Talk:Yamaha YZF-R7

On 28 June 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved to Yamaha YZF-R7 (1999). The result of the discussion was not moved.

Importance[edit]

This bike warrants a greater amount of information about it. It had many technological features about it that would not show up on production sport bikes as commonality for years (even though the R7 was not designed to be a production machine--it paved the way for production sportbike technology), such as a back-torque limiting slipper clutch, for one. I'll begin some information gathering, but I would love to collaborate with someone on this; Roguegeek, you up to it?209.114.201.30 10:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

Ive got a picture I took at our local track of an R7 but Im not clued up enough to know how to insert it correctly in the article.

wrong picture?[edit]

Picture in infobox says it is a Yamaha YZF 750 not YZF-R7. 87.194.223.183 (talk) 23:38, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

yes wrong picture[edit]

I'm trying to upload the right picture because the one n the infobox is a YZF 750 and not R7. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edumototester (talk • contribs) 20:38, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a good picture then upload it a Wikimedia Commons. The Contributing your own work guide is a pretty good start. Shout if you need help. --Biker Biker (talk) 21:08, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INFOBOXIMAGE[edit]

"If InfoboxImage is not yet fully implemented in the infobox you are using, the same alt=, upright=, title=, etc., parameters may be called using Extended image syntax, calling frameless, not thumb."

How does the above justify the constant tag team reverting of the frameless image? Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:20, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Spacecowboy420:: because the infobox does use InfoboxImage... --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 15:28, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yamaha YZF-R7 → Yamaha YZF-R7 (1999) – There's now a new motorcycle from Yamaha with the same "R7" name. This article should be renamed and a second article created. https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/supersport/models/yzf-r7 Akeosnhaoe (talk) 15:10, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A DAB page could be created if the other is notable but I'd consider waiting for views once its created. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:09, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Appears to just be a second generation, so the existing article should be expanded to include both models. Andrewa (talk) 17:57, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:PRODUCT. The last thing we need is more articles about slightly different versions of motorcycles. What we really need is to merge more of them into larger articles covering multiple related models, or upmerge into lists of motorcycles or the main article about the manufacturer. We do not create on article per model of any product, even cars or motorcycle models, unless significant reason is demonstrated by reliable sources. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 23:23, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Yamaha YZF-R7 (2022 bike) into Yamaha YZF-R7[edit]

I don't really see a reason that the 2022 version of the YZF-R7 is independently notable from the YZF-R7 itself. In line with WP:NOPAGE, it would probably be better to cover this in the broader context of the model rather than to give it its own page. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 23:30, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure that apart from sharing the R7 name, the two bikes have absolutely nothing in common technically, and don't share any design lineage. For what its worth, my view is that they should have separate pages. 86.181.22.122 (talk) 22:49, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Based on the sources' descriptions of the 2022 model, it seems they're completely different and only share a name by happenstance/nostagic consumer-baiting. The 2022 bike might not be notable in the first place--I don't know how WP:MOTORSPORT views these sources--but I think I also oppose a merge. Alyo (chat·edits) 15:25, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Closing with no merge, given the uncontested objections and no support. Klbrain (talk) 11:28, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
