The 2026 YZF-R7 delivers proven CP2 power, a sharper handling chassis and ultra-sleek new styling that embodies the exhilarating next-generation of R World. Packed with a range of new features including a redesigned frame, enhanced ergonomics, an advanced electronics package and smartphone connectivity, the YZF-R7 is revolutionizing the Supersport class with the ultimate combination of performance, accessibility and price.

Features may include:

• Ultra-Sleek New-Generation Styling

Sharp new aerodynamic styling fuses beauty and functionality with a compact front fairing design, slim, contoured side fairings, new aerodynamic winglets and LED turn signals now integrated into the rearview mirrors. Minimalist LED headlight and position lights combine with the R7's signature M-shaped duct and tail wing to reflect unmistakable Yamaha R-Series DNA from every angle.

• Iconic 70th Anniversary Edition Styling

The new 2026 YZF-R7 70th Anniversary Edition's aerodynamic next-generation R-Series design combines with iconic white and red speed block livery, gold Yamaha Tuning Fork emblems, and Anniversary Edition badge to celebrate the 1955 birth of Yamaha Motor Company and seven decades of motorsports excellence in standout style.

• Torquey CP2 Powerplant

Yamaha's proven 689cc twin-cylinder DOHC fuel-injected engine delivers excellent power and performance throughout the rpm range for an exhilarating ride and a true Supersport experience. Its 270-degree crossplane crankshaft provides linear torque for exciting acceleration and limited vibration.

• Tuned Induction

Contributing to the visceral connection between rider and machine, the new YZF-R7 adopts the same intake duct shape and asymmetrical funnel lengths as the current MT-07, harnessing the bike's induction roar for an enhanced feeling of acceleration from its renowned crossplane CP2 engine.

• New Five-Inch TFT & Enhanced Connectivity

A stunning new full-color five-inch TFT instrument display features four selectable themes along with a track-specific mode. Smartphone connectivity enabled through Yamaha's free Y-Connect app allows riders to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth® headset, not provided). Additionally, full turn-by-turn navigation is now available through the free Garmin® StreetCross app.

• New Third-Generation Quickshifter

The 2026 YZF-R7 is equipped with Yamaha's advanced third-generation Quick Shift System (QSS), enabling quick, clutchless upshifts and downshifts under both acceleration and deceleration. This system makes full-on acceleration on the track more exciting and downshifting faster and smoother with less chassis disruption when changing gears. The system operates at speeds above 10 mph, with upshifts above 2,000 RPM and downshifts above 1,600 RPM.
