Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R7 2024

All in all, the R7 is a very good beginner's track bike that prepared me for track riding in a safe, pleasant and in no way strenuous way and accompanied me along the way. The pleasant yet track-ready ergonomics, the light weight, the fantastic tyres, brakes and suspension components and the torquey engine at low and medium revs allowed me to correct mistakes that most novice track riders make, and all without bringing me down, scaring me, scaring me or even making me throw in the towel.

GASGAS SM 700 2024

The powerful single cylinder still brings a grin to the rider's face. The tighter the radii become, the better the SM 700 works, and the sporty suspension offers performance when ripping a corner rather than comfort on long journeys. The GasGas is a great example of the appeal of focussing on the essentials. A real fun machine, it's great that something like this is still being built.
