New Yamaha MT-07 Y-AMT model details, with links to new and used dealer listings and latest Yamaha deals

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 is now punchier than ever. This latest evolution features new styling, chassis updates and technologies to further enhance the riding experience, while not detracting from what has made the MT-07 one of the most important motorcycles of the last decade: grin-inducing fun.

Dawn of a New Darkness
The latest MT-07 features the highest spec yet, including radially mounted front brake calipers, 41 mm inverted forks and lightweight SpinForged wheels. This contributes to a motorcycle with heightened levels of agility, while the innovative acoustic amplifying technology optimises the intake noise and unleashes the famous CP2 growl for the most engaging and immersive ride yet.

The compact new look perfectly embodies the MT-07’s stripped-back nature, with a revised and more commanding riding position and a distinctive identity driven by the minimalist LED headlight unit. With engineering and styling in perfect harmony, nothing has been added to the MT-07 unless it truly adds to the riding experience. The result is a motorcycle which is fleet of foot yet punching hard, elevating the Dark Side of Japan attitude to a whole new level.

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 MT-07 can be equipped with Y-AMT to experience this new dimension. Choose between manual shifting via a finger-operated see-saw switch, or opt for a fully automatic transmission when you need to. 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

All-new minimalist styling
MT-07 gets a new 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 new generation of electronic aids and contributes to an even more linear power delivery to create 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
New 41mm 'upside down' forks offer high levels of control and an intuitive level of connection with the front tyre, all while giving a modern look to the MT-07. 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 a lighter and more agile MT-07, 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 now 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 new switchgear.

Torque-rich EU5+ 690cc CP2 engine
The jewel in the MT-07’s crown, the soulful parallel-twin has been developed using Yamaha’s crossplane crankshaft technology. Always known for its engaging response and linear torque delivery, internal upgrades to the latest MT-07 gives it even more accessible performance, improved torque, a vibrant soundtrack and a refined 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 latest MT-07 are sportier than ever. The wide tapered aluminium handlebars are now lower and closer to the rider, while the rider triangle makes the MT-07 more agile, as well as suitable for all riders with its 805mm seat height.

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.

New intuitive switchgear and self-cancelling turn signals
Integrated new handlebar switch assemblies enable operation of the MT-07’s wider range of functions, including smartphone connectivity, navigation and riding modes, as well as exploring further menu options. The new turn signals are now self-cancelling and offer 'three flash' function for changing lanes. Also new, Emergency Stop Signalling automatically detects emergency braking and applies the indicator lights to automatically notify other road users.
