R7 is a good bike for the city, something modern and bigger than the R3 but it's not a true successor to the R6. They made it coz of the stricter regulations in Europe. The R6 is just a dying breed of bike, it's more for purists or if you want to take it on a track. Most newer riders prefer either a 2 cylinder or a literbike, it's just not making enough sales anymore that's why they stopped producing it.
Got my 2022 R7 with 2miles, about to hit 64k miles, commute 114 daily. It's definitely not a R6 but for what it is, it's a fun bike. M4 exhaust is great on it. No issues with Mirrors or vibration 🤷♂️
@@musadiqsayed5427the motor in the R7 is the same as in the MT-07 it's a very good motor especially if it comes to reliability. This Motor is quite old but because of that mostly all problems it had are gone. So it'll probably go much more. Sure it's a bit different from the Engine tuning itself but it's still the same engine and also the Tenere has the same in it just a bit different tuned.
I'm glad I went with the r6, I test rode a new r7 and almost got it until I saw a used r6 pop up for half the price. Sure having a new bike is going to feel better in some ways but I think that the R6 aged much better than the R7 will.
so i added an R7 to my stable with my GSX 1000 and I actually like the R7 better. other than straightline speed and massive torque the r7 is funner and better looking. the r7 is indeed shorter. I have short legs and enjoy that
Hope to see you out and about in Tacoma this summer. love seeing you and other creators around my area do so well on CZcams. hope to have a great following like you one day.
I have two sport bikes. A CBR1000RRa, and the R7. The R7 is a comfortable bike you can sling with the best of them. The CBR is a weapon. Which bike I choose depends on my mood. If I'm going on a chill ride I take the R7. If I'm looking to be humbled I take the CBR.
For my 2022 R7 i got the zero gravity tinted screen, flush side markers, the womet tech crash set, tech gear tank pads, Rage cycles tail rear fender elim kit, MG bike levers, and XK Glow led lights and the KO lightning exhaust. The sound is epic.
His R6 is flashed tho, and we don't know what torque that one makes. It could be closer to the cp2, but with the added hp and smoothness feel identical.
@@adobomoto That's what's up!!!! Yeah bro, if I can make it and say wut up, I will do so. When you know the day let us know. I will drive cause I don't have a Ducati. Haha
Awesome video! I started on a 650 twin as well (sv) and want to try a smooth I-4. The torque of the twins is more apparent in less than 50mph. Plan is to get a gsxr 750 later but no rush. Yesterday was really nice but I was snowboarding for the first time in snoqualmie pass :) today (mon) is 60 so I get to enjoy the nice weather today Quick q bro do you use a mic or just the action cam audio?
I ride an R7 and love it. For me it's perfect since I live in the Netherlands where Highway speeds are capped at 100km/h until 19:00 after which it gets turned back to European standard highway speeds (130km/h). And I mostly use it for a daily work commute, so the low RPM torque is perfect. It's a little light bike with plenty power for cities and overtaking on our highways. Am about to buy a BMW F850GS for weekend touring and enjoying some cross country trips though. Did that on my R7 with a backpack on and it was awful. Sitting so aggressive and with a backpack on is just killer.
been watching you for months and just realized we're in the same neck of the woods! ride in Ruston area all the time. Maybe bump into each other some day!
Man, I'm hella confused as to how you ride around all year round just about in the PNW. I'm just north of you on Vancouver Island and I've been shut down since November lol. Props to you bro!
@@keithquinn5624 I'm well aware. I ride an R6 and to be honest, I'm just not brave enough in icier conditions like some other riders. Also I use the colder, slicker months to do work on the bike. That being said, it's starting to get nice enough to consider getting the bike back on the road. Couple smaller items to complete before I put insurance back on the bike.
I own both. The R7 doesn’t have as much power as the R6 but it definitely shines in the corners. A friend of mine had one and he was dusting 600’s and liter bikes in the corners.
