EICMA 2025: Yamaha YZF-R7 2026 – All New Look, TFT Dash, Quickshifter
Yamaha's booth at EICMA is a sportbike showcase today, headlined by the new-look 2026 YZF-R7, a tech-packed evolution of the MT-07 platform. It amps up track prowess with R1/MT-07 electronics while keeping the friendly 689cc CP2 soul.
Booth vibes: The R7 anchors a "R-Series Anniversary" corner with retro blue and the 70th anniversary white/red liveries on R7, R3, and new R9 siblings. Nearby: Updated MT-07 (lighter, more tech), Tracer 9 tweaks, and electric concepts like the e01+ scooter. Crowds swarm for QS demos.
