2025 Yamaha MT-07 Revealed Globally, Gets New Switchgear, Updated Chassis, and More Features

Following its earlier reveal of the updated R3 and R9 overseas, Yamaha has unveiled the new-generation MT-07. The flagship of the MT range, the MT-07, has been on sale in the international market for quite some time, having first arrived in 2014. In 2021, it was given a new face, an updated 689cc liquid-cooled engine, and larger front brake discs, among other things. Fast forward to the present day, the bike is now in its fourth generation. Specifically, the fourth-generation MT-07 gets Yamaha's Y-AMT (automated manual transmission) technology that debuted on the MT-09, along with the standard 6-speed transmission.

Weighing 2.8 kilograms, the Y-AMT system allows the rider to opt for either a finger-operated manual shift system or two automatic modes that automate gearshift operations. Alongside the Y-AMT, the 2025 MT-07 also gets ride-by-wire throttle, making it the first CP2-powered bike to do so. With ride-by-wire comes three preset ride modes and a customisable mode.

2025 Yamaha MT-07: Engine, Chassis

Speaking of, the new MT-07 uses the same 689cc CP2 parallel-twin engine but, for 2025, the engine gets a reworked airbox and new intake system. The fuel tank cover has been revised too. Despite these changes, the power and torque remain the same – 72.4bhp at 8,750rpm and 66.9Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. Chassis-wise, the 2025 iteration uses a more rigid tubular steel unit, suspended by a 41 mm upside-down front fork and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. Four-piston radial brake callipers at the front allow for improved stopping power and control.

Aside from that, Yamaha has updated the riding position for 2025, with a lower seat height (now 805mm), wider handlebars, and lower-set footpegs. Tipping the scales at 183kg (dry), the updated bike features minimalistic bodywork and lighter spin-forged 17-inch wheels with Dunlop radial tyres. It can hold 14 litres of fuel.