I'm interested to see how much more torque your R6 does in comparison to stock and maybe also compared to the R7. Just for references. Like from the feel the cbr650r also doesn't really feel alot punchier down low to my cb500f, but I love the smoothness 🌚
CBR650R owner here, what made me buy this bike was 2 things, sound and smoothness. Also this bike is the only bellow 1000c that can have two personalities without riding modes BS. Down in the rpms it has the "chill, quiet, smooth personality" for daily drive, rainy days and chill road trips, aswell as the "beast mode, rocket boosted engine" feel when you want to absolutely send it on the highway, at high rpms. The only bike that can do it all. And the way it screams while in this "beast mode" is just incredible. Also feels like the rpms on this bike never end. It just goes and goes. I find it so interesting that this bike can be so quiet and "chill" while having this ultra serious look that makes you know that "if you want, you can just go". It's like a well trained German Shepherd that is chill and quiet but can destroy on command. Love 4 cylinders. I hope Honda never stops making them.
I think due to emission restrictions etc, doing an exhaust on a R7 or MT/FZ07 and maybe even a different air filter but definitely a flash/re-tune it, makes it feel so much better. MT's are being knows for having torque but never rode one yet so can't judge, no also not sure if it's the exact same specs the R7 has. But I still doubt if it will be as quick and feel as good as your R6 seems to do. Definitely cool bikes though, and also fun you were having a meet up to ride each others bikes and found another rider to go out for a ride with.
You got the right idea, I ride a 2018 mt-07, I put on a full system exhaust, dna filter, and used the FTEcu kit to tune it myself (visited a local dyno to confirm air/fuel ratio was in optimal range), there is no more taper in power at high revs, throttle response is smoother, and overall more enjoyable to ride, felt like a whole new bike. Mind you this is dependent on rider experience and familiarity with bike, but With the experience I have riding it for 4 years now, I can keep up with much faster bikes off the line and keep up with them through technical rides (as long as it’s below the top speed of mine).
Oh nice! Good stuff man! Makes total sense. Also courageous to do it yourself. 😂 I can imagine learning it seems hella fun. But solid you went in and made sure the air/fuel ratio was point. I think with the 4 years you have riding on it, definitely makes a difference. With knowing your bike you van be quicker then other bikes who should have an advantage over yours spec wise. Specs don't say everything if you can't control it. A rider can make a lot of difference in this. The same with cars and circuit racing etc.
I love the R6, my son recently got an R6 with 2k miles on it for a lil over 14k.. ther is no comparison between the R6 and an R7.. R7 is what it is for a beginner… great bike in my opinion.. not like many riders ride stock anymore..
I’m not surprised you said no to the R7. I’m not saying you can’t have fun on smaller and less horsepower bikes but judging from your experience and preferences so far, you would be bored as hell on and R7.
I knew you was going to talk crap about the bike as someone whom have had both r6 2012 and r7 2023 and a range of R1’s I can hand on hart say don’t listen to this bias review. Watch a range of reviews and you’ll get a genuine understanding about the r7. My guy said the CF moto was better. That was expected tbh from him Edit: not to knock him, he is a great reviewer but he only loves his bikes…..
It wasn’t a review though. I also didn’t say the cfmoto was better. I said it can hold it’s own. If you’re telling me that a completely stock yamaha r7 is anything special, then you definitely have a biased opinion. It’s underwhelming to say the least. I haven’t ridden an r7 with an ecu flash and exhaust. I’ve also owner an fz07 with an ecu flash and exhaust. It was…ok, had the torque but the geometry of a harley sportster. My guy - im not gonna lie to anyone and say the COMPLETELY STOCK R7 was anything special. From an unbiased opinion, it’s nothing special.
People come to your channel literally for reviews and your opinion, I have a stock r7 and furthermore all of my bikes stay stock as I am constantly changing models / upgrading. As a congested city rider I believe the r7 has as much to offer than the r6 and I say that with my hand on hart. The bike isn’t for you and I get that but I’m 100% sure the R7 suits a range of riders out there, put some respect on its name lol…. I love your channel and have plenty of respect for the constant knowledge you bring to the biking community but I just knew you would trash talk the r7.
