The MT-07 has been among Europe's best selling motorcycles since its launch, and for good reason. It delivers one of the purest and most thrilling riding experiences, inspired by the riding sub-cultures found on the urban streets of Japan. Famed for its light weight, agile handling and torque-laden CP2 engine, the MT-07 combines punchy performance with distinctive styling, a confidence-inspiring chassis and rider-focused technologies to enhance the riding experience, while retaining what has made the MT-07 one of the most important motorcycles of the last decade: grin-inducing fun.
MT-07 Features
A new era of riding with Y-AMT and Cruise Control
Revolutionising the way we ride, Y-AMT creates a whole new riding experience – and the MT-07 can be equipped with Y-AMT to experience this new dimension. With lightning-fast 0.1-second gear shifts, Y-AMT delivers an immersive and direct connection between rider and machine, helping you make the most of the MT-07’s responsive performance. Choose between manual shifting via a finger-operated see-saw switch, or opt for a fully automatic transmission whenever required. Y-AMT works in perfect harmony with Yamaha Ride Control (YRC)’s electronic features, while cruise control further reduces effort for relaxed highway riding. *Cruise Control only available on the MT-07 Y-AMT.
Distinctive minimalist styling
MT-07 features a stripped-back look with a distinctive ‘face’ from the minimalist LED headlight unit, straight from the Dark Side of Japan. With engineering and styling in perfect harmony, nothing is added to the MT-07 unless it truly enhances the riding experience. The result is a motorcycle which connects to its rider in a way few others can match.
Electronic throttle, YRC riding modes and switchable TCS
YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) facilitates a suite of rider aids and contributes to linear power delivery, creating a greater connection between rider and machine. Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) allows you to choose between two throttle maps and switchable traction control, with the option of a customisable YRC mode to match your own preferences.
Acoustic amplifying technology
Contributing to the visceral connection between rider and machine, the MT-07 features a sound amplification system which harnesses the bike's induction roar, enhancing and channeling it to the rider to increase the grin-inducing feeling offered by the MT's famous torque.
Highly responsive adjustable suspension
The 41mm ‘upside down’ forks offer high levels of control and an intuitive level of connection with the front tyre. The highly responsive forks are matched to a linked-type rear shock absorber, which is adjustable for both preload and rebound damping, creating a sporting ride every time.
Lightweight SpinForged wheels with Dunlop radial tyres
Contributing to the MT-07’s light weight and agile handling, the wheels have been manufactured using Yamaha’s patented SpinForged technology. This allows for a thinner and lighter casting, without compromising strength. Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tyres have been specially chosen as OE equipment for MT-07, being famed for their light handling and all-round capabilities.
Full colour 5-inch TFT display with connectivity and navigation
The MT-07’s 5-inch TFT instruments come with multiple themes and smartphone connectivity via the free MyRide app, so you can listen to music, as well as view incoming call and message notifications on the dashboard. Full map and turn-by-turn navigation is also available through the free Garmin StreetCross app, all of which can be controlled through the switchgear.
Torque-rich EU5+ 690cc CP2 engine
The jewel in the MT-07’s crown, the soulful parallel-twin features Yamaha’s crossplane crankshaft technology. Always known for its engaging response and linear torque delivery, it combines engaging performance and strong torque with a vibrant soundtrack and a rewarding gear change, especially with Y-AMT.
Commanding riding position
Known for creating a strong sense of unity between rider and machine, the ergonomics of the MT-07 are designed for a sporty riding experience. The wide tapered aluminium handlebars, seat and footpeg positions combine to create an agile riding position, complemented by an 805mm seat height that puts confident control within easy reach.
Large diameter dual radially mounted front disc brakes
Providing next level stopping power, the fourth-generation MT-07 features large twin discs gripped by radially mounted 4-piston brake calipers. The design facilitates strong and consistent braking performance thanks to the increased rigidity, which ensures forces are equally distributed under hard emergency braking.
Intuitive switchgear and self-cancelling turn signals
Integrated handlebar switch assemblies enable operation of the MT-07’s functions, including smartphone connectivity, navigation and riding modes, as well as access to further menu options. The turn signals are self-cancelling and offer a ‘three flash’ function for changing lanes. For added rider safety, Emergency Stop Signalling automatically detects emergency braking and activates the indicator lights to notify other road users.
