Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha R7 2022
Those who expect the Yamaha R7 to be a half-hearted solution will be surprised at how well-balanced the little supersports bike is. Of course, the engine with just over 70 hp doesn't have what it takes to challenge the R6, for example, but the engine with its punch from below fits the character perfectly. The chassis components are of high quality, even fully adjustable at the front, and the handling of the slim grenade is absolutely awesome. The seating position is fine, not as radical as on a real super sports bike, and therefore suitable for everyday use.

The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.