@@michaelblenmanin that being said. The r7 suits for more of a city rider. Shouldn’t have Yamaha put this bike in a different class? Naming it a R7 is just a marketing scheme. I feel like it ruined the Yzf-R reputation.
R7 is a nice bike...different cup of tea for different folks...its a brave little bike...i absolutely love it...its a monster for someone who came from a r15 version 4 thsts a 155cc Engine and compared to 300's the r7 is a big monster...but yeah U.S.A 1000cc's or no bike...
Just saw one of these at our local dealer yesterday. Some dude just bought it, and it was sitting out front. Beautiful bike! I was a bit surprised that it was a vertical twin. Putting that R on it was a mistake if you ask me.
As an owner of an r6 and a MT07, I would say the majority of what Adobo says is right. People seriously overhype the R7 and others forget that the r6 does have a decent amount of torque below 9k rpm. (However him saying the cp2 engine has NOTHING, I don't quite agree with) it definitely pulls.😂
@@adobomoto *FZ/MT had an akra, no air filter or tune though still made 73hp at the wheel. I've ridden an r7 a handful of times and it seems to be near identical to the MT.
@@syn8etikosit’s the new age 636 a lot of stunters would look to a 636 as the best option to get into stunting but now that the r7 has come out the stunting community is going to it instead. The 636 is like a 2 stroke dirtbike r7 is like a 4 stroke dirtbike much smoother more linear power band easier to wheelie. I put some Mx bars on mine and it feels like a big klx110 to me soo much fun
Yeah the R7 is not a comparable bike to the R6. Completely different power output. I do however think it is a good bike. It is more comparable to the CBR650R, Ninja 650 or the new GSX8R although those bikes are more upright. R7 sure looks good though. Personally for my money I think I would get the RS660 if I were shopping for that style of bike.
the guy with the r7 should make some small holes in the back of the big exhaust blok or just where the pipe comes out just two holes 2centimeters big make a big difference i got mine with that mod yes aftermarket exhaust is better but its a quick and cheap fix for more sound and a bit more top end
The big problem I have with people comparing the R6 and the R7, is that they keep propagating this idea (sometimes not intentionally) that the R7 was meant to replace the R6 and take it's place which a lot of people still think to this day. The R7 was never meant to replace the R6, firstly, it was to take part in the Twin cup (which explains the I-2 engine), secondly, the era of supersports/hypersports bikes is clearly nearing it's end. With the amount of regulations and restrictions all across the globe, making sportbikes that are more akin to naked bikes with farings makes a lot more sense as a manufacturer (it's also cheaper to own). Also, the R7 takes a nice space in the Yamaha line-up, cause if you wanted to have a nice linear climb up the Yamaha bikes, you started with the R3 let's say (or the R125) as a beginner, then, what comes next? the R6. Which is quite a big jump from a small R3. Now you have the R7 for that which is a nice beginner/intermediate bike. Of course they removed the R6 from the production line, but I guess that is where the R9 will come in for in the near future. People gotta stop thinking that just because 7 > 6, that it is supposed to be more powerful. It is not and it was never meant to be. Actual good comparator to the R7 would be the likes of RS660, Ninja 650, SV650, and so on. Also, to address one major complaint about the bike through the video, you are taking a STOCK 2024 R7. Ofc the sound is going to be shitty, we have the regulations to thank for that. With a good after market pipe, the R7 sounds super dope (I recommend Yoshimura personally). Ok enough yapping for one day, there is more to say about this bike, but whatever. I do believe though that it is a deadly underrated bike just for the fact that people don't understand the right purpose it serves. Definitely has flaws, but not as much as some might put it. PS: this message is in no way targeting Adobo personally, I just needed to write something after seeing too many comments on so many of these reviews. Love the videos 👍👍
I’m getting an r6 I also live in Washington state Seattle it’s been a pain in the ass trying to buy one most people here in wa are badings trying to overcharge for the r6 but the first thing I’m doing is getting a gear indicator I can’t ride without one. Granted I have to take it to a shop to get it installed.
