I take a look at what new and beginner riders need to think about when it comes to the Yamaha YZF-R7 as a first bike, particularly focusing on the suitability, ergonomics, rider fit and seat height, as while the bike offers features seen across many of the 650-class bikes, the big standout is being a real 'sportsbike.'
The R7 is best considered as one of the most advanced beginner options available for inexperienced riders that expands well into the intermediate bike category, and is probably not going to be the general go-to choice for all new riders.
For those with a little riding experience, joining riding at a later stage of life with a bit more maturity, or who really want a supersport 600 cc, the YZF-R7 is likely to be a great option, and certainly a far better and safer starting point than any 600 cc supersport machine.
The YZF-R7 offers some great advantages if you're into sportsbike, racing or track days, but obviously isn't the most popular setup on the road, or specifically for new riders, with most beginner aimed motorcycles instead offering upright bars and seating position, relaxed 'pegs and a comfortable seat.
The R7 is closer to what you'll see on a supersport (600cc) or superbike (1000cc) sportsbike, setting it apart.
