Australia's MCNews road- and track-tested the 2026 Yamaha R7, a strong seller, evaluating both the LAMS-compliant version for Australia's learner-rider license and the high-output (HO) version. The latest model is said to go well beyond a minor update, with substantial changes throughout. The entry-level sportbike staple broadens its appeal further.

Take the R7 to a track and its good bones really show. Using the parallel-twin's low-end pull, opening the throttle coming out of a corner — that just-right feeling is great. Learning the basics on the LAMS version, then stepping up to the HO version, makes total sense as a progression. A perfect partner for learning how to ride properly.

Is LAMS Australia's own power-restriction system for new riders?

Testing it on both public roads and the track makes it much easier to judge how practical it actually is.

It says the changes go beyond a minor update, but I'd want to check the actual bike to see how fundamentally different it really is.

At this price point, it'll probably get compared against LAMS-friendly rivals like Honda's CBR650R.

The R7 keeping up sales like this shows just how strong its position is in the entry-level sport market.

An article that tests both the LAMS and HO versions is genuinely useful.

Curious exactly how big the horsepower gap is between the LAMS version and the HO version.
