that may not have me wanting more bike so soon. I've been keeping my eye on what possibilities might be the step up (such as the 2025 R9) just in case and for that reason, I'm hesitant to make many mods to the R7. We'll see how it feels I guess. Thanks for posting this vid!

[@ScoutsOut]

Well congrats on the new bike! it all depends on what you do with the bike and sadly who you ride with. If your on freeways riding with people on liter bikes it will not be fun as they will leave you in straight lines. But if your more interested in the technic and racing, hitting back roads I think you will really enjoy it

[@mike_w_21]

I appreciate the feedback, thanks man!@@ScoutsOut

[@mackeymichael]

My last sport bike was a Fireblade 2010 model did about 160 Km/h in first gear at redline. As others have noted on the R7 you use the gears alot more. I've had it a week now and is much more suitable on public roads. In Victoria Australia if you do silly speeds the government will destroy your bike or car nowadays.

[@Baleur]

I may be an idiot since i havent even gotten my licence yet, but i feel like people who say the R7 "isnt fast enough" dont understand bikes at all (or cars for that matter). It's like saying a Mazda RX7 isnt fast enough, compared to a Mercedes SLR. No shit. The Mazda is built for extraordinary handling, and WILL be faster than an SLR on a curvy track. But the SLR will be faster on straightaways. I just dont get the mentality of "only fastest speed = good bike". Just shows the immaturity of the riders. Would you say a Harley is bad at what its meant to be, because it's slower than an H1? Or would you say a Husqvarna Vitpilen is bad because it cant be as comfy as a Harley? They're bloody designed for different purposes. The R7 was LITERALLY built for handling and being as light and narrow and nimble as possible, for the given displacement. It was NOT built to be an R6 upgrade in speed (which of course makes you wonder why they chose this name, especially given the older models that WERE faster). I just feel even people who've been riding for 10 years dont know the history of this model at all, nor its purpose. A great rider on the R7 will smoke a guy on a Hayabusa that makes 10 mistakes every corner.

[@ScoutsOut]

Well said, and one of the hardest things to display in a video that bikes are purpose built. Not everyone knows or can comprehend that so I just try and relay experiences and my interests

New rider here Sold my Ryker 900. Wanted to get an idea of what it’s like being on the road not being caged in. Sold it after about a year due to it being very wide and kinda slow. I think I hit top speed on it but it was struggling. A lot of straight highways around me. You think an R7 is a good choice or will I get tired of it?

[@ScoutsOut]

It’s a great step past the Ryker but if you don’t have twisty roads and it’s all straight line highways you will get tired on the r7 imo. The r7 has good torque and is fun for twisty roads but is suffers in top end speed, hope this helps

[@potato_420_69]

Hi Scout, thanks for the video. I would love to hear your opinion comparing this bike to the Kawasaki ZX6R 636. I am currently torn between those two. Thanks, boss.

[@ScoutsOut]

I wish I would have done that video when I had both bikes but I sold both the ninja 400 and zx6r when I bought the r7. The r7 is lighter and easier to throw around on back roads and has more low end grunt at lower rpms. While the zx6r is much faster but you have to be in higher rpms to get the power, but when you get in that higher rpm range it is fast, more than I need on the street. I see the 600 race bikes aka super sports as awesome track bikes and the r7 is a good track bike for riders that are newer to track days but really it's a perfect supersport style bike for the streets

[@potato_420_69]

Wow, thanks for the response. And compared to the 400, how do you feel. Also, feel free to make the video comparison. Even without having the bike we’d still love to hear your thoughts :)

I really want one of these for my first bikes, honestly might just pull the trigger and let it fly. My true passion besides trucks, is motorcycles and guns. I can’t wait to get my hands on one, of course with extra training cause god knows I’m an idiot and I’ll probably get too comfortable like I’m driving my truck. Which actually literally the same day I’m writing this, I almost got in a crash, there was a white suv on the right side of the road, going through a neighborhood really fast, and about to pull out in front of me, and a car coming on the opposite lane, I threaded the needle and I know if I hadn’t had a truck in that situation I would have definitely been thrown a 100ft up and 3 ft forward. I only say that because where I live some people have ZERO respect for motor cycles and it scares me every time because I’m very cautious and helpful to bikers any time I see someone riding one no matter what it is. Others will tailgate at a dangerous distance, swerve in front of them cut them off all of the stupid things people wouldn’t do in front of another vehicle, all because ‘they can avoid it bikes are agile and whatever’ people are stupid. But yeah that’s my little tid bit 😂 definitely going to be getting one of these, and taking plenty of classes and such.

Im in doubt between buying the r7 or rs660

[@ScoutsOut]

Yea that's a hard one, the 660 is faster no doubt and still has good torque down low just not as much as the r7 but the r7 doesn't have the top end of the 660. R7 slightly better for the streets with that in mind. Now for the real annoyances I have the r7 and tuono 660. When it comes to maintenance, repair parts cost 660 👎🏼 if you don't work on your own bikes and are good with paying the prices for repair and maintenance it's a rad bike

[@WilliamPedersen4]

so the rs660 costs more in parts and maintence? The big things for me is that the r7 is cheaper and doesnt come with all the tech on the other hand the rs660 just looks cool and has that comfy riding posistion and a bit more power. so the yamaha would be better for long term ownership in terms of money? but its nearly the same bike right? like without the tech and power difference?

