Developed using Yamaha's crossplane technology, this learner approved 655cc CP2 engine gives the MT-07 a more engaging linear response and character with easy-to-use performance and improved engine sound.

MT-07's large 298mm front dual disc gives strong stopping power and great controllability. Together with the 245mm rear disc, the system offers high performance braking and is especially apparent in wet conditions.

The MT-07's 5-inch TFT instruments can be set to Street Theme or Touring Theme to suit your individual requirements. With the smartphone connectivity via the free Y-Connect app, you can view incoming call and message notifications on the TFT meter, as well as monitor all key parameters of the bike on the app.

Winglets on the sides of the 14-litre fuel tank give the bike a more dynamic stance. The fuel tank covers are manufactured from injection-moulded plastic resin to reduce weight, and a 3D moulded texture is featured around the rider's knee grip area to give improved controllability for a sportier character.

Modern, compact and lightweight, the bifunctional LED headlight features a centrally-located high/low projector lamp. This compact projector headlight produces a powerful beam with well-defined edges that provide excellent visibility. Left and right side dual-layer LED position lights give the MT-07 a signature Y-shape face that reaffirms its close family ties with the MT-09.

Along with a LED headlight the MT-07 is also equipped with high intensity indicators at the front and rear. Lighter and more compact, they complement the next generation style of the bike and reinforce the premium specification of this best-selling Hyper Naked.

Michelin PR5 tyres – 180/55-17 at the rear and 120/70-17 at the front – provide excellent levels of traction, sporty handling performance and excellent wet weather handling qualities, making the MT-07 the ideal choice for new and experienced riders.

The MT-09 is renowned for its agility and stability and this is enhanced by refined ergonomics, allowing the rider to feel at one with the machine by offering greater freedom of movement for different riding styles. In order to achieve this, the handlebar position is now lower and features two customisable positions, while the newly designed footrests are also adjustable. A new two-part seat further amplifies the feeling of freedom while riding.

Fully adjustable 41mm front forks run with optimised settings that match the character of the compact, high-rigidity frame, achieving excellent stability and offering a smoother and more controlled ride. The adjustable rear suspension features multiple settings, as well as a revised linkage to allow for a more dynamic feeling in cornering. New Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 M tyres fitted on Yamaha's SpinForged wheels offer high grip and lighter handling, ensuring you can get the most from the torque-packed acceleration.
