Yamaha Released R/World Teaser – YZF-R7 To Debut Soon?

Yamaha has just dropped a new teaser that could be a confirmation of its rumoured fully-faired MT-07.

Reports suggested that Yamaha plans to release an all-new fully-faired motorcycle based on the CP2 689cc engine found on the MT-07.

Despite the 28 seconds video not revealing anything about the motorcycle, we can safely assume it refers to the YZF-R7 based on a few factors.

The R/World video talks about a track and street motorcycle, hinting that the bike is build to suit both occasions.

Yamaha also includes the alleged motorcycle’s soundtrack, with closer inspection suggest it refers to the CP2 engine.

We like motorcycle boots that don't look like motorcycle boots. That just adds versatility to them and allows you to use them for purposes other than just riding. That's the first thing we like about the Eleveit Nirvana WP boots, but there are things we don't quite like either. Watch the video to find out! #Eleveit #EleveitBoots #MotorcycleReview

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