[@ScoutsOut]

Yes, close to the same bike. The r7 is no doubt a less stressful ownership in the parts and maintenance side and will last much longer. I totally agree with the looks but the hotter she is the more drama and mo yea she is

[@ScoutsOut]

Dang that sucks bro, are you good from the crash?

[@deathtomorons9388]

Try some bigger bikes like the Mt09 and mt10. A review on the R1 would be cool.

[@ScoutsOut]

I haven’t been able to do any reviews on the bigger bikes, but I’ve rode many of them i liked the r1 the most just really didn’t see myself being capable of even using the power of it on the street or track. I really want to ride an MT09 or 10 those would be awesome

[@SeezYT]

0:30 what happened there? 😳

[@ScoutsOut]

Lol, i lost my front end a little

[@ninjaarcades7356]

Can you engine swap for mt09 straight in r7?

[@ScoutsOut]

Technically yes, but I’m sure it would be hard to do

[@ninjaarcades7356]

@ScoutsOut is it not just larger bore engine on the mt09 compared to r7 no you right r7 is a twin and mto9 is triple now after thinking about it they should have just few different power output types like flick of a switch on twin 72 bhp then 115 bhp map one so they could Still sale towards super sports class and still cost affective

[@ScoutsOut]

Yea, I really hoping they make an r9

I hope so, I’m getting itchy for another bike lol

[@trollingpatroll7196]

great video

[@ScoutsOut]

Thanks bro

[@2stroketyson79]

The only way I can see the R7 as a "beginner bike" is if the person already has experience riding other bikes with clutches like dirt bikes & stuff but if its ur very first time on 2 wheels & a clutch its not a beginner bike get a R3

[@ScoutsOut]

I agree its not a beginner bike, I tried making a video of explaining where it fits in the "beginner" realm but it didn't get much traction lol

[@805_6HUNNIT]

Is that HWY 46?

[@ScoutsOut]

Haha yea, 46 and then hwy 1

[@kushpaladin]

i really wish i got the R7 instead of my R3, but i have fallen in love with my '20 R3 and refuse to sell it. im on my 4th year

[@ScoutsOut]

Nice dude, I don’t think you should see it just pay it off and keep it when you upgrade. You can turn the r3 into a track toy!

[@t0mmyP1cklez]

Also, wheelies

[@ScoutsOut]

Lol yea it’s good at that too

[@Apopheros]

do you have aftermarket clutch lever or oem ones?

[@ScoutsOut]

Aftermarket, I went with these Yamaha R7 Levers kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWqTXmaNrcmEetE If you are able to compress them in a vise I’ve heard they are ok, if not I would get the ASV ones they have a set for the r7

[@prxject6686]

How tall are you?

[@ScoutsOut]

5'10" with a 32" inseam

[@prxject6686]

@@ScoutsOutdo you think I could drive the R7 with 6 foot 3?

[@ScoutsOut]

Might have to push that question to @bombgardener he is up there in height to. I was chatting with the owner of a bike shop a few weeks ago who had an r7 but he ended up getting ride of it cause his knees were hitting a weird spot on the fairing but he was insanely tall. Maybe 6'4 or 5. I would say go sit on one and see how it feels and check knee placement

FZ07 with fairings lol

[@ScoutsOut]

Yea kinda like that 👍🏼

[@2stroketyson79]

I think the bike companies made a deal with the exhaust companies! lol Ok guys we will give them the shittiest exhaust system as possible so they will ALL take them off & buy a aftermarket just cant tell them what aftermarket to buy that part is on them! DEAL!

[@ScoutsOut]

so true, I think they do too or they own them on the back end lol

[@Vetkiller]

I’m sorry I really can’t get over the sound. It’s a glorified dirt bike. I will stick with my 750

[@ScoutsOut]

I think it sounds much better in person but yea some people like the sound and some dont lol i always hated the sound of the inline 2 kawasakis but those have grown on me lately

[@Ghost_ZX636]

Those riding 👢 🤣🤣

🤣 I know right, I wasn't even planning on recording that day just wanted to cruz to the ocean and realized it had been 1 year with the bike lol

I want this bike so bad.

[@ScoutsOut]

im still loving it after 2 years, Ive been taking it to the track lately,... such a fun bike man

[@kermitketamine7198]

@@ScoutsOut I have a ninja 400. You think it’ll be a worthy upgrade. I bought mine used in great condition for 4k. This bike is over double that stock. Ninja doesn’t have enough get up for me.

[@ScoutsOut]

Yea there is a big power difference, but most notably a big ergonomics change to more of a race bike, which can be good and bad. Really just much less comfortable for longer rides

[@kermitketamine7198]

@@ScoutsOut I don’t really ride very long, the ninja is very comfortable. I’ll test drive the r7

[@ScoutsOut]

Ok cool, that might work out perfect then. For me anything over 45min and I want off the bike, but I really love the ergos
