In the world of street-going unobtainium, you are gawking at a unicorn. Built as Yamaha’s answer to Honda’s RC45, the R7 was homologated to the tune of just 500 units. With a potent 100+ HP in stock, street trim, this World Superbike contender could unleash 160+ snarling beasties when fed the right spinach and tickled…

Owning one is parking a piece of Superbike history in your garage, er, better make that your living room. Owning one is also proof that you have…
