2026 R7

Sporty high-torque 689cc CP2 engine

Delivering 73.4 PS at 8,750 rpm, the R7's 689cc engine produces punchy acceleration and smooth, linear torque. Its 270° crank delivers a responsive feel with a signature CP2 growl, while Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) ensures precise power delivery for confident control with every twist of the wrist, on road or track.

R1-developed 6-axis IMU

For the first time, the R7 features Yamaha's R1-derived 6-axis IMU. Race-grade technology that brings true Supersport intelligence to the middleweight class. Constantly measuring movements and lean angles, it powers the R7's advanced electronic rider aids, delivering precision, confidence and control in every corner.

Yamaha Ride Control with Customisable Settings

Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) lets riders tailor the R7’s character to suit their mood or the moment. Three factory modes - Sport, Street and Rain - are complemented by two fully customisable setups via the MyRide app, allowing riders to fine-tune power delivery and electronic support.

Lean Sensitive rider aids including Traction Contr

Working seamlessly with the R7's R1-derived 6-axis IMU, the lean-sensitive Traction Control, Slide Control and Brake Control systems continuously monitor movement and grip. Each system intervenes subtly and predictably, enhancing stability and allowing riders to push their limit with total confidence on road or track.

More rigid and agile chassis

Almost every element of the new R7's frame has been refined, from pipe layout and wall thickness to reinforcement points to improve rigidity while maintaining the same weight. Its 41mm fully adjustable inverted forks now feature lightweight aluminium piston rods to reduce weight for a sharper response and precise, agile handling.

Refined, more comfortable riding position

Revised ergonomics make the new R7 easier to live with every day. Re-positioned handlebars and a reshaped fuel tank give you more room to move, while a lower 830mm seat height and R1-style footpegs help you feel planted yet relaxed — whether you're commuting, carving corners or cruising home after a long ride.

Power Modes, Launch Control and Lift Control

Three selectable Power Modes let you tailor throttle response from smooth to sporty, while Lift Control manages front wheel lift under hard acceleration to maintain absolute control when pushing the limits. Race-style Launch Control ensures fast, consistent starts - letting the R7 show its sleek, race-inspired rear to those left behind.

Third-Generation Quick Shift System (QSS)

Yamaha’s latest Quick Shift System delivers faster, smoother gear changes for the slickest and most sporty shift experience ever on an R7. Two selectable settings let you choose between clutchless up and downshifts in either acceleration or deceleration, with re-engineered gearbox components ensuring seamless performance on road or track.

5" TFT display with full connectivity

A new 5-inch full-colour TFT display brings a premium, modern feel to the R7. Four selectable themes keep key info clear at a glance, including a dedicated Track Mode which prioritises key performance information with a lap timer for when you're 'under the bubble'. Smartphone connectivity via Yamaha's MyRide app adds navigation, notifications and data-sharing — keeping you informed, connected and in control.

Y-TRAC Rev – Feel Like a Racer

The R7's Y-TRAC Rev app transforms every ride into a data-driven MotoGP-like experience. Log lap and sector times, lean angles, speed and more — then analyse or compare your performance like a pro.With optional virtual pitboard messaging and GPS tracking, Y-TRAC Rev delivers factory-level pit garage data analysis so you can ride, review and race harder every session.

Refined Aerodynamics

The new R7's sleeker, slimmer fairing and re-sculpted chin spoiler improve airflow efficiency and cooling while enhancing its sharp, race-bred silhouette. Integrated indicators in the mirrors, just like on the R9, plus a new headlight lens, reduce drag and give the R7 a clean, purposeful look that oozes premium R-Series.

SpinForged Wheels and Bridgestone Battlax Hyperspo

For the first time, the R7 adopts Yamaha's ultra-light SpinForged wheels to reduce overall weight and deliver quicker and more agile handling. Paired with Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres, which deliver outstanding grip and feedback for confident, precise cornering, the new R7 feels easier to flick around and dive into every corner.

70th Anniversary Yamaha Racing Colours

Marking 70 years of Yamaha performance, the new R7 wears its heritage proudly in a stunning white-and-red anniversary livery. Inspired by icons of the ‘90s, it’s a head-turning mix of nostalgia, attitude and absolute iconic Yamaha design – proof that legends never really go out of style.
