That's me in the background at 0:43 on my RS660. My first track day and it was a lot of fun. We did manage to get a number of dry sessions in during the course of the day.

Your second ever tack day (Cadwell as your first!) in the wet, on road tyres......you do like to leave that comfort zone don't you 😳😂 Gotta say you looked smooth there pal and that colour scheme really suits the R7 👌🏻 Thanks for sharing, looking forward to more, keep it safe and keep enjoying pal 🙂🏍️👍🏻

Smooth is fast and rain means less people on track. nice job

Looking pretty good there ! Track riding is brilliant at showing you how much more is in reserve compared with road riding, meaning less panicking when situations arise on the road 👍

I had 2 bikes purely for track-days a few years ago (ZX6 and R6). I sold them after a year because of the ridiculously long booking time meant you couldn't tell the weather and I always ended up getting soaked after paying good money to enjoy myself months before. Several grand down the 'drain' has put me off of UK trackdays.

Great review Gareth. It was good to meet you at Cadwell and Brands ...I agree, Brands felt easier than Cadwell , despite the rain . 👍

Great to meet you too! Maybe we'll bump into each other again - plenty more riding to do!

If you get the tyres in reasonable operating temperature, and you DONT spin them, choose good lines, avoid any track-specific hazards (like slippery lines or curbs or a patch) its VERY enjoyable

A bike this underpowered shouldn't be given the R7 namesake....Yamaha should've made a true successor with 3+ cylinders

@@grahamhiggins1 Exactly. "R7" and the paint scheme had everyone excited, then it comes out as a glorified MT07. Bad move on Yamaha's part. I do hope they make the upcoming R2 multi-cylinder (preferably 3+ cyl.) - could you imagine the redline with those tiny pistons!?

That Yamaha R7 is the perfect bike to take in the rain. The bike is massively underpowered compared to a 600 so should be really easy to ride in the rain.

it's completely undeserving of being called an "R7". Just call it an FZR-07, and release a real bike with 3-4 cylinders as the R7

Barely making more power than a 90s 400 and weighing a lot more. If they could make these bikes lighter they might be a bit more interesting.
