2023 Yamaha YZF-R7WHERE R WORLD MEETS YOURS Show A new generation supersport with Yamaha's legendary styling combines an advanced CP2 engine with an ultra-thin and lightweight chassis to provide torquey performance on both the track and the street. Features may include: TOP FEATURES
Yamaha's proven 689cc liquid-cooled, inline 2-cylinder DOHC fuel-injected CP2 engine delivers excellent power and performance throughout the rpm range for an exhilarating ride and a true supersport experience. Its 270-degree crankshaft delivers linear torque for exciting acceleration and limited vibration.
A first for Yamaha's CP2 platform, the all-new Assist and Slipper clutch reduces clutch lever force while providing seamless downshifts and a controlled feeling over the bike's engine braking. This helps make the supersport riding experience more accessible to more riders. For fast and smooth upshifts, an optional Quick Shift System (QSS) is also available on the YZF-R7. ENGINE

A new full-LCD instrument panel informs the rider of gear position, fuel capacity, real time and average fuel economy, water temp, clock, and more—all presented in a high-contrast display. In case you don't like the new colors, you still have the option to pick the 2022 color options
Yamaha has taken the wraps off the 2023 R7 and R3. Both motorcycles gain a new color each which should help lure more customers. Sadly, like each year, the
model-year update also comes with a small price hike.
For 2023, the R7 gains a new Intensity White color option. As the name suggests, the new color wraps the motorcycle in bright white bodywork from head to toe. While the livery is
rather subtle, Yamaha has thrown in grey ‘R7’ graphics on the fairings and red alloy wheels to make it more flavorful. Apart from the new livery, there are no notable changes for 2023. The R7 continues to employ an MT-07-derived 689cc, parallel-twin engine pumping out 72.4 horsepower. Meanwhile, it also carries forward the same suspension setup (adjustable USD forks and monoshock) along with the same brakes (twin 298mm front discs and single 245mm rear disc). 2023 Yamaha R3 - Details
Unlike the R7, the 2023 R3 comes in a unique livery called Phantom Purple. Comprising a deep purple tone all around, the new color is properly stylish and has red accents everywhere, which makes it the sportiest R3 livery in the recent past—of course, barring the gorgeous 60th-anniversary colorway. Besides this, the R3 remains unchanged elsewhere and continues to come in its 2022 colors too. While we don’t have any complaints with the retention of the 321cc engine or the suspension, Yamaha could’ve at least thrown in LED indicators to the mix that even the smaller R25 and R15 get in international markets. This point becomes even more applicable considering the price hike for the MY23. 2023 Yamaha R7 & R3 - Price
Speaking of price hikes, the 2023 Yamaha R7 and R3 cost $9,199 and $5,499 - $200 more than their 2022 models - regardless of the color you pick. Considering there aren’t any notable changes, we feel this is a bit steep, especially for the R3, which belongs to a more price-sensitive segment. Nevertheless, there’s no denying that the two colors are a welcome addition and will surely turn heads. Is Yamaha coming out with a R7?Yamaha's 2022 YZF-R7 Motorcycle Is a $9,000 Breath of Fresh Air. Sure, it's not perfect — but the lightweight sport bike is equal parts affordable, approachable and fun as hell.
How rare is the Yamaha R7?The reason the first R7 is not well known, however, is because it is exceedingly rare. Only 500 were ever made, to meet homologation requirements, and of those, only 50 made it to North America.
Whats faster R6 or R7?The new Yamaha R7 completely dominates the short-stroke and highly strung R6 all the way up to 9500 rpm. At its peak, the R7 is making more-than 20 horsepower than the R6 at 7000 rpm. Between 3000 and 4000 rpm the YZF-R7 is making twice the torque of the R6. It's extremely impressive.
Will the R7 be A2?A2 Licence Compliance
The Yamaha R7 is a 689cc A2-friendly sport bike. It has a power output of 54 kW (72 bhp), which exceeds the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. The bike has to be restricted by at least 35.1% to become A2 licence compliant.
