The Yamaha R7 is an incredible machine with much to offer, but it's crucial to understand why it might not be the best starting point for new motorcyclists. Whether you're a beginner thinking about your first bike or a seasoned rider curious about the R7, this video has something for everyone.

What was your first bike?
⠀
My first bike was a suzuki gsf1250s bandit 😭R7 probably isn't that bad
I'm 46 and my first bike is a 2023 R7. Super fun bike. Not crazy powerful and good for the twisties and riding around town.
A KTM Duke 125....😅😅😅 not kiding....
My first bike was a 1979 Yamaha YZ125. I was 10. Since then I have ridden in super stock class, owned cammed and race suspensioned GSXR's, ZX7s, and a few Harleys and now have a Monster. I learned more on that YZ125 than all those bikes combined. I still think the perfect place to start as far as handling skills is a dirt bike.
I started on a mt07, i saw and still watching allot of videos about techniques and defensive riding. I think its just, the person who buy a motorcycle in my opinion has to know the basic about how an engine works, better saying, know what a clutch does🤣. My weakness its turning in tight places, i worked my ass off for years to buy my bike and i will do everything to not drop it, if i hade some more money i would buy an second handed 125 to do tight gymcanas but its not possible so. Agree with you anyone can start on anything, but have some knowledge about trail breaking and what target fixation is. Keep up! nice video!
I follow many channels. I now have a new channel to follow. Love the commentary. Looking forward to more videos.
Started on an R7, it’s not fast, but it’s quick. Know your clutch, respect the torque. Best experience I could’ve asked for. Now on a Panigale V2 Bayliss, world of a difference, all thanks to the R7
As a very first bike, thats probably not a good bike. But if you've ridden bike before, like a grom or a dirtibike, then yeah. You can, and should skip the whole 250-400cc class and do this bike.
thought this channel had thousands of subs. Great video man
Started on a 2023 ninja 400 until I got in a hit n run. Just got a gsxr-750 and the bike is a night and day difference. I can hit 84 mph in first gear and first gear on this bike is QUICK! Pretty sure it’s like 100 hp difference. I don’t think a 1000 is even viable after throwing my leg over this beast. Nice video. Cheers and ride safe everyone 🤙
For how light the 400 is. I highly recommend starting on a bike like this. While the engine breaking can feel a bit much at times when learning the weight alone will make the bike more fun.
Here’s a question I have yet to get any insight on.. I started riding dirt bikes a couple years ago started on a yz125 literally a week later on an xcf250 then a couple months later onto a fc250 race bike(motocross) then fc450. I’m still comfortably riding a husqvarna fc450 off-road ofcourse. Now I know dirt and street are totally different but I can safely manage a 450, does that still make me starting out street wise on an mt07 a bad idea? I’m really wanting to get on the road and I don’t think there’s anyway I could possibly get a 400 or even 500 without wanting to sell it for something bigger asap.
yea you right, I'm gonna go for an R1 as my beginner bike instead !!! thx for the advice !
I really want an r7 for my first bike. I’m 24, 6’2” 170. And it’s not cuz I wanna look cool or have a faster bike. I just don’t want to buy an r7 2 months after buying an r3z advice anyone ?
Buy the R7. I just started riding and I bought an R7, if you are responsible, you'll have a lot of fun without dying😂
@@raffoc_610 awesome! Thanks for the help! I’m def responsible now. 5 years ago no. But I trust myself to get an r7 and learn without trying to go crazy before hand. Thanks again 💯
@@veizii6096 no problem bro💪🏽. If you buy an R3, you will regret it after 3 months. The R7 will keep you entertained for a lot of time, and then in 2 o 3 years you could buy the new R9 hoping that it will come out
@@raffoc_610 yeah that’s my thought exactly I didn’t want to have to go thru multiple bikes before keeping one for a couple years. And yeah I hope the r9 comes out by then 😭but I want a bmw s1000rr tbh
Good vid dude. #StaySafe
Bro I also started on a grom, 5 years later 2024 mt-07 awhhh shiet
Twinn
been riding an F4i/0304 636 for a long time (60 tooth sprockets), love my stock FZ07. I can still wheelie at 5mph (trying to turn circles) on stock gearing/stock idle, and can ride long distance. I do think it could be a decent starter bike though.
trash opinions i have mt07 and im alive
ez
agreed
dude tellin the truth
facts bro🔥🔥🔥🔥
facts i hit 180 on my mt07 one time lmao , didnt die
I started on honda 600rr now have s1000rr bmw and would still buy r7 for the twistys believe me the amount of guys on thousands had no faith in the bends was amazing
And I'm by far the fastest
Ps honda 600rr very great bike 15 years never let me down
HONDA❤❤❤
duuuude love the camera settings. any chance i can get those from you? love the vid btw looking at getting an FZ/MT07 myself. just a little nicer than my 650
I switched from a GoPro hero 11 to the DJI Osmo Action 4, and those are the raw settings on the camera, lol. I am using an ND filter, though. The DJI is so much better overall. Check out @CapitainMidlife on UA-cam, he's got some great videos on it
We’re the same age I just turned 24 last month and I wish I would’ve got into riding at 19 when the pandemic was going on and I had the time and money to learn 😂😂
That's the only reason I bought a bike, lol. bored as hell at home
I started on a mt07 but im 32 years old and 240 lbs, and the bike will still pick the wheel up with ease and that can be uncomfortable for a new rider, let alone make you not wanna ride again for a while but as time goes on you feel more comfortable and get respect for the bike. Best advice i have is to ride your own ride dont worry about what others have/do just enjoy yourself and go at your pace
The only way to have a wheelie on the 07 is full throttle at 1st or full throttle at 2nd with some revving. Same with 3rd but much harder. If a rider goes full throttle at 1st it means he is incompetent for driving anything.
Dont spread missinformations like that.
@spiderthenics9462 lmfao thats cool for you to tell me what my bike does and for a new rider that's somthing that can happen so next time keep your dumb ass comment to yourself
@@spiderthenics9462 🤣😂 I'm glad you wasted your time to tell me what my bike does
My mt07 is my first bike…but I’m 6,4 250 and 39 yrs old 😂. She’s a toruey girl.
I’m 6’6 around the same weight, how’s ergonomics? Cramped? Let me know 🙏
@@postmodernjoeslightly, but it’s more comfortable than a supersport.
bro .. keys next to the tank??!! WHAT ARE U DOING!!??
It’ll be ok bud not your property or problem
It's wrapped 🤷🏽♂️
Yea, it all comes down to who is buying the bike and for what purpose. An 18 year old after a weekend course? Probably no. I wouldn't feel safe on ANY bike in traffic just after a 2 day course in a parking lot.
But as you mentioned in EU the driving education and getting license is very different. I jumped straight to the unrestricted category license (as 30 yo.) and it was 10 hours on practice course + exam and then another 30 hours in traffic + exam to get the license, the bike also had to meet minimum weight and performance requirements so we learned on a bike that is appropriate for the license category.
Personally I wanted to get an R7, but just around the time I got the license they bumped up the price of it significantly (at least here in Hungary) and it cost the same as an MT-09, so I went with the MT-09 as my first bike. I was nervous at first, but it's very manageable and easy to handle IF I am not an idiot. I only had a few scary moments when I was testing my limits 😅
What are thos long sleeves and gloves please 😢?
