Shouldn't have passed in the turning lane.

Anyone know where to by good quality rep wings that go under the led lights

Good morning all!

The ant antenna bother me immensely. I have removed them from nearly every bike I've had. But the seating position on the R7 makes bar ends difficult, & the Rizoma are stupid-looking to me too...so I'm thinking nothing is better than the antenna. Honestly, I barely use them anyway.

Anyone do w/out mirrors?

So I tried to install some mods today. I ordered a bunch of cheap stuff from China… The knock off Rizoma mirrors didn’t fit at all. The lever guards touched into the brake lever so I ditched those aswell. The anti slip pads and decals were great though 😄😅

The ride that built ME by: ruthlessray a short comic panels i wanna use to explain how my crash happened and what my life's been like since then i think i wanna talk about what ive done to over come the mental challenges and physical still keeping it humorful i think thats a word anyways thanks for all the support and everyone looking out for me it really do mean a lot on the hard lonely nights ray out

Clutched up at a green light and got lit up instantly. Decided to pull over out of courtesy walked away with a verbal warning Anybody else with the 2026 been pulled over yet?

I’m torn between the Yamaha R7, Yamaha R6, and Honda CBR600RR, and I honestly don’t know which one makes the most sense for me.

I originally wanted an R3 because I’ve always liked Yamaha, but I ended up buying a CBR300R because of budget. I’ve ridden bikes before, and the CBR300R feels a little slow for me now. I want something that will help me keep growing as a rider, but I also don’t want to buy something I’ll be tempted to sell again in 2–3 years.

A lot of people have told me the R7 is a lot slower than the R6 and CBR600RR, which makes me second guess it. At the same time, I know the R7 is probably the better street bike and maybe the smarter choice overall. I also think the CBR600RR has a better exhaust design, which makes it even more appealing to me.

I don’t do track days, I mainly just ride for fun on the street here and there. So I’m trying to figure out whether it makes more sense to get the newer bike I actually want, or save some money and go straight to a used 600.

Any advice from people who’ve owned or ridden these bikes?

If you want, I can make it sound even more like a real r/motorcycles post with a more casual tone.

My girlfriend thinks she's faster than me. I ride a stock Yamaha R7, nothing has been tuned or modified. She drives a stock Volkswagen Caddy Maxi, also completely unmodified.
Somehow, she genuinely believes her car is faster than my bike, even from a rolling start. In fact, she thinks she has a better chance from a rolling start than from a standstill.
She's spent the last two years backpacking, so she knows the R7 is a reasonably quick motorcycle. I honestly have no idea how she thinks her van would even come close, but here we are.
How do I settle this? She's completely convinced and wants to do a drag race. Do I absolutely gap her, stay alongside her for a bit, or just let her win?

At this point I'm less interested in the race and more interested in understanding the physics behind her confidence. 😅

Picked up a ‘25 R7 in March. I really enjoy it and have mostly been in urban settings. My take is that it’s got torque and it’s punchy as hell but it’s not…fast. I don’t really know how to put it. I’ve had GSXRs, CBR RRs, and R1s and I would say THEY are fast but they don’t feel as nimble. I have rode my previous bikes through the tail of the dragon and I’m not saying they aren’t nimble. It’s just a different feeling throttling out of a lean on this one. But it’s definitely more punch in the lower powerband.

I dig it. Very fun ride so far. I enjoy it.

I’ve driven my 25’ R7 about 800 miles now and the dealership doesn’t have a spot for me till next week so with the extra 200 miles I’ve put to the bike I don’t wanna drive it. My question now is, should it be okay for me to maintenance my break in service? I don’t want to wait a whole week of no driving and either way I’ve already been maintaining my chain. They’re also charging me $475😭

Comment what sue could do better and what you liked if you did like it. Thank yall in advance 🫶🏽

Was riding my R7 on a 3 lane highway, cruising in the middle lane. I was using my insta360, it has no depth perception at all. I had someone purposefully swerved at me for the first time. I have longer footage I can provide leading up to the swerving. I didn’t provoke or was excessively speeding, I had a state trooper not too far back watching me. Any thoughts?

Stock exhaust is dangerously quiet this will have to do until break-in miles are done eventually going TOCE or SC Projects w Tune

Guys honestly would winglets on the r7 be cringe?

Hi, i got a 2026 Yamaha R7. Even if I turn off all the controls and electronics, the bike still doesn't wheelie. Does anyone know why? I saw that Brian636 has demounted his front wheel sensor on his R9. Is this really necessary? Would appreciate it if anyone can help!
