• Torquey CP2 Powerplant

Yamaha's proven 689cc twin-cylinder DOHC fuel-injected engine delivers excellent power and performance throughout the rpm range for an exhilarating ride and a true Supersport experience. Its 270-degree crossplane crankshaft provides linear torque for exciting acceleration and limited vibration.

• Tuned Induction

Contributing to the visceral connection between rider and machine, the new YZF-R7 adopts the same intake duct shape and asymmetrical funnel lengths as the current MT-07, harnessing the bike's induction roar for an enhanced feeling of acceleration from its renowned crossplane CP2 engine.

• New Five-Inch TFT & Enhanced Connectivity

A stunning new full-color five-inch TFT instrument display features four selectable themes along with a track-specific mode. Smartphone connectivity enabled through Yamaha's free Y-Connect app allows riders to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth headset, not provided). Additionally, full turn-by-turn navigation is now available through the free Garmin StreetCross app.

• New Third-Generation Quickshifter

The 2026 YZF-R7 is equipped with Yamaha's advanced third-generation Quick Shift System (QSS), enabling quick, clutchless upshifts and downshifts under both acceleration and deceleration. This system makes full-on acceleration on the track more exciting and downshifting faster and smoother with less chassis disruption when changing gears. The system operates at speeds above 10 mph, with upshifts above 2,000 RPM and downshifts above 1,600 RPM.

The 2024 Yamaha YZF R7 stands out with its compact 689 cc Liquid-cooled, DOHC Inline Twin CP2 powerplant, delivering 73.4 HP and 60.3 Nm to sharpen every ride. This motorcycle pairs high-rev responsiveness with a precise six-speed manual transmission and a multiplate wet clutch with Assist, ensuring smooth, controlled gear changes from street to twisty back roads. Its lightweight, race-inspired chassis and Brembo brakes help you lean into corners with confidence.

The Yamaha YZF-R7 balances performance with refined handling and ride quality. Front and rear suspension are tuned for sport riding, with a 41 mm Telescopic fork offering preload, rebound, and compression adjustability and a linked-type Monocross shock with adjustable preload and rebound, plus 129.5 mm of travel on both ends. The wheelbase measures 54.9 inches, helping stability at speed, while the seat height sits at 32.9 inches for a composed, reachable riding position. Fuel economy is rated at 58 mpg, and the fuel tank holds 3.4 gallons for longer stints between fills. Wet weight is 417 pounds, giving the bike a spirited feel without sacrificing composure.

Designed for confident every-day performance, this model rides on Bridgestone BATTLAX S22 tires in 120/70 ZR17 front and 180/55 ZR17 rear, with ABS brakes delivering reliable stopping power through dual hydraulic discs up front and a hydraulic disc at the rear. The instrument cluster provides digital readouts, including a clock and trip computer, so you stay informed on track and commute alike. View the Yamaha YZF-R7 at Vallely Sport & Marine.