Here where I’m at I “no” some guys that build r7’s for moto-america and they tear them all the way down, motor and all! It looks pretty sweet and performs,,,, well you can imagine. And it ain’t no R7! JS
When you get this and that bike becomes alive…so you need to spend extra 4-5k to get almost r6/zx6r or gixxer 600… Just get a gixxer and you good to go!
After the R1, seems like the only remnants of the beautiful crossplane sound will remain with the R7 sadly...even if it may not be anywhere as fun as the R6, us crossplane lovers may have to compensate with the R7 cuz the R1 no longer remains to be an option. Dreamt of owning one all my life, may never be able to now ig
I find it way easier to stall the twin motors then the inline 4. I have never stalled my zx6r but stall my 650 all the time. The inline 4 is dying in bikes though, we need to save them🤣
Let's be honest, I think most riders want everything an R6 or 1000cc has to offer but they just don't want to be uncomfortable and they are not quite ready for a sport touring bike. R6 is a track bike, can you ride it around town, of course but it's better suited for the track. The R7 is an around the town, back road, tollway, let me have enough power from 60-120 to get around traffic driving around machine.
The R7 is as uncomfortable as the R6, it’s just a bit narrower between the legs. The whole argument about the R7 being more street-able is from anyone who hasn’t ridden the two bikes.
I bought the R7 almost one year ago, I guess this video confirmed that it's a great idea to start on it, make the most out of it and later upgrade to an r6 :). By the way, I was also looking at the 2024 cbr 600rr that comes out in Europe soon, what are your thoughts on it? Should I stick on upgrading to an R6 or give the honda a chance?
From what I heard it's a more potent R7. I'd test a cp2 config bike to see if you like the motor to start with if you can't just test the RS660 directly. But imo the RS475 or what it's called sounds alot more interesting.
I have an RS660 as my second bike. Honestly it's very hard to beat how much fun that bike is. It's stupid light, has all the tech including cruise control, sounds really good, fast enough for most people, and one of the best looking bikes out there imo. You can rip on it hard and it'll keep up with you, or you ride it around town and it's perfectly happy and compliant / comfortable.
problem i have down here is that most r6 are around 12k + and a new r7 is 8-9k. Most likely getting a r7 bc i only city ride and rarely go highway. i’d love to have a 6 one day but i just have no need for it
Once you get a full Akropovic system the Yosh airbox and a proper flash it comes alive. It is a fun bike especially once you get it in the twisties. Does it have R6 power NO but 0-100 it is a fun ride.🤘😎🏍
@@mentlegentlemen7409 Yea it will never have that high RPM scream like an F1 racer but the difference in peppiness is night and day. I still want to experience the thrill of riding one of the old 2 stroke race replicas like the Yamaha RZV, Suzuki RGV and the Honda NSR🤘😎🏍
I got a yoshimura exhaust and air box kit, with a full dyno tune on my 22 R7, and I’ll tell you it’s a perfect track bike… like I tell every one if they want to go fast in a strait line just get a liter bike
@@carkid7640 yes, that's what I did. I replied to a comment about buying a litre bike to go fast in a straight line by calling the r7 a superbike. How dumb are you? That's a rhetorical question btw🤦🏻♂️
This is so weird. I got the notification you posted a new vid. On yt i expect to be either the first or a couple scrolls down…couldn’t find it AT ALL. Your videos are normally at the TOP of my recommended. Is this what you’re experiencing ontik tok?
