I rode a 2001 R6 for 10 years (bought new). This was after 8 years riding experience including cutting my teeth on Palomar mt in SoCal on an Interceptor 500. The R6 was a great bike, but very difficult to ride. Not unmanageable, but certainly not something I would have recommended for a novice rider. Required too much high RPM engine time to get power, required clutch slipping from dead stops to get it going due to low torque, required a delicate right hand, and in general, was a nervous twitchy bitch! That being said, at track speeds it was amazing. The faster it went the better it got. It would willingly rev to redline through all gears and happily pulled me to 160 (indicated) on the track and got my knee down. This was all in stock form. Would I buy another one? Maybe. Would I ever recommend any 600 from about 2000 onwards to a new rider? Never. The R7 is, based on what I'm seeing, a great intermediate and above rider's bike. Not a beginner rider. Too fast, too much power. But it seems like a great slide in for what 600s used to be; manageable street bikes for the everyman. In the 2000s, that definition lost out to the battle for track supremacy and the consumer got left behind. Thankfully, manufacturers are realizing this and meeting consumer needs vs just their racing teams. I'm sure that in time, the R7 will end up in the same realm as the R6 - too much for an average rider. Until then, go for it and forget what people say. YOU are the one riding it. As for me, I'm content on my 2016 Thruxton R. 600cc HP and 1000cc torque. Fun for days.

I was lucky enough to buy two of these bikes from Lonestar Yamaha in Irving, TX back in August. I went from a R3 to a R7, and have no regrets. The R7 is the perfect transition bike for new riders like myself. Also, the dealer showed me a sub menu on the display by holding down SEL and turning the the key to the power on position. There are a few things you can adjust in that menu, like the shift RPM etc. Also had a quick shifter installed, I figured for the price, why not? I am looking forward to what more Yamaha has planned for this bike. Great bike!!!

I’m interested to know how the 4 cylinder compares to this twin

[@ambrosiad1588]

Yamie never mentions the CBR, he must hold it in really low regard. Just googled it apparently it has 94hp (copied and pasted below), it should be smoking these bikes CBR650R 70 kW (94 hp) at 12,000 rpm

[@WegIsWeg.]

I just bought a cbr650r bcs the cbr is a lot faster then the r7. And once above 8000rp the cbr is a beast and at lower rpm it is perfect for road use. The r7 is better if you are not planning to use the cbr in the 8000 and 12000rpm range. The r7 pulls in every gear on every rpm the cbr is more like drop a gear and disappear. I was considering an r7 and a cbr650r and i think i made the right choise. But it is personal, how you want to use your bike.

Comparing inline 4's to parallel twins only makes sense if you've never ridden either one

Awesome review! Love the direct honesty. I’ve already put down a downpayment for one of the World GP 60th Anniversary Limited Editions, because I was to progress to a sport bike. I’m also completely aware that 99% of my riding will be city commutes and weekend twisties. So I think this will be perfect for me. Still, you’re going to get the over compensating horsepower is everything boys in the comments lol

[@getty6974]

From what i've understood ninja650 and Aprilia rs660 is way better choice for that city commuting. The ergos on r7 are way closer to r6 than mt-07. For weekend twisties r7 is going to be a fun bike but if you do all your commuting on bike it might not be the best choice. Allthought engine is propably way more fun than the kawa650 and then the Aprilia rs660 is WAAAAY more expensive.

[@nicholasaguirre1661]

@@getty6974 not as bad as you think. I’ve put 4500 miles in 2 months and it’s my main commuter. First ride right when I got it I rode to San Jose from LA (400 miles) for MotoAmerica at Laguna Seca and honestly sucked on stock settings. But when I got back I adjusted my bars and suspension and levers and all the ergonomics to me and now it is a beautiful ride. No pain. Even did a 160mile trip to the desert and had no problems. It’s an amazing bike.

Theres nothing about the ninja 650 that makes it feel like a good hybrid of street and track bike. It’s a sporty commuter bike and that’s all. Whereas the cbr650r is a little more aggressive, better equipped for hard riding, and is overall a better competitor against the R7. Having a 4cyl doesn’t change that. The cbr650r engine is also designed to make its power a bit lower in the rev range making it more accessible compared to the engines in your 600 super sports. There’s more to a bike than just the number of cylinders it has.

