    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.

      If anything, The R7's problem is the RPM limit. It's lower than even an R3, or even an R15. LMAO

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 ???

    • @IceTheCloser
      @IceTheCloser  3 дні тому

      @@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

    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...
