Yamaha seems to be relaunching the YZF-R7, but it doesn't look like what you're probably thinking of..... Judging by the engine family number it's using the MT-07 engine. Likely a CBR650 competitor. https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/new-vehicle-and-engine-certification-executive-orders-light-duty-vehicles
Oh man, I heard there were CARB filings with the CP2 engine off the MT-07. I'm super excited for this! I hope it's a good competitor to the 100hp Aprilia 660 and not just an 80 hp MT-07 with clipons and fairings.
Ugh, I hope not. I really want to see something like the R6 front end and swingarm on it so it can compete with the Aprilia.