Will this bike keep me sturdy on the open road around big trucks? I currently ride around on a 2009 Ninja 250R and it does need a bit more weight. Thank you again, have a good life!

[@trsskater]

I've never riden this bike but I have a ninja 400. The bike is about 366 wet and people say that I will get blown around a lot on the highway and I should get a 650 for the highway. The 400 seems perfectly fine. I'm commute at about 80 mph everyday for near 30 mins when it is warm enough to ride and there are lots of trucks on my highway. I've never felt a wind blast from them. It feels the same with them there or not. And I don't get blown around too much. So with the r7 being heavier you should be perfectly fine. Oh and I got a Corsa wind screen for my n400 to make driving at 80mph feel more comfortable and it works wonders without making it look like a dad bike.

[@nickq204]

I’ll be interested to watch the R7 vs Supersport on track video. I’m thinking that on a smaller track (2 mile circuit or less), the gap between the R7 and a 600 wouldn’t be that large because the 600 won’t be able to use its top end to the same degree that it would on a large track like COTA or even Eagles Canyon. A place like Harris Hill, I bet the R7 might be nipping at its heels, though I still expect the 600 to be a little bit quicker.

[@dennisclark9544]

On the smaller track, you'd just leave the 600 in a lower gear, high in the rev range and in its power band. They're happy to sit like that all day, they won't blow up from being super high in the revs for a long time. Smaller track, the r6 would still win by a mile.

I'd be interested in what Yam has to say there, but having ridden a ninja 650 and an MT07 and Tenere 700, the CP2 is a way better engine. Miles better. Sounds better, more power and torque. By the review here, I have to guess the R7 straight up spanks it.

[@patq1924]

@@Wintersdark it also cost 2000 dollars more for like 3 hp. The Ninja actually has more torque

[@Wintersdark]

@@patq1924 64NM @ 6700rpm for the 650, vs 67NM @ 6500rpm for the R7. R7 has more horsepower(5hp, significant at that level), and more peak torque. The CP2 is just a much better feeling motor, too. That CP2 is special. The R7 also offers a MUCH better suspension, and is fully adjustable vs only adjustable preload on the rear of the 650. If you want to ride them hard, you're gonna lose that 2k overhauling the Ninja's suspension. The 650 is a good bike, and a killer value for sure, but the R7 is simply *better*. For sure though it depends on your budget, much like comparing a Tenere 700 (more budget) vs a KTM 890Adv (more power, better suspension, more spendy).

[@anirbanpaul4049]

This is probably one of those rare channels where people throw their leg around a sport bike without complaining about the discomfort....i mean come on! according to me there are two iconic middle weight sports bikes in the modern era...the daytona and the r6! period! the low price makes this bike so accessible and i love that and yes one can fit an optional quick shifter too which is great! overall i love this bike and i hope unlike the r6 this makes it to my country. the only mystery that remains is how much mods one can make to the engine to make the performance more aggressive!

The first 48 seconds is exactly my point on why I don’t like bikes like this. And prefer rsv4 and r1. When he saw the Countach he was excited. The Countach is way too much car for the road but you know it’s more fun than a Mr2. Same with bikes

[@kkmaxg8543]

I know where you are going with this but I sort of disagree though. If you are skilled enough to ride RSV4 and R1 to the fullest, R7 is not for your kind of riders anyways. I've seen a lot of clips of people riding fast bikes but what most will do is just speeding on a street going straight line. If you are riding at the track and being passed by bunch of people with smaller displacement bikes, you are not skilled enough for that bike. Most people won't drive Countach at the track but people with MR2 does and as a person who've been tracking cars for years I've seen plenty of people with big ego and hp get their ass handed to them by S2Ks and Miatas. Same with the bikes.

One costs more, but sounds like it would be the better bike, but the other is a better value. If the R7 did not have that center headlight, I would likely pick it as my choice. I do like the RS 660 more, but it is also about 25+ more expensive out the door. The fact I can get a ZX6R for less than the Aprilia kind of hurts it as well. My main concern is for the R7 insurance, sounds expensive to insure (but I am 43, good record), so that may help immensely.
