Looks promising

The R7’s handling is even sportier than its looks suggest, with a lean angle of up to 51 degrees being achievable thanks to the revised suspension setup. The KYB upside down forks are fully adjustable for rebound and compression, with a cast aluminium top yoke and forged aluminium bottom. This, combined with the 5mm closer to the steering stem and 20mm wider than the MT-07’s setup, gives the R7 an impressive level of feel and stability when cornering. 

The shock’s rising rate linkage also helps to lift the rear wheel for a sportier stance while providing adjustability for preload and rebound damping. The wheelbase is also reduced by 5mm to 1395mm, which further enhances the cornering capability. Overall, the R7 offers an incredible level of agility and confidence when tackling tight turns and twisties.
