      ​​@@oriolb3chYou can't be more wrong.
      R7 doesn't have any new engine, it's the Mt 07 engine that's adapted for a sports bike.
      It's for street riding, not for a track

      @oriolb3ch 2 роки тому +2

      @@Chambers36TheEnter you're comparing different engine sizes with different euro-restrictions probably.
      Even for comparing same models between different years, things have change:
      For example my Street Triple 2008 675cc makes 115hp (redline 13.5K rpm) on dyno which is nearly the same as the newer 765cc (redline 12k rpm) triples that have +100cc and newer technology and we all could expect to perform way better, but actually power ratio is worse because I need to be compliant with all the regulations.
      I'm not saying that newer engines can't produce more hp, I'm saying that it's way more difficult now (time consuming and money) for manufacturers to squeeze more power and still be compliant, therefore on many occasions they opt for releasing a "new" bike that replaces and older model with less cylinders. Such as the R7 with old R6 or new Honda Hornet (2 cyl) vs old Hornets (4 cyl)

    • @casanovatigo
      @casanovatigo Рік тому +1

      @@mattgledhill4539 You will regret getting a r7. It's in the same league as the 650, a few extra horsepower, maybe 7hp or 8hp, a more aggressive riding position and a somewhat decent suspension. If you want the race bike experience, it's either 600cc, 750cc ou 1000cc. These parallel twins serve their purpose, but the racing excitement is not there. Cheers.

    Did that get sorted out with the flash, or is it still needed to be kept plugged in. You didn't touch on if that was an issue still.

      It’s the damn Euro 4&5 emissions…BMW built that parallel twin a long time ago(stil does) and it was weak/slow/lame and I could never figure out why they did it. Well they knew the eco/carbon tax was coming around the corner and wanted to get a jump on it. Like muscle cars peaking at the end of the 1960’s motorcycles are going to get lamer and lamer my fiends. My suggesting is get your dream superbike and hold on to it forever…then just wait for the Mad Max Thunder Dome end of times.

    Why do people keeping saying this will replace the R6?. This is the same engine(CP2) as the MT07, Tracer 700 and Tenere 700. The R9 will replace the R6. The R9 will be faster with a broader power band and one less cylinder. It's part of Yamaha moving everything to their very successful "CP" line of engines.

    The ZX6R 636 blows that R7 out the water by a far. I like how the R7 looks though. It's a good looking bike. But as far as power the Ninja ZX6R has the R7 beat.

      Apples to oranges. The r7 is basically a mt07 with fairings. Great mountain road carver, but not a race bike like the 636 or the gsxr600

      The R6 and R7 are the best looking bikes on the market. It’s a shame the R7 is neutered and even with tuning can’t touch an R6. Is the move to wait for the R9 or buy a ZX6R?

    So, are you getting your best power with it around 13-1 A/f? And you get that pretty much right through. I ran my old BSA twin on a dyno without taking main jets with me, and it started pulls at around 18-1 and by 7,800 it was down to 14.8-1 or so. I changed jets after and that which seemed to help the midrange even on the needle. That 1970 motor was enlarged from 654cc to 883cc and even being lean made 85hp. I also wonder if it had tyre or clutch slipping a little. The R7 sounds really good with that pipe, this is what an old pushrod motor sounds like;

    This is one of my video's of a couple of us just doing some rev's, but the sound of the Akropovic on the R7 on my right is insanely deep and def turns heads when you hear it.
    Is there anything out there similar in sound for an 2023 Suzuki GSX-R 750? Link: ua-cam.com/video/rRaZdKJuthk/v-deo.html

    I love the look. But.....I ride a 2019 MT07 and it's.....ok. it's an entertaining cheaply built nose diving wheeling machine. Outside of that it's very uninspiring to me. Putting this same bike in a sportier sport bike package doesn't seem like it's going to make it any more fun. I am a fan of the higher RPM rush. Not so much the low end grunt. I've ridden cruisers and now this MT07. The power down low is nice, but they get real boring real fast once I'm off city traffic roads. I'm also older and not super fond of leaning over a tank and having a sore back and shoulders and wrists after long rides so cruisers and nakeds have been my go-to. But, I love the top and rush of a nice sport bike. I'm now looking to sell my MT07 so I can pick me up a last gen Suzuki GSX s750. I test road one of those bikes and not only are they comfortable, but they have the awesome fun top end rush that a sport bike would have. I wish Yamaha would bring back the FZ6 and FZ1. I think those bikes were way ahead of their time and they would definitely get my money now.
