Yamaha
YZF-R7
The YZF-R7 wraps Yamaha's proven 689cc CP2 parallel-twin in a full R-series fairing with approachable ergonomics — at 417 lb and 26,000-mile valve intervals, it is among the lightest and lowest-maintenance options in the faired middleweight class. The non-adjustable rear suspension is the main track-day compromise; riders planning regular track sessions should budget for an aftermarket shock.
