Underpinnings include a twin-spar aluminum frame, suspension includes a fully-adjustable 41mm KYB inverted fork and a preload/rebound adjustable monoshock. 298mm dual disc brakes at the front and a 245mm disc brake at the rear allow the bikes to stop and for added safety, they are equipped with dual-channel ABS which can be switched off for the rear wheel. The bikes get 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends. 

Yamaha YZF-R7 Features

In terms of features, both motorcycles come equipped with a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity for music control call/SMS alerts and turn-by-turn navigation. Both bikes come with a ride-by-wire throttle which allows for switchable traction control, wheelie control and riding modes.

The YZF-R7 is expected at Rs 10 - Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom) and is expected to be launched in India sometime later this year. Once launched, the YZF-R7 will go against the Honda CBR650R and the Triumph Daytona 660.