I always felt like it was going to be a no from your.. you've had everything better in each way! Got a much faster and more torque bike on each thing, not a bad thing just proves r7 is a starter bike :)
@adobomoto oh really?! Is that including the flash etc on yours? Maybe there was something bogging his down? The r7 I test rode definitely pulled faster than my mates r6 but after about 70 he destroyed me haha Definitely agree the r6 is superior
@@adobomotothe r7 u rode might be an A2 version (so a version thats electronically restricted to 48hp) because my friends r7 and my r7 definitely pull better than another friends r6 right up to 150 to 160kmh (somewhere around 100mph). Anything faster than 100mph and the r7 definitely lacks power to feel as exciting as in lower speeds For me the r7 has been great so far. But In the future i do want to upgrade to something thats a bit more of a traditional super sports bike Ps: the bikes (the r7’s and r6) im talking about are completely stock.
I love your videos man but you can't compare an R6 to an R7. It can't be a "shitty replacement" for the R6 because it's not meant to be. Supposedly the upcoming R9 is meant to be. Enjoyed your insights though, much love stay safe ❤️

I love the R6, my son recently got an R6 with 2k miles on it for a lil over 14k.. ther is no comparison between the R6 and an R7.. R7 is what it is for a beginner… great bike in my opinion.. not like many riders ride stock anymore..
Just picked up an r6 about a week ago. This video solidified that I’m definitely glad I didn’t go with the r7😂😂
I’m not surprised you said no to the R7. I’m not saying you can’t have fun on smaller and less horsepower bikes but judging from your experience and preferences so far, you would be bored as hell on and R7.
I was between an R6 and an R7, so glad I got the 6 lol
Would love to see you try out a Ninja400 in comparison as well!
The r6 2008, was a torpedo. One of the best bike i ever had. With an M4 slip on, it was screaming all day everyday😂
I just bought the CFMOTO 450ss 2 days ago and I’m loving it already
I have one too. Awesome bike!!
I knew you was going to talk crap about the bike as someone whom have had both r6 2012 and r7 2023 and a range of R1’s I can hand on hart say don’t listen to this bias review. Watch a range of reviews and you’ll get a genuine understanding about the r7. My guy said the CF moto was better. That was expected tbh from him
Edit: not to knock him, he is a great reviewer but he only loves his bikes…..
It wasn’t a review though. I also didn’t say the cfmoto was better. I said it can hold it’s own. If you’re telling me that a completely stock yamaha r7 is anything special, then you definitely have a biased opinion. It’s underwhelming to say the least. I haven’t ridden an r7 with an ecu flash and exhaust. I’ve also owner an fz07 with an ecu flash and exhaust. It was…ok, had the torque but the geometry of a harley sportster. My guy - im not gonna lie to anyone and say the COMPLETELY STOCK R7 was anything special. From an unbiased opinion, it’s nothing special.
People come to your channel literally for reviews and your opinion, I have a stock r7 and furthermore all of my bikes stay stock as I am constantly changing models / upgrading. As a congested city rider I believe the r7 has as much to offer than the r6 and I say that with my hand on hart. The bike isn’t for you and I get that but I’m 100% sure the R7 suits a range of riders out there, put some respect on its name lol….
I love your channel and have plenty of respect for the constant knowledge you bring to the biking community but I just knew you would trash talk the r7.
@@michaelblenmanin that being said. The r7 suits for more of a city rider. Shouldn’t have Yamaha put this bike in a different class? Naming it a R7 is just a marketing scheme. I feel like it ruined the Yzf-R reputation.
R7 is a nice bike...different cup of tea for different folks...its a brave little bike...i absolutely love it...its a monster for someone who came from a r15 version 4 thsts a 155cc Engine and compared to 300's the r7 is a big monster...but yeah U.S.A 1000cc's or no bike...
Gained my follow simply due to the fact you’re in the PNW and understand the dumb weather up here and how bad we wanna ride! Haha
Have you ever been on an FZ1? I’ve been looking at them. Are they worth getting?
Just saw one of these at our local dealer yesterday. Some dude just bought it, and it was sitting out front. Beautiful bike! I was a bit surprised that it was a vertical twin. Putting that R on it was a mistake if you ask me.
