Yamaha R7在这里，雅马哈已经努力，确保它提供运动摩托车，而不仅仅是一个带有整体螺栓固定的重新装备的机器。
The new R7 is nothing like the old R7; the old 750-class four-cylinder superbikes were known to be deadly race weapons, while the new release is instead a parallel twin aimed at more sensible riding. It’s based on Yamaha’s 689 cc CP2 parallel twin (DOHC, four-valve head, crossplane crank, approximately 74 horsepower at 9,000 rpm, with 50 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm).
雅马哈为R7制作了一些特定于型号的更改，就像它在它带到市场时一样（记住，Terent 700，XSR700，MT-07，Tracer 700以及现在R7都是基于的相同的基本设计）。

更新R7
For 2022 (this is officially a 2022 model), the R7 engine has a revised second gear “that creates an exhilarating ride and a sporty feel.” Does that mean more horsepower or more torque? Yamaha’s presentation didn’t tell us, and neither does its press release. Either way, the point is that Yamaha changed things up, to build this bike.
Yamaha还放入辅助/拖鞋离合器，并将可选的Quickshifter添加到附件列表中。这一切都不是突破性或革命性的，但它确实给了R7更多的体育凭证。CP2发动机证明非常受到预算意识的街头车手，而Yamaha声称“Torquey加速和线性电源输送，用于所有发动机速度的突出响应S“听起来像骑手正在寻找这些天的经济实际的真实表现。四缸600s已经死了，因为许多骑手醒来并意识到他们对街道的不合理性，并通过覆盖着年轻的骑手的覆盖范围来将最终指甲放在棺材里，从而杀死了超级体育最重要的市场。
Yamaha打算替代R6的R7（已取消2021），但它并不完全换句话。加拿大新闻演示随着该机器是一个可获得的竞赛复制品的代表开通，但“它不是为了替换任何东西，而且它并没有对别的东西进行比赛。”也许，也许不是;很难想象美国赛车手不会迫切地将其进入下赛季的Motoamerica的孪生课。

Either way, expect to see the R7 on tracks across the continent soon, as Yamaha’s put together a list of factory accessories that would make track days easier. Frame sliders, fender eliminator, spring windscreen, front/rear axle protectors, a rear seat cowling, and so on—you’ll look good when you’re rolling up to the paddock, at least.
And it’s not like the bike’s styling itself is ugly. In the past, naked bikes converted to fully-faired sportbikes have often had a reputation for mild, or even severe, ugliness. Yamaha’s kept true to latest-gen R-series styling here, and if you dig that look, you’ll probably like the R7.
仔细观察，您可能会注意到R7是一个非常窄的机器。Yamaha实际上说，R7有史以来，任何R系列Sportbike都有最窄的轮廓，因此粘在平行双引擎和MT-07的整洁底盘设计有一些优势。

The frame and running gear are upgraded from the MT-07, though. The most obvious difference is the 41 mm USD forks. These Kayabas are fully-adjustable,雅马哈使用了锻造铝下游三重夹具gravity-加利福尼亚州st aluminUPP.呃三PLE钳位。震动具有可调节的弹簧预加载和反弹阻尼。雅马哈使用了水平安装的布置，直接连接到发动机外壳的后部“for efficient use of space and weight, contributing to mass centralization and further enhancing the bike’s compact size。“所有现代化和运动型。
至于框架本身，它是钢铁，就像MT-07一样，但是在摆动枢轴附近的铝心晶段，改善了R7的扭转刚度。雅马哈说“耙，踪迹and wheelbase dimensions have also been optimized for superb handling wh转弯在A.赛道或路面的曲折部分。“

制动器也特定于R7，还有径向Brembo主缸泵（雅马哈第一个），以及前面的四锅Brembo卡钳（尼斯背面）配合到298 mm。ABS是标准的，但似乎（现在）倾斜的ABS不是。这并不奇怪，因为雅马哈希望在这里保持价格。
Yamaha甚至在R7特定轮胎（普利司通Battlax S2）和LED照明上出去了，虽然仪表仍然是预算友好的LCD单元（再次，保持降价）。

我们不知道的是：
Canadians will get the R7 for $10,799 with a 12-month warranty, with machines arriving in June. We don’t know American pricing yet, or availability, but expect those details soon.
我们还在其他一些细节中轻：燃料能力和重量是最大的问题，但再次，我们希望看到那些不久发布的数字。街上的单词是，一些美国骑手本周将测试自行车，但加拿大目前的Covid锁定是指Canuck Journos被困在家中，在他们的后院摇曳的黑色苍蝇而不是测试机器。
UPDATE: Yamaha has the R7 on its US website now, with $8,299 MSRP plus taxes and fees, and a wet weight of 414 pounds. Fuel capacity is four gallons.
