Yamaha MT-07 2025: Redefining the Iconic Ride

The Yamaha MT-07 has consistently been one of Europe’s best-selling motorcycles since it first hit the scene, and it’s easy to see why. Designed to capture the thrill and freedom found on the urban streets of Japan, the MT-07 delivers one of the most exhilarating and authentic riding experiences. Renowned for its lightweight frame, agile handling, and torque-rich CP2 engine, the MT-07 is now more powerful and thrilling than ever before. This latest iteration showcases fresh styling, chassis refinements, and new tech that amplify its legendary appeal without straying from its core promise: unmatched, smile-inducing fun.

Elevated Specs for Enhanced Performance

The 2025 MT-07 introduces top-tier components, including radially mounted front brake calipers, 41 mm inverted forks, and SpinForged wheels that reduce weight. These upgrades enhance the MT-07’s agility while Yamaha’s acoustic technology brings out the deep, throaty sound of the CP2 engine. Together, these refinements make for a more engaging and immersive ride.

Bold, Compact Styling

True to its minimalist roots, the MT-07’s new design is both striking and practical. The stripped-down look, highlighted by a unique LED headlight, is paired with a revised, more commanding riding position. Every detail serves a purpose, making the MT-07 an embodiment of Yamaha’s "Dark Side of Japan" philosophy, now taken to a new level.

Y-AMT: A Revolutionary Riding Experience

The MT-07 can be equipped with Yamaha’s Y-AMT (Yamaha Advanced Motorcycle Transmission), offering a transformative riding experience. Riders can switch between manual shifting with a simple finger-operated control or a fully automatic transmission for effortless cruising. Y-AMT seamlessly integrates with Yamaha Ride Control (YRC), allowing you to fine-tune your ride with features like cruise control for relaxed highway journeys.

Note: Cruise Control is exclusive to the MT-07 Y-AMT model.

Precision Throttle Control with YCC-T

Yamaha’s YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) unlocks a new generation of electronic aids, providing a smoother, more responsive throttle. With Yamaha Ride Control (YRC), you have access to two throttle modes and adjustable traction control, plus a customizable YRC mode that allows you to set preferences for an optimal riding experience.

Amplified Sound for an Intense Connection

The MT-07’s sound amplification system channels the bike’s iconic induction roar, amplifying it for the rider. This unique feature heightens the visceral connection between rider and machine, adding to the thrill of every twist of the throttle.

Advanced Suspension for Precision Handling

New 41 mm inverted forks give the MT-07 a modern look and enhanced front-end control. Paired with an adjustable linked-type rear shock absorber, the suspension provides a balanced ride that is both responsive and comfortable, catering to the demands of spirited riders.

Lighter, Agile Wheels with SpinForged Technology

Yamaha’s SpinForged wheels are a marvel of engineering, designed to be thin yet strong, reducing overall bike weight for improved handling. Paired with Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tires, the MT-07 offers superior grip and agility, perfect for navigating a range of road conditions.

TFT Display with Smartphone Connectivity

A 5-inch TFT display allows riders to stay connected through the MyRide app, providing music control, call and message notifications, and full navigation via the Garmin StreetCross app. With Yamaha’s new handlebar switchgear, managing these features on the go is easier than ever.

Iconic Parallel-Twin Engine

The heart of the MT-07 is its signature parallel-twin engine, powered by Yamaha’s crossplane crankshaft technology. This engine is celebrated for its responsive torque delivery and engaging character. Updates for 2025 enhance torque, power, and sound quality, with smoother shifting when paired with Y-AMT.

Enhanced Ergonomics for All Riders

The MT-07’s ergonomics are now sportier, thanks to wide, tapered handlebars that are set lower and closer to the rider. This adjustment improves handling and provides a comfortable riding position suitable for a wide range of riders, supported by a seat height of 805 mm.

Powerful Braking System for Greater Control

With radially mounted 4-piston brake calipers gripping large twin discs, the MT-07 offers enhanced stopping power. The increased rigidity in the braking system ensures consistent performance even during hard braking, providing riders with confidence and control.

Integrated Controls and Safety Features

Yamaha has refined the MT-07’s handlebar controls to manage a broader range of functions, including smartphone connectivity, navigation, and riding modes. New self-canceling turn signals, a ‘three-flash’ lane-change function, and Emergency Stop Signalling (ESS) offer advanced safety and convenience, enhancing rider awareness and communication on the road.