You can put an r6 fork in the r7. You can see in ahri hennings yoshimura R7.
Good decision😎
My buddies R7 has a bunch of work done and feels nothing like the stock R7. He actually beats 600’s in races. And I have videos to prove it.
This bike actually just made for looks and road riding.. actually greatful they put 180 tire on a twin
The R3 vibrates like crazy when you pull the throttle as well. The CFMoto 650 MT doesn't but it's heavy AF!!
R7 looks good but other then that nothing lol r6 no doubt beautiful bike with a beautiful engine love it
As an owner of an r6 and a MT07, I would say the majority of what Adobo says is right. People seriously overhype the R7 and others forget that the r6 does have a decent amount of torque below 9k rpm. (However him saying the cp2 engine has NOTHING, I don't quite agree with) it definitely pulls.😂
I had an fz07, it had more torque than this completely stock r7. Is your r7 bone stock?
@@adobomoto *FZ/MT had an akra, no air filter or tune though still made 73hp at the wheel. I've ridden an r7 a handful of times and it seems to be near identical to the MT.
The R7 is basically the 636 that people use for stunt riding. A lot of stunt riders I know love the R7 for it
In what way is the R7 similar to the ZX6R? I mean, the R7 is a two-cylinder bike, whereas the 636 is a four-cylinder bike...
@@syn8etikosit’s the new age 636 a lot of stunters would look to a 636 as the best option to get into stunting but now that the r7 has come out the stunting community is going to it instead. The 636 is like a 2 stroke dirtbike r7 is like a 4 stroke dirtbike much smoother more linear power band easier to wheelie. I put some Mx bars on mine and it feels like a big klx110 to me soo much fun
Bahahahahahahahaha..u made all the small bike riders turn red😅 atleast they dont say they hit 200mph
Yeah the R7 is not a comparable bike to the R6. Completely different power output. I do however think it is a good bike. It is more comparable to the CBR650R, Ninja 650 or the new GSX8R although those bikes are more upright. R7 sure looks good though. Personally for my money I think I would get the RS660 if I were shopping for that style of bike.
We got the cb650r, 4 cylinders has more go factor, than a ninja 650 twin or an mt07 twin. More fun in my book and a much better stock sound
@@TheBlauwitjeLord. Pls bless me with a 650r this summer. All black.
I call my r7 the boogie lawnmower😈
yes sir!
Welcome to the club 😂
would like to see you test a MT-09!
R7 is the same bike just different plastics
I genuinely think the R7 is a better looking bike(in my opinion) but they definitely dropped the ball with the engine setup
lets go!
You can get a fully working great condition r6 for less than a used ninja 400 ask me how I know lol
the guy with the r7 should make some small holes in the back of the big exhaust blok or just where the pipe comes out just two holes 2centimeters big make a big difference i got mine with that mod yes aftermarket exhaust is better but its a quick and cheap fix for more sound and a bit more top end
The R9 will be the true R6 successor, in my opinion. Love my MT09
Thank God - I've never been so happy about clickbait!
I’m late but now the week can begin!
I've been trying to find a group that rides right now! I'm in SeaTac, when do y'all meet?
Can you do a review of the 24 zx6r plz
Bro I’ve been trying to buy a keyring and show support but you don’t ship to England?!?!?!?
