Yamaha Unveils Revamped YZF-R7, Boosting Performance with Redesigned Frame and Swingarm

Honestly, in this class the Aprilia RS660 is faster and better equipped.

It leans sporty, but with a twin that has solid low-to-mid torque, it should be a blast on winding roads.

Once the frame changes, the outgoing model becomes a great used buy. I'll be watching for a used old R7.

With the R6 gone now, I get why the R7's the right call as a practical sportbike. Twins are easygoing, which is nice.

There's no mention of horsepower, but if that's unchanged, calling it a 'redesign' feels like a stretch.

Even with a frame revision, it's still based on the MT-07 in the end, right? Smells like the engine's unchanged.

The R7 refresh is here! An asymmetric swingarm, that's some serious attention to detail, I want one.
