Default Yamaha R7

First ride on the new MT-07 variant, the R7.

Brilliant engine. It does have the feel similar to a V-Twin the way it's tuned. I'd rather have it in it's other variants of bike though.

It shouldn't have been called an R7, more like an MT07R or something similar.

Its about as much a R7 as a BMW Mini is a Mini. A no from me.

I'll always regret not buying that R7 in Fowlers all those years ago. Dream. Garage. Bike. This isnt.

When heard about this bike I immediately thought it's a modern day SV650S. A modest engine in sporty clothes. I think Suzuki missed a trick here.