The big problem I have with people comparing the R6 and the R7, is that they keep propagating this idea (sometimes not intentionally) that the R7 was meant to replace the R6 and take it's place which a lot of people still think to this day. The R7 was never meant to replace the R6, firstly, it was to take part in the Twin cup (which explains the I-2 engine), secondly, the era of supersports/hypersports bikes is clearly nearing it's end. With the amount of regulations and restrictions all across the globe, making sportbikes that are more akin to naked bikes with farings makes a lot more sense as a manufacturer (it's also cheaper to own). Also, the R7 takes a nice space in the Yamaha line-up, cause if you wanted to have a nice linear climb up the Yamaha bikes, you started with the R3 let's say (or the R125) as a beginner, then, what comes next? the R6. Which is quite a big jump from a small R3. Now you have the R7 for that which is a nice beginner/intermediate bike. Of course they removed the R6 from the production line, but I guess that is where the R9 will come in for in the near future. People gotta stop thinking that just because 7 > 6, that it is supposed to be more powerful. It is not and it was never meant to be. Actual good comparator to the R7 would be the likes of RS660, Ninja 650, SV650, and so on. Also, to address one major complaint about the bike through the video, you are taking a STOCK 2024 R7. Ofc the sound is going to be shitty, we have the regulations to thank for that. With a good after market pipe, the R7 sounds super dope (I recommend Yoshimura personally). Ok enough yapping for one day, there is more to say about this bike, but whatever. I do believe though that it is a deadly underrated bike just for the fact that people don't understand the right purpose it serves. Definitely has flaws, but not as much as some might put it.
PS: this message is in no way targeting Adobo personally, I just needed to write something after seeing too many comments on so many of these reviews. Love the videos 👍👍
I mean the used r6 market is pretty gross right now, I ended up getting a zx6r. Half the decent shape stuff under 20k miles is listed for like 7-8k 😂
You ain’t wrong
You gotta try the banh mi at sizzle and crunch next to UW
I’m getting an r6 I also live in Washington state Seattle it’s been a pain in the ass trying to buy one most people here in wa are badings trying to overcharge for the r6 but the first thing I’m doing is getting a gear indicator I can’t ride without one. Granted I have to take it to a shop to get it installed.
Here where I’m at I “no” some guys that build r7’s for moto-america and they tear them all the way down, motor and all! It looks pretty sweet and performs,,,, well you can imagine. And it ain’t no R7! JS
When you get this and that bike becomes alive…so you need to spend extra 4-5k to get almost r6/zx6r or gixxer 600… Just get a gixxer and you good to go!
After the R1, seems like the only remnants of the beautiful crossplane sound will remain with the R7 sadly...even if it may not be anywhere as fun as the R6, us crossplane lovers may have to compensate with the R7 cuz the R1 no longer remains to be an option. Dreamt of owning one all my life, may never be able to now ig
Is the r7 de restricted? Or do they not come restricted in the us?
I find it way easier to stall the twin motors then the inline 4. I have never stalled my zx6r but stall my 650 all the time. The inline 4 is dying in bikes though, we need to save them🤣
Let's be honest, I think most riders want everything an R6 or 1000cc has to offer but they just don't want to be uncomfortable and they are not quite ready for a sport touring bike. R6 is a track bike, can you ride it around town, of course but it's better suited for the track. The R7 is an around the town, back road, tollway, let me have enough power from 60-120 to get around traffic driving around machine.
The R7 is as uncomfortable as the R6, it’s just a bit narrower between the legs. The whole argument about the R7 being more street-able is from anyone who hasn’t ridden the two bikes.
First comment adobo your the best
I never knew home much owning a motorcycle would force me to learn about meteorology.
Ohh man I'm happy I went with an r6
I bought the R7 almost one year ago, I guess this video confirmed that it's a great idea to start on it, make the most out of it and later upgrade to an r6 :). By the way, I was also looking at the 2024 cbr 600rr that comes out in Europe soon, what are your thoughts on it? Should I stick on upgrading to an R6 or give the honda a chance?
So 450ss over R7 as first bike???
What are your thoughts on the RS660? I'm thinking of getting it as my second bike
Adobo should test ride one too.
From what I heard it's a more potent R7.
I'd test a cp2 config bike to see if you like the motor to start with if you can't just test the RS660 directly.
But imo the RS475 or what it's called sounds alot more interesting.
