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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The YZF-R7 now features an advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) developed from the YZF-R1 Superbike. Data collected from the IMU and wheel speed sensors enable a high-tech suite of rider aids including a Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS), front wheel Lift Control System (LIF), Brake Control (BC), Engine Brake Management (EBM) and Launch Control (LC). Each of these systems can have their levels of intervention adjusted to preference.
Owners can customize their riding experience via Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) settings, which allow the selection of engine power characteristics and electronic intervention levels to suit conditions. For quick, easy selections, three integrated riding modes are programmed with factory settings to suit different situations: SPORT, STREET and RAIN. Additionally, riders can create two CUSTOM modes or four TRACK modes with tailored settings to suit exact preferences. YRC settings can be customized either directly within the dashboard menu or on a smartphone via the Y-Connect app.
The YZF-R7's high-tensile steel tubular frame has been completely revised for enhanced strength and higher torsional, longitudinal, and lateral rigidity, while still retaining the same weight as the previous model. To complement the updated frame, the design of the asymmetrical swingarm has also been revised to optimize rigidity. The result is excellent stability and clearer feedback from the road.
Through Yamaha's exclusive spin-forging process, sporty 10-spoke aluminum wheels enhance looks while significantly reducing unsprung weight. The result is improved suspension action and decreased moment of inertia for a more responsive feel, especially during cornering and braking. The 2026 YZF-R7 also comes equipped with high performance Bridgestone® Battlax Hypersport S23 tires.
The riding position has been revised for 2026 with the aim of enhancing rider movement and comfort. Handlebar positioning slightly higher and closer to the rider aids upper body movement, while a redesigned seat shape and lower seat height eases reach to the ground for enhanced accessibility. Additionally, a new fuel tank shape improves grip and allows for greater freedom of movement both forward and rearward.
For track enthusiasts, the YZF-R7 now comes equipped with Yamaha's new Y-TRAC Rev compatibility making it possible to communicate with a pit crew while on track similar to pro rider communications with a race team. Main functions include a Lap Timer, Virtual Pitboard, and Ride Data Analysis to collect and display data on the motorcycle's TFT display in real time, as well as analyze riding data post-session.
