R7 is no where near a ninja 650. R7 is way faster both top speed, and acceleration. Yes it has a parallel twin. But you forget to mention it's a cross plane motor. Cp2's are very, very torquey. I can snap my fz07 up at 60 no issues in 3rd. Tops out at 140... tune, exhaust, and intake...

[@shiftingflames1014]

All the 650s are also litre bikes broski that's why a 650r CBR is slower than a 600rr cbr

[@dominickjohnston5881]

@shiftingflames1014 the 650's are not considered Supersports. Both insurance and the actual description from manufacturers do NOT call a 650 a super sport. Now, the cbr650r I am not sure of. But the ninja 650 is not a Supersport

[@ninjaarcades7356]

With some ram air would complete the r7 120 bhp

[@callsignkasper624]

@@ninjaarcades7356Nah man, it’s gonna need 82mm x 71mm with racing cam and Ram air to make that power.

Love this review pops

[@Jay-rq8wb]

I had a fz6 as my second bike. Was super fun. I sold it and now i want back into riding and the r7 seems to be the route i want. I want something sleek and sporty but not too fast. Something i can cruise on.

[@geofreywilliams8014]

Only watching this video because one of these were pulling even against my WRX. Was shocked and to be honest, it owned me in 1st, 2nd was even and stayed that way through all the gears… impressed

[@Nightfury.r7]

Dude, this was an amazing video! Crazy how you only have 9K subs, i expected way more by how good the quality of the vid is. Those pulls you did were absolutely perfect. The high RPM’s and stuff.. ughhh 😩🤌🏻 I got the exact same 2023 R7 myself and man even on video’s it sounds absolutely menacing. You earned a sub with this vid. ❤️

Thank you bro 🫶

wow that a lot of paint swirls for such a new bike. does your friend wash his bike with rocks and sand paper?

Really cool video, I tried my Buds R7 and loved it. I'm between R7 and the RS660.

[@carterleewalker]

I did a video on the rs660 as well, kind of comparing the two if you want to check it out 🤙

[@Hugo_clmt]

Can't decide between the 2 either ! will have to try them both once I get my licence :)

[@joshshuman6402]

same dude for my first bike Lmk how it goes dude!!!

[@CT-ip3cb]

Update? I’m thinking about upgrading but I’m on the edge between the 2. Which one did you end up getting?

[@IndyMotoRider]

If there is an Aprilia dealer near you get the 660. You won't be disappointed.

[@ChristianTherms]

I think R7 isn’t a bad bike but I beliave if certain rider are going to transition I honest say a grom is would better beginner bike to learn wheelies most people grew up riding dirt bikes or pit bikes before they got into super bike .

[@glockmodder]

i see you are in the Dallas area south Dallas here homie😎

Keep up the content✊👊✊ Review the Aprillia RS660 another beginner bike .

Ive gone 145 on the speedo on my r7😁took a sec but i got it there🤣and bruh i dropped my r7 the second time i broke my throttle tube😂dope ass first bike💙so much famn fun

[@averagegamer9417]

I don’t understand how people consider this bike beginner friendly and a rs660 Less friendly. I’ve ridden both and with all of the bells n whistles on the 660 I would consider that bike way more beginner friendly than the R7

[@radreviews4314]

What exhaust?

[@jerodwolford2743]

Kinda dissapointed that the r7 isnt as playful as the mt07 but im not entirely surprised either. Just sounds like the mt07 is the all around better deal. I feel like the only time youd really want an r7 is if you wanted to compete in super twins and just dont like the gsx8r, ninja 650, cbr500r, or the rs660.

[@omyxasian9802]

bro im hoping that we meet at like a carmeet or bike meet someday

one of the weirdest bike trends coming out right now. the low end torque and almost the sound of a cruiser but in the package of a super sport. the yamaha davidson.

It's a garbage trend but if that's what people want to buy, demand drives sales.

[@robertkenney6002]

Lewiston Idaho?

[@frankkolarik5022]

I've owned a 636 and a zx10r. I figured the r7 would be a good bike to behave on.. I knew it was gonna be slower but I'm kind of disappointed it the engine performance. The bike handles like it's on rails but lacks power. Yamaha claims 143 top. I can't find a road long enough to get over 130. Wish I would have just went with a true 600 class

[@kasmarkada9678]

You went from a 1000 to a 600 pretty much sums it up I don't care whether they claim 700 or not 636 tuned kawi will run with this bike all day. Once you get use to speed the speed your use to becomes slow. It's a chase that will never satisfy the last thing you should have ever done is go backwards in the speed and expect satisfaction! JS

[@jacksonmckinnerney6263]

this is fort worth or Dallas

I'm still deciding between this and a cbr650r. Can you ride it for a vid?

@@carterleewalker is there a major difference between r7 and the r6 is the power really that different

[@JWCV]

@@koki_9248r6 has a much higher rev range and high end power. The power band in an r7 is much more linear with good low end torque. Lot better for city and street riding and a little better ergonomics

[@user-qq2uv2pd4w]

I’m getting a bike in the near future, I thought about the ninja 400 but what is stopping me from getting the bike I actually want (R7) is the maneuvering, and I guess that doesn’t really matter what bike I take because it’s something I’ll have to get used to but my question is, is the R7 a good first bike? Like the weight and stuff?

Just get the r3

[@ag742_]

Definitely not a good first beginner bike, pushing the wrong info. Buy a 400 for cheaper and learn fundamentals, turning and braking. I guess if your going in a straight line like this you and never turning it'd be good but to each is own. Not sure why people give advice on bikes with only freeway pull experience, then crash. Probably not the best advice or image for new riders, but your not forcing anyone to smash on the freeway it's up to them at the end of the day. Ride safe.

[@carterleewalker]

I don’t understand, this bike is only about 10mph faster than a 400. Given that I can see someone getting this first & keeping for awhile. Rather than upgrading to a 600 too early. On the other hand you also have people saying “Start on a 600”. So I really don’t see the problem with starting on an R7

[@ag742_]

I don't expect you to understand, you were in the hospital after speeding through heavy traffic on a video you posted. You have to get experience to teach others, or you'll push the wrong info like so many moto vlogger's do as your doing now. Might hurt your ego but if your smart you'll be open to learning. Telling people what bike to get as a beginner based off speeding on the highway ain't it. Go hit the track and give a full review not just a freeway or group ride running in a straight line. Those who say a 600 or anything above a 300/400 are wrong. You have to learn how to walk before you run. Hopefully you come full circle before it's too late views, likes, and ego can cloud one's judgement ride safe! @@carterleewalker

[@carterleewalker]

@@ag742_ Did you watch the hospital video? And see what caused it lol. Trust me, I am all about learning and I advise any & everyone to get a 300/400 as their first bike. On all of my social medias. The thumbnail is just for you to click. If you were to actually watch the whole video I said you could start on this bike, which is a very valid point. A lot of new riders are stubborn and get whatever bike they want, they’re going to get. 400/600/1000. Doesn’t matter. My input doesn’t matter. But I do firmly believe someone CAN start on the bike. Not everyone wants to be a track star. That’s something you have to learn as well, there are people that want to just chill and get a sporty looking bike that isn’t a death trap… like the R7.

@@carterleewalker I didn't make it out to be wicked at all, it is just not a beginner bike, it's a low intermediate at best.
