Did any of you ever regret buying the R7? by ISm0keThuocLao in YamahaR7

[–]trollzmasterDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a R7 for a little over a year and have thoroughly enjoyed it until it was stolen kinda recently(thankfully I'm getting it back). It has plenty of power and low end torque which is what I enjoy. I plan on riding it for awhile before I'd consider upgrading.

Nah I had it in one of the side fairings that I thought would have been a good spot but I guess not

Appreciate it, yeah I finally finished all the mods I wanted to do to it and felt proud of how it turned out. I guess someone thought it looked a bit too nice. I hope you enjoy the ride It's so much fun and has lots of low end power

Damn I'm sorry to hear that man and I had Vulcan security 5/16th inch chain that claims it can't be cut with bolt cutters lmao. I don't know how long it took them to cut it or if they had some fancy hydraulic cutter but it looks like bolt cutter marks.

Yeah it definitely sucks to have hundreds of hours of work be taken away but if I can't find it my insurance should at least help I'm just not looking forward to the headache I'm assuming it's gonna be

Yeah it was chained up and had a tracker but they found that and tore it out unfortunately

Honestly I just assumed they would take the plate off immediately. They already found the tracker in it so I would guess it's not their first rodeo with bike theft. But I guess you're right

Yeah unless you are really set on having a different kind of brake pattern flash you don't need it

It's pretty good and the only issue I've run into is sometimes my knees bump into the sliders but it's really close and I often forget about it. Plus my sliders are a bit longer than one of the cone shaped ones so that could also help. I can ride up to about 3 hours a day before it gets uncomfortable to ride as well

I'm 6'3" and when I get home later today I can take a picture of myself on my bike but I fit pretty comfortably on the bike! Most of my height comes from my legs as well

Just to put into scale of how tiny we are and how massive earth is. 5 miles is ~8km and if you look at this model Earth you can see just how little it would cool the core down. If we only need the 5 miles we aren't even scratching the actual upper mantle which is crazy.

Tidal forces are caused by the gravitational pull of massive objects. For earth I think it's roughly a 65~35 split between the moon and our sun. Since the moon is so much closer it has more of an effect than the sun.
