The new 2025 MT-07 is the highest specification yet, including new radially mounted front brake calipers, 41 mm inverted forks, lightweight SpinForged wheels and striking next-generation MT styling.

Features may include:

• Advanced Twin-Cylinder DOHC Engine

The MT-07 features the renowned 689cc liquid-cooled, inline twin cylinder CP2 engine with fuel injection. The fun and characterful CP2 provides both outstanding low- to mid-range torque and strong high-RPM pulling power. Adding to the visceral connection between rider and machine, the MT-07 also features Acoustic Amplifying Technology which harnesses the CP2's induction roar, channeling it to the rider for an enhanced engine soundtrack and feeling of acceleration.

• Next-Generation Electronic Rider Aids

The advanced Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) contributes to a more linear power delivery and greater connection between rider and machine, while enabling next-generation electronic aids including Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) with three available throttle maps and switchable Traction Control. YRC includes two quick-select preset modes (SPORT and STREET) along with a customizable YRC mode allowing the rider to match their preferred power delivery to their preferred level of Traction Control.

• Highly Responsive KYB Adjustable Suspension

An inverted 41mm KYB front fork offers high levels of control and a planted front-end feel when cornering and braking, all while providing the MT-07 with a more modern look. The linked-type monocross KYB rear shock is optimized to match the rigidity of the front fork, creating a more sporting ride.

• Radially Mounted Front Brakes

Providing next-level stopping power, the 2026 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 during hard braking.

• Five-Inch TFT Display with Smartphone Connectivity

Riders can link their smartphone to the MT-07's rich, full-color TFT display via Yamaha's free Y-Connect app. Functionality includes the ability to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth headset, not provided). Additionally, full turn-by-turn navigation is available through the Garmin StreetCross app to make each journey easier.

• Minimalist Next-Generation MT Styling

Stripped-back next-generation styling with a minimalist LED headlight unit creates a striking face clearly inspired by the Dark Side of Japan's distinctively modern styling aesthetic. 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.

The 2026 Yamaha MT-07 stands out with a refined, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke inline twin-cylinder off the line, delivering 689cc of compact, high-revving power to the rider who wants immediate engagement. The engine features a DOHC arrangement with 4 valves per cylinder and an 11.5:1 compression ratio, paired to a 6-speed transmission with a multiplate wet clutch and Assist for smoother, lighter clutch action. A chain final drive keeps the drivetrain direct, while a wet weight of 403 pounds makes for a nimble, ready-to-turn chassis.

In terms of capability, the MT-07 merges precise handling with a balanced chassis. The front suspension offers 5.1 inches of travel with a 134.51 foot-equivalent measurement, complemented by a KYB single shock at the rear with adjustable preload and rebound damping. Braking performance is matched to the performance intent, with front brakes and rear brakes sized to stop with confidence, and race-inspired Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tires in 120/70ZR17 at the front and 180/55ZR17 at the rear. The bike sits on a 4.58-foot wheelbase for steady highway stability, while a seat height of 2.64 feet keeps rider control within easy reach.

The MT-07 is designed to maximize every ride with thoughtful dimensions and ready ergonomics. Its compact body measures 6.77 feet in length, 2.56 feet in width, and 3.64 feet in height, with a modest fuel tank capacity of 3.7 gallons that keeps you nimble on city streets or twisty back roads. Wet weight remains a concise platform for precision handling, so you feel connected to the road at every turn. View the Yamaha MT-07 at Vallely Sport & Marine.
