I’m 5’8 with a 31” inseam. The way the R7 seat height is setup is kind of deceiving. I say that because the tank is so slim that when I get on the bike itself I can damn near flat-footed at my height. But when I sit on the 2017+ R6 I cannot. It’s also been awhile so maybe someone else who owns one can chime in.
Compare this to the Ninja 400, a bike that is easily flat footed .. the R7 is taller and more aggressive. The ninja 400 is close to a naked bike upright style.
Compare the R7 to the R3 - same comments as above
Compare the R7 to the 2020 R1 and you will find the R1 is the most aggressive … almost as if your in a constant fetal position. The R7 is not this bad.
On the street the R7 is fine even with it’s sporty position. I ride mine to work often and don’t have an issue. Sometimes my wrists will get sore but a quick change of my body position such as gripping the tank with my legs fixes things. This can be tiring though for long street rides.
I rode the R7 back from the dealer roughly 3 hours all interstate and yes my back and knees were sore. Those moments def need lots of body changes on the bike and leg stretching like Rossi going into a turn.
Overall it’s not terrible but it won’t be super comfortable like a naked bike. Honestly though, I enjoy it and wanted this style as that’s what I enjoy.
