Embracing the Racer Spirit: YAMAHA YZF-R7 Custom

 3 min read

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "YAMAHA YZF-R7" custom by Webike community user "Shinno Takuya". While the previous generation R7 was a rare racing bike produced in a limited edition of only 500 units, the 2022 second-generation model was developed as a reasonably priced version to cater to a larger number of riders. When the owner heard about its launch in Europe and the plan to introduce it to the Japanese market, he had such high expectations that he immediately gave up the bike he was riding at the time and purchased it without hesitation. He installed a fender eliminator kit from Y'S GEAR (YAMAHA), which further enhances the racer-like rear design. The owner is highly satisfied with the subtly stylish design that perfectly complements the bike. Additionally, he replaced the pillion seat with a single seat cowl, also from Y'S GEAR, to enhance the sporty image even further. The pillion step was removed since the bike has been transformed into a single-seater, and BABYFACE racing hooks were installed to cover the exposed screws. These additions serve as great accents that further enhance the bike's racer look. To protect the radiator from rocks and gravel during rides, the owner installed a Y'S GEAR radiator cover made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum material and coated to improve durability. For the owner, who enjoys circuit track days and touring on winding roads, this bike offers both the perfect aesthetics and the perfect riding experience.
