Yamaha YZF-R7

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Yamaha YZF-R7, also called the OW-02, is a race homologation motorcycle that Yamaha announced in 1999 and built in a limited run of 500 units worldwide, to compete in the Superbike World Championship and the Suzuka 8 Hours. It has a 749 cc DOHC 20-valve inline-four engine producing 79 kW, and Yamaha also made two race kits that raised output beyond 100 kW. The chassis was derived from the YZR500 grand prix machines of the period, with a shortened Deltabox II frame, titanium valves and connecting rods, Ohlins suspension and a dry weight of 189 kg. Yamaha detuned the road engines to meet the German horsepower limit, and Super Streetbikes magazine ranked it eighth among the most exotic bikes ever. Some racers fitted a YZF-R1 engine in its frame, an unofficial hybrid known as the R71.
