The all-new learner approved 2022 YZF-R7LA is the latest model in Yamaha's supersport segment. Built from the ground up with a sleek ultra-thin lightweight chassis powered by Yamaha's proven CP2 engine, and enhanced with track-focused supersport features, the R7 embodies Yamaha's rich history of aggressive performance and racing dominance.
The YZF-R7 delivers proven power, a narrow chassis, and new styling that reflects the exhilarating next-generation of R World. It is packed with a range of features that include an engaging 655cc CP2 engine tuned to maximise Australia's LAMs limit, a slim and lightweight frame with excellent aerodynamics, an inverted front fork with supreme front-end feel, and a racing-inspired cockpit with a supersport rider position.
Available from December 2021.
This bike comes with features such as: The YZF-R7's ultra-narrow, high-strength steel frame provides excellent rigidity for a sporty and responsive ride by mounting aluminium centre braces near the swingarm pivot which improve torsional rigidity. Rake, trail, and wheelbase dimensions have also been optimised for superb handling while cornering on a racetrack or a twisty road. The narrow, lightweight frame design has resulted in the slimmest bodywork found in Yamaha's supersport lineup and reduces air resistance while incorporating the rider's body into its design.
YZF-R7 uses Yamaha's proven liquid-cooled, four-stroke, in-line two-cylinder, DOHC CP2 engine, giving the rider a feeling of a direct connection from the throttle to the rear wheel. Forged aluminium pistons with direct-plated cylinders integrated with the crankcase makes for lighter weight and excellent strength at higher temperatures, ensuring reliability at higher rpm. The crossplane engine's 270-degree crank provides an uneven firing sequence with a more characterful exhaust note that emphasises torquey acceleration and linear power delivery for outstanding response at all engine speeds. Additionally, the R7 has an optimised secondary gear ratio that creates an exhilarating ride and a sporty feel.
