GET A FINANCE QUOTEThe 2026 Yamaha YZF-R7 - " Supersport Performance RefinedThe 2026 Yamaha YZF-R7 has arrived at Whatever Wheels, completely redefined to deliver the ultimate middleweight Supersport experience. Taking the already thrilling CP2 platform to new heights, the R7 now features a comprehensive electronics suite and chassis upgrades that make it more dynamic, confidence-inspiring, and track-ready than ever before.
This is the perfect bike for riders looking for genuine Supersport feel, class-leading CP2 power, and R1-derived technology without the extreme cost of a litre bike.
Electronics Revolution: R1 DNA in the Middleweight Class
The R7 finally gets the brains to match its brawn, thanks to the introduction of the R1-developed 6-axis IMU. This is a game-changer for the middleweight sports bike segment:
- Rider Aids: The IMU enables a new suite of fully customisable electronic aids, including a three-stage, lean-sensitive Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control (SCS), Lift Control (LIF), and Brake Control (BC).
- Yamaha Ride Control (YRC): Choose from three preset modes (SPORT, STREET, RAIN) or create two fully customisable settings via the MyRide app.
- YCC-T Throttle: The introduction of Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) ensures a smoother, more linear torque curve from the 689cc CP2 engine.
Refined Chassis, Ultimate Agility
The goal for 2026 was a more refined, dynamic handling experience. Yamaha engineers went to town on the chassis:
- Rigidity Optimised: The frame sees major changes to the pipe layout, diameter, and thickness, resulting in improved torsional, longitudinal, and lateral rigidity.
- SpinForged Wheels: The R7 adopts Yamaha- ?s lighter, more agile SpinForged wheels, fitted with high-grip Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres.
- Fully Adjustable Suspension: The 41mm inverted front forks now feature aluminium piston rods, reducing weight, and are fully adjustable for preload, rebound, and compression damping.
- Braking & Shifting: Benefit from a sophisticated Brake Control (BC) system and the Third Generation Quick Shift System (QSS), enabling seamless clutchless up AND down shifts.
R-Series Design & Connectivity
The R7 receives sleek and aerodynamic next-generation R-Series design, aligning its aesthetic with the R1 and R9.
- New Cockpit: A 5-inch full-colour TFT display offers four themes, plus a dedicated Track Mode focusing on the lap-timer.
- Y-TRAC Rev: Log and analyse your riding data, including lean angle and speed, using the free Y-TRAC Rev app- "you can even get messages on your dash from your 'pit crew'.
- Convenience: Cruise Control is now standard for longer motorway journeys, along with a Speed Limiter and intuitive, auto-cancelling indicator switches.
Celebrate Yamaha's 70-year heritage! The R7 is available in the stunning, limited-edition 70th Anniversary colours (evoking the 1999 R7), plus Icon Performance and Midnight Black.
