DARK ATTRACTION.

2020 Yamaha MT-07:

A light weight and torque inspired twin cylinder at a great value inviting you to experience the thrills of the dark side.

The MT-07 offers big time fun, affordability and riding enjoyment. This versatile naked roadster offers deep engine torque from its 689 cc parallel twin and a comfortable upright riding position combined with a lightweight, easy-to-handle sport chassis. The perfect machine for both new and experienced riders alike who are looking for outstanding value in a mid-class sport bike.

STYLING
The MT-07 was restyled in 2018 to more closely resemble its bigger MT siblings. The Ice Fluo (pictured), Tech Black and Yamaha Racing Blue colour options are the perfect complement to the MT-07’s minimal, naked design.

ENGINE
The ultra-reliable, liquid-cooled, 689 cc inline twin has been designed to provide deep torque in the most frequently used rpm range (3,000 to 6,500 rpm). A single balancer shaft keeps things silky smooth, while the 6-speed transmission with overdrive 6th gear reduces engine rpm at highway speeds.
