The engine was updated in 2021 to be Euro 5 compliant providing peak output of 73.4 hp at 8,750 rpm and 67 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The Yamaha R7 reaches a top speed of 139 miles per hour.[6]

The 2022 Yamaha R7 model first came in two color options which was Team Yamaha Blue and Performance Black.[2] Later in 2022 Yamaha offered the Yamaha R7 in a special World GP 60th anniversary edition. This motorcycle came in a white color with red and gold accents that was paying respect to Yamaha and their racing program.[3]In 2023 Yamaha removed the World GP 60th Anniversary edition and added the new color Intensity White.[4]
