2022 Yamaha YZF-R7 Review | Best Road Sportsbike?

Full review on the 2022 Yamaha YZF-R7, which I think lays claim to being the best road sportsbike in 2022, offering a value driven package that's centered around a great engine and has a lot of potential.

Not strictly a traditional 'supersport 600cc' machine that we'd see raced in that category, the R7 still offers the full sportsbike ergonomic, ideal for the track, but with power kept at a modest 73.4 hp.

Full adjustable forks, with a rebound and preload adjustable shock, are joined by ADVICS four-pot calipers on the front, on dual 298 mm rotors.

Lighting is full LED, with ABS standard, but no other electronics.

You could call the Yamaha R7 basic, but really, that's probably part of the appeal if you like this bike, and it'll be much happier around town than most supersport machines.

Styling is subjective but I really dig the look, and overall, for the price Yamaha's R7 looks like a great option, keeping in mind the more traditional supersport segment we're used to has been losing popularity for the best part of a decade and likely needs replacing with something a bit more in tune with what riders actually want.
