Yamaha has unveiled the fourth-generation MT-07 which comes soon after the showcase of the 2025 MT-09. This one being a major update, the MT-07 now features a new chassis, advanced electronics, and a complete styling overhaul, aligning it closely with the MT-09 and MT-10 models. The motorcycle is set to hit global markets next year and will be available in three striking colours – Ice Storm, Icon Blue, and Tech Black.
Built around a new, more rigid tubular steel chassis, it maintains the same weight of 14.8 kg as the older chassis. However, the innovative spin-forged 17-inch rims help reduce unsprung mass by 500 gm. Furthermore, the new minimalistic styling helps shave off an additional 600 gm, bringing the 2025 Yamaha MT-07’s dry weight down to 183 kg, making it close to a kilogram lighter than its predecessor.

The Yamaha MT-07 is now equipped with a lighter 41 mm upside-down fork, and preload adjustable monoshock. While braking hardware now employs four-piston radial brake calipers up front for improved braking performance. Yamaha has also refined the ergonomics for a more engaging stance. The seat height has been dropped to 805 mm and is accompanied by a wider handlebar that’s closer to the rider and footpegs that are lowered by 10 mm. Fuel tank capacity stands at 14-litres

For the powertrain, the MT-07 retains its same 690 cc CP2 parallel-twin engine that has been reworked, delivering a max power output of 72.4 bhp and peak torque of 66.88 Nm. The motor has been updated to include a ride-by-wire throttle that enables three ride modes and a customisable mode. Besides the standard 6-speed transmission, the MT-07 can also be opted for with Yamaha’s Y-AMT transmission which made its debut on the MT-09. All these new features are accessible through a 5-inch TFT display, which also supports smartphone connectivity and navigation.
Currently, there is no news of Yamaha bringing the MT-07 to India, but if considered, it will be an interesting motorcycle to have in the middle-weight segment.
