ENTER THE DARK SIDE
A do it all bike powered by Yamaha’s torque-rich CP2 engine in a lightweight, agile chassis offers accessible thrills in an aggressive Hyper Naked package.
Chassis / Suspension
- The short wheelbase, low seat height, narrow fuel tank width and other sporty dimensions achieve a light, neutral handling character.
- The MT-07’s advanced frame is designed for high rigidity and strength, providing nimble, agile handling.
- Using the engine as a stressed member of the chassis allows for a light, compact main frame design and low 403 pound wet weight.
- The swingarm is designed to optimize rigidity, contributing to clearer feedback from the road and enhanced stability.
- An inverted 41mm KYB® front fork offers high levels of control and a planted front-end feel when cornering and braking.
- The linked-type monocross KYB® rear shock is optimized to match the rigidity of the front fork, creating a more sporting ride.
- Large twin discs gripped by radially mounted 4-piston brake calipers provide strong and consistent braking performance.
- Lightweight SpinForged aluminum wheels reduce unsprung weight for quicker steering and outstanding agility.
- Engaged ergonomics include wide tapered aluminum handlebars slim fuel tank and seat designed for an easier reach to the ground.
Electronics
- A five-inch full-color TFT instrument display features four selectable themes.
- Smartphone connectivity enabled through Y-Connect allows riders to receive calls, message notifications and listen to music.
- Full turn-by-turn navigation is also available through the Garmin® StreetCross app.
- Ride-by-wire Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system enables cutting-edge computerized engine management.
- Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) provides riders the choice of three different throttle maps along with switchable Traction Control.
- YRC also includes two quick-select preset modes (SPORT and STREET) along with a customizable YRC mode.
Engine
- The compact DOHC 689cc liquid-cooled inline twin cylinder features Yamaha’s Crossplane Crankshaft Concept 270-degree crank.
- The fun and characterful CP2 engine provides both outstanding low- to mid-range torque and strong high-RPM pulling power.
- Fuel injection settings are optimized for seamless, linear throttle response.
- Cylinder bores are shifted slightly forward, reducing piston-to-cylinder wall friction for more power and improved economy.
- The six-speed transmission stacks the input/output shafts in a triangular layout, keeping the overall engine size more compact.
- Transmission ratios serve up strong low- to mid-range torque with excellent response, reducing the need for frequent shifts.
- Assist & Slipper clutch inhibits excessive engine braking for smooth, confident downshifts and a light lever pull.
- Acoustic Amplifying Technology harnesses the bike’s induction roar and channels it to the rider to enhance the feeling of acceleration.
- Exhaust is placed low in the frame, centralizing mass for improved overall handling.
Key Features
- 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.
- PREIMUM ELECTRONIC RIDER AIDS: The advanced Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) contributes to a linear power delivery and 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 sporting ride.
- RADIALLY MOUNTED FRONT BRAKES: Providing next-level stopping power, the 2027 MT-07 features large twin discs gripped by radially mounted 4-piston brake calipers. The design facilitates strong and consistent braking performance thanks to its optimized 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 MT STYLING: Stripped-back 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.
Other Features
- Innovative turn signals include quick signal, continuous signal and self-cancelling functions.
- Yamaha’s intuitive handlebar switch assembly navigates menu options, smartphone connectivity and YRC riding modes.
- Stripped-back MT styling includes minimalist LED headlight and position lights creating a striking face inspired by the Dark Side of Japan.