I have an RS660 as my second bike. Honestly it's very hard to beat how much fun that bike is. It's stupid light, has all the tech including cruise control, sounds really good, fast enough for most people, and one of the best looking bikes out there imo. You can rip on it hard and it'll keep up with you, or you ride it around town and it's perfectly happy and compliant / comfortable.
@kforeal6809 ight bro you seduced me into getting one. I can't wait for spring
@@butternuts842 you'll love it man!
I hear turboing the R7 is a day and night difference. Really turns heads once you turbo.
I didn’t knew you were on Washington. What tracks do you go to.
I have some bikes that you may want to try.
@adobomoto we need your takes on the CBR 650R
Who convicted you to finally start using brude? Lol
problem i have down here is that most r6 are around 12k + and a new r7 is 8-9k. Most likely getting a r7 bc i only city ride and rarely go highway. i’d love to have a 6 one day but i just have no need for it
Once you get a full Akropovic system the Yosh airbox and a proper flash it comes alive. It is a fun bike especially once you get it in the twisties. Does it have R6 power NO but 0-100 it is a fun ride.🤘😎🏍
I'd hate to hear it, but I'd want to experience it 😂
@@mentlegentlemen7409 Yea it will never have that high RPM scream like an F1 racer but the difference in peppiness is night and day. I still want to experience the thrill of riding one of the old 2 stroke race replicas like the Yamaha RZV, Suzuki RGV and the Honda NSR🤘😎🏍
What sprockets do you run again on your r6? What makes a bigger difference the sprocket or the flash?
Flash and full exhaust. Im running a 44t in the rear, -1 from stock
@@adobomoto but it does change your speedometer right?
I got a yoshimura exhaust and air box kit, with a full dyno tune on my 22 R7, and I’ll tell you it’s a perfect track bike… like I tell every one if they want to go fast in a strait line just get a liter bike
If you want to go fast in a straight line, buy a hypernaked or h2. Nothing wrong with a superbike in the twisties.
@@loftyintentions1985did u just call a r7 a superbike? 😂
@@carkid7640😂 it’s nowhere near a super bike I agree
@@carkid7640 yes, that's what I did. I replied to a comment about buying a litre bike to go fast in a straight line by calling the r7 a superbike. How dumb are you? That's a rhetorical question btw🤦🏻♂️
This is so weird. I got the notification you posted a new vid. On yt i expect to be either the first or a couple scrolls down…couldn’t find it AT ALL. Your videos are normally at the TOP of my recommended. Is this what you’re experiencing ontik tok?
Yeah pretty much. Thanks for letting me know.
It’s just a pretty looking beginners bike. People started buying the crap out of those 350/400 this is just great marketing to Rockies
For me i get attached to my things easily so i dont think i can do trades like you 😂
Wish I was close so you can try my 2023 cfmoto clx 700 heritage
You laughing at it 😂😂😂😂
I always felt like it was going to be a no from your.. you've had everything better in each way!
Got a much faster and more torque bike on each thing, not a bad thing just proves r7 is a starter bike :)
I was surprised because on paper the r7 is 49lbft of torque and on paper the r6 is 42lbft
@adobomoto oh really?! Is that including the flash etc on yours? Maybe there was something bogging his down? The r7 I test rode definitely pulled faster than my mates r6 but after about 70 he destroyed me haha
Definitely agree the r6 is superior
@@adobomotothe r7 u rode might be an A2 version (so a version thats electronically restricted to 48hp) because my friends r7 and my r7 definitely pull better than another friends r6 right up to 150 to 160kmh (somewhere around 100mph).
Anything faster than 100mph and the r7 definitely lacks power to feel as exciting as in lower speeds
For me the r7 has been great so far. But In the future i do want to upgrade to something thats a bit more of a traditional super sports bike
Ps: the bikes (the r7’s and r6) im talking about are completely stock.
I love your videos man but you can't compare an R6 to an R7. It can't be a "shitty replacement" for the R6 because it's not meant to be. Supposedly the upcoming R9 is meant to be. Enjoyed your insights though, much love stay safe ❤️
