Bike Build Breakdown: Yoshimura R&D’s YZF-R7 Race Bike

Yoshimura. Known for their exhausts, not for their paint-jobs...

This might be my must wanted track riding happy time! Bikes love twins, -duck rider

Song?

Where is this bike now?

6 weeks to paint it and 1/2 hour to crash it ..

Your production quality could be improved by moving up to 30fps filming and breaking the 180-degree shutter rule by pairing it with a 1/50th shutter speed. A side benefit is you'll be able to film with that in any country without the street/shop/track lights flickering. Please stop filming at 24fps, you are perpetuating ugliness, eye strain, and headaches.

this is finest craftmanship !!!

😍

Stock R7 doesn't make sense to me. Too slow for track, too uncomfortable for the street. If I am going to deal with an uncomfortable bike, I should at least be treated with a much more powerful bike. I am not. I'll pass.

What do you think he can win in a race on Zx4rr?

I heard that the Flat Track MT-07's are putting out 110 HP..

That's sick, I just bought an R7 today, such a fun bike.

Feel privileged to watch this. Your lucky man to get to ride her.

You are a lucky gangster .Pops Yoshimura was my buddy garu and mentor ..invented developed honda's 1st 2 stroke Rc125 that became japan's championship in 1971..he built the company you are racing for ...he soon learn to write his own ticket for all japanese motorcycles..basically the greatest tuner that ever walk on the face of planet earth ..i was first introduced by the ceo of honda service reps. Of honda R&D Milwaukee in 1974 as he was totally in charge of the launch of the new two stroke named after the city of elsinore cal featured in the movie on any sunday staring steve McQueen mert lawwell , and Malcom smith but it was yoshimura could tell you want you had for breakfast by reading the color of your spark plug

Is it making 100hp to the wheel or crank?

siiiick

what is the point.... just get an older r6 instead of this bullshit r7

Now we just need to know where Zack thinks it should go on the Daily Rider Leader Board.....

Where can I get a bike exactly like this?!💀

It's not the true R7. It's an MT07. Sorry bro this isnt the true majestic R7. :(

Are you willing to share what sprocket setup you ran for MA 520 chain? Teeth count front and back?

So that's great about $25,000 Plus in an R-7 and it still can't outrun R6 or out handle it. LoL

so its Yoshi bike :D

great job looks killer as well

looks sick

Awesome!!

when can we get that exhaust??

Cmon don’t insult your viewers! 68 up to 100hp is not at all ‘almost a 50% increase in hp’ it’s clearly 32……….

Not envious at all!🙈🚀

I can’t believe it’s probably cheaper to run an Aprilia. The Motoamerica rs660 is almost stock compared to this

2 in 1 bike. Beautiful

Every dude gonna go out and buy a stock R7 and think they are the new street rossi

Instantly won a spot as one my favorite liveries, up there with Miguel Duhamel/s CBR, the Kanji exceeds your average 'busa and the sheer aposematism

This is my absolute dream right now, the absolute best of all but with the amount power an average intermediate rider like me can really use 100%.
I think this would be the perfect bike for me to train on so I can try touching 600s in a few years. :)

What was your qualifying time and final position at the finish ?

Amazing.
Can we have a video of you racing and how the bike sounds in race?

Good job Yamaha & Yoshimura 👍

It’s still a Fake R7

That paint job absolutely slaps ! 🤙

Enter to win? 🤣🤣🤣

Phenomenal bike…glad you still have the hat👍🏼

Very good! Thank you Yoshimura. Hopefully you produce something similar for the bigger sibling MT-09 SP

Thank God I did not buy a fucking r7

what is the maximum speed this bike can get?

Great run down of the bike, Ari. Makes me want to step up from LW racing and go broke faster!

So buy an R7. Add 20k to it and your almost as fast on the track as an R6? I understand in stock form it's more rideable on the street but on the track I don't see why they are going away from 600's

I wish there was some way to know what percentage of riders (new riders and riders with decades of experience) thinks the new R7 stacks up to the OW02. Could we get a comparison of the R7 that Haga rode (OW02) and the new R7?

Cool build, could have iced the cake with a little cold start ; )

Amazing. So, for the mechanical handicapped like me but that just started doing track days, where in SoCal can I take my bike to have it track ready?
