Commissioned shortly after the Type 7 build began, the Type 7A was inspired by the Type 3 but on a larger scale, geared specifically towards adventure. Unlike its urban-focused predecessors, the Type 7A was designed from the ground up as a dedicated off-road machine with inherent style.

Choosing the classic SR500 as the donor—featuring kick-start only, drum brakes, and a raw, back-to-basics character—proved ideal. A natural color palette was selected to harmonize with the bike's adventurous spirit and natural surroundings. The success of both the Type 3 and Type 7 builds sparked consistent demand, establishing a steady stream of orders for Type 7 models in various forms and finishes.
