In this video I discuss 6 key points in my decision for choosing the Yamaha R7 as my third bike, as opposed to a larger or faster bike like the Yamaha R1 or Ducati V4. The video also affirms and encourages riders to choose bikes that make sense for them instead of just "leveling up" to faster bikes on every purchase.

The R7 is the most practical of all the R series. It’s enough power and has enough to enjoy on the track and street.
it's the least practical.. it's a sportbike with half the engine
@@randyfox364 when you grow up and mature past the age of 13 you’ll realize “practical” doesn’t only mean “power”, granted the R7 has enough.
It’s enough power & it has enough power. Fantastic
@@randyfox364 lol half on what grounds? That it only has 2 cylinders? You're gonna say the same thing on the KTM RC 8C?
If anything, The R7's problem is the RPM limit. It's lower than even an R3, or even an R15. LMAO
I still remember the first ride we went on You have come along way, proud of you, bro
@@hanselperez6593 thank you bro
Enjoy the approach. Have to have my R1 though 😂 I have roads I can easily use the power on and I have a touring bike as well but I could see a liter bike is a tough sell for one’s only bike. I’ve had a liter bike for a decade and I honestly can’t see myself without one but I think that’s just a me thing. Yes, consumables and insurance is a SACRIFICE but the R1 is the best therapy I’ve ever had.
I began with a 250, going to a 600 next. Near 10 years in ive tasted minibikes, dual sport, adv, scooters. My last 3 years have been on an fjr1300 and im content to use it as a do it all. Likely going to a super tenere or goldwing next and adding something like an xsr900 or r1250r alongside it for the hooning. I encourage everyone to try out different types and intensities of riding. Offroad vs dual sport vs track vs touring are different skillsets entirely. Embrace the variety motorcycles provide us
@@mindwalkerpod I love this! I’m looking for a adventure bike or cruiser to try next for more endurance trips
I enjoy my r6 and don’t plan on upgrading anytime soon. 600cc are the sweet spot
Love my R6. Like riding a two stroke on the streets
yea but the R6 has literally been discontinued because NOBODY was buying it! It just sat on the showroom floor & collected dust because it cost way too much
@@340ironman R6 is nothing at all like a 2 stroke go drive a actual 2 stroke sport bike & find out
@@BoxingLegends2024 have both. Thanks for comment
I had 2 R1s long before I got my r7 & still ride the r7 way more lol had a r1 for 19 years lol I put 93 in my R7 regardless what It can take tho lol I went with the loudest pipe possible too I want to be seen & heard lol
I understand where you are coming from! Great video!
Thats the beauty of the motorcycle world/community. There are different types of bikes for different types of riders. Not every belongs on a super sport as their first bike. Only reason why I would be for someone getting a liter bike for their first bike is if they have previous riding experience on two wheels. The newer bikes have so much technology, that you literally put it in the slowest mode (c-mode) until your ready to move to the next mode.
New sub! I started a ninja 650 it was a great beginner bike
Thats why i want 2 bikes an R7 and R1 the R1 for fun times and R7 for daily driving
Good thoughtful video. I've ridden them all and have 6 in the stable now including a MT10 and T7 for comparison. The cp4 motor is over double the power of the cp2 in the R7, MT07, T7 . Night and day. The cp4 is so rowdy and simply awesome but I really love riding the T7 off road. I spend just as much time on the t7 and 75hp is awesome in the dirt but on the street it feels so anemic. Its just not nearly enough for a full fairing race bike. Love it in the T7 though and its definitely a bulletproof motor.
@@benbeem9902 sounds like a dream garage right there. Do you get to ride them all or are some of them left out most of the time?
Just got lit up doing 68 in a 50 with my r7. Lucky I got off with warning, but it ain't no joke cruising and not paying attention to speed. Especially when it's cold and just trying to get home. Easy to speed without realizing it.
@@andyrips834 see that 68 is easily 98 on an R1. Hard to have peace of mind with that
Good review 👍
So would you say that r7 is a good beginner bike ?? Because I really been looking in to getting a bike and my motorcycle license and I want a Yamaha but stuck between which one I should get for my first one r1, r6 ( which I hear might be to fast) or r7 ???
@@lanalana0831 out of those 3, definitely the R7. R1 is an absolute no go for a beginner - it is way too fast, way too powerful and way too expensive for you to learn proper technique and be safe as a beginner. R6 is really aggressive so also not ideal for a beginner because it may be difficult to learn some techniques. R7 would be a solid beginner bike if you want to start with a sport bike but I recommend more upright bikes like the Kawasaki Ninja 400 or the Suzuki SV650 as starter bikes. But the R7 is doable for sure, just have to take your time and learn the fundamentals
the r7 is the bike i want to start on, and keep for a long time. I don’t trust myself with a bike capable of 180. The r7 is also torquey in the low end, not to mention it’s light and narrow, perfect for a daily (which i need as im still in highschool, and plan to daily drive it ontop of borrowing parents cars). Another thing is i’m 5’2 (30 inch inseam) and the r7, while tall, is narrow enough on the seat for me to stand up and feel confident riding, not to mention riding boots will give me another inch or even two
R7 is only good to start on if you already know how to ride a bike with gears & clutch if not I wouldnt even start on a r7
@@BoxingLegends2024 i’ve done extensive research and i’ll be learning to drive a high powered manual car before i get on a bike, so i feel like ill have the skill and experience i need to understand the mechanics of a bike and how to respect its power
Great video!!! Subbed n 👍
@@hulkhulk5141 welcome to the fam!
Sure, it's a 700, but it's also a parallel twin, and not an inline 4, and that makes a big difference. The R7 doesn't suck compared to an R6 because it's really an apples and oranges comparison... it has supersport styling, but it's really not a supersport...
me who wants an R7 because of its sound being loud xD (ofc i know it's the exhaust holding back 90% of the sound)
its not the exhaust its the CAT converter that eliminates all the sound
@@BoxingLegends2024 which is a part of the exhaust no?
Yeah man, I have to run from the law, on my r1 like once a week. But, it's a good time.
I love my r7 yo.
Good video
i understand why you chose the r7 over the r1 but why did you choose the r7 over the rs 660?
@@IversonGR good question! Price and reliability!
😊 first
🔥🔥🔥 video
✅️Used bike buying video
2 cyl bikes sound like ass and doesnt sound like the classic true motorcycle ill skip this one id rather get a 18 year old bike that does not sound like a beefed up grom
If you want a true classic motorcycle you should try strapping an 80 cc two stroke to a bicycle! Nothing new is more classic than that.
@@devonnobles1083 🤣
I see we don't know what classic means 🤣🤣🤣
“classic” doesn’t mean the arbitrary era of bikes you personally like lmao just put the fries in the bag bro
My ducati 1198s disagrees with that statement
R7 sux
