2025 MT-07<\/h1>\n

DAWN OF A NEW DARKNESS<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The MT-07 has led the industry with its futuristic styling and a torque laden motor that has acquired legions of fans around the world. The edgy, sometimes radical, looks have given the MT series a cult following, inspiring a new generation of motorcyclists to take to two wheels and experience an exhilaration only those in the MT community understand. For 2025 Yamaha again looks to be the category trendsetter, as it welcomes this iconic member of the MT family with a fresh new look, an even higher specification and the option of a Y-AMT equipped version.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

New 41mm inverted forks adorn the front end of the new MT-07, offering a more planted front end feeling alongside a more modern and premium look. The upside down forks combine with the new chassis to deliver a more engaging ride, while the new die-cast aluminium triple clamp is a first on a large capacity Yamaha. These updates, along with the new design and SpinForged wheels not only enhance the agility of the MT-07, but also play a significant role in the overall weight saving goal. The new MT-07 weighs in at just 183kg \u2013 a full kilogram less than the previous model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The MT-07 is a engaging motorcycle to ride and the design team has sought to convey that in the styling. Up front, the character is defined by the headlamp unit, with the compact LED lights deliberately styled to look like two staring eyes and give the MT-07 its distinctive and sharp aspect. Great care has been taken to package hoses and cabling to maintain a neat appearance through the compact, newly designed fuel tank and tail unit, which completes the aggressiveness of the MT-07.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Powered by the legendary 690cc CP2 parallel-twin engine, the fourth-generation MT-07 features an innovative acoustic amplifying system to really elevate the aural experience when riding, improving the connection between rider and machine. Additionally, appearing on the CP2 platform for the first time, the 2025 MT-07 features the YCC-T electronic throttle which has previously been utilised on larger capacity models in the MT-series. Adopting this ride-by-wire throttle technology allows the MT-07 to employ a whole suite of electronic rider aids, which enable customisation and aid enjoyment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
