Yamaha's R7 LAMS or LA offers a restricted 655 cc version of the new sportsbike, designed specifically for new riders and Australia's beginner segment restrictions, a bit like the A2 system in the UK.
Priced at $1000 lower than the full power version, with a decent bit of horsepower lopped off and a little torque, the R7 LA offers all the benefits of the full version but learner legal.
Is that a noticeable difference in performance in real world terms? Not in regular riding conditions, but the bike does feel like they've taken the slightest of edges off the power delivery, and there's little doubt it's more noticeable up top, once you surpass legal road speeds.
Here's my thoughts after spending time with the R7 LA.
