Yamaha R7 was introduced in 1999 as a World Superbike and Suzuka 8 Hours homologation special. There were just 500 of these special edition race machines produced.
All new YZF R7 is powered by a 689cc inline 2-cylinder DOHC 4-valve liquid-cooled CP2 engine delivering 73.4PS @ 8,750 rpm and 67 Nm of torque @ 6,500 rpm. CP2 engine is updated with new ECU, optimised air intake ducts, new exhaust design and fuel injection settings providing strong and linear torque across a wide rpm range, making it a lively performer in all gears and at all engine speeds.
