Another bike similar to YZF-R7 is Triumph Tiger Sport 800 which is launching in December 2025 in India.

Yamaha YZF-R7 Summary
Yamaha Motor India has showcased multiple models to its dealers in the country. This list comprises the company’s middleweight motorcycle, the YZF-R7, which is already available for sale in several international markets. We expect the India-bound model to carry similar features and specifications as the international-spec motorcycle.
Thus, the styling of the India-bound Yamaha YZF-R7 will include a single-pod headlight with twin LED DRLs, a YZR-M1 MotoGP bike-style M-shaped air intake, a full-fairing, a clip-on style handlebar, rear-seat foot pegs, split-style seats, and a compact exhaust.
This middleweight product will also get fairing-mounted rear-view mirrors, a muscular (13-litre) fuel tank with a YZF-R1-style fin design, and a YZF-R1-inspired taillight. Similar to the international market, the India-bound Yamaha YZF-R7, too, should be available in two colors – Icon Blue and Yamaha Black.

Yamaha YZF-R7 Design and Look
- Then, the mechanical specifications will include the same 689cc, parallel twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled CP2 engine as the international model. Notably, this motor also powers the MT-07. This power train uses a 270-degree crankshaft that gives an uneven firing sequence.
- Linked to a six-speed gearbox, this motor delivers 72.4bhp at 8,750rpm and 67Nm at 6,500rpm.
- The gearbox benefits from an assist and slipper clutch as standard, while a quick shift system is available as an optional extra in the international markets. We expect to see a similar setup on the India-bound model.
