2023 Yamaha MT-07: DARK ATTRACTION.

Introducing the new 2023 Yamaha MT-07…

Featuring a distinctive next generation look and features, as well as an advanced twin‑cylinder engine. Experience the best balance of performance and value the Dark Side has to offer.

Inspired by Japanese subculture and created by some of the most visionary designers in the business, the Yamaha MT-07 marked the real beginning of Yamaha’s “hyper naked” segment when it arrived in 2014. The 2023 MT-07 represents the progressive evolution of Yamaha’s popular naked middleweight, reinforcing the core values of this outstandingly successful and much-loved motorcycle.

With over 160.000 units sold, the MT-07 has held the number 1 position in its class since it was launched. With its torque-rich 690cc CP2 engine, compact and agile chassis and outstanding all-round versatility, it’s impossible not to love Yamaha’s top-selling Hyper Naked.

The latest model features 5-inch TFT instruments with switchable screen styles – and smartphone connectivity. And the refined EU5-compliant engine gives you even more linear response with a gutsier exhaust note.

When it comes to style, the MT-07 is a real head turner. Its distinctive bodywork features twin winglet-type air intakes and compact LED lights giving a bold and futuristic look that shares the same DNA as every Yamaha Hyper Naked. And with its natural ergonomics, accessible seat height and flexible riding position, it’s the ultimate everyday bike!

Being the runaway market leader tells you a lot about the MT-07. It’s been the best-selling Hyper Naked every year since its launch in 2014. But what you may not know is how the idea behind the MT concept came about.

2023 Yamaha MT-07 Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

TOP FEATURES

  • Advanced Twin-Cylinder Engine
    The MT-07 features the compact 689cc liquid-cooled, inline twin cylinder, DOHC CP2 engine with fuel injection. 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 characteristics, even when the throttle is slightly open at low rpm.
  • New Full-Color 5-inch TFT Display
    New for the 2023 MT-07 is the installation of a 5-inch full-color TFT display that provides a choice of two different screen modes. The “Street” mode is a more modern layout with a bar-type tachometer, digital speedo and gear selection readouts. The “Touring” mode features a more conventional circular analog-style tachometer on the right of the screen and digital speedometer on the left.
  • New Yamaha Y-Connect Smartphone Connectivity
    The new MT-07 now features Yamaha Motorcycle Connect (Y-Connect) smartphone connectivity which works in conjunction with the free-of-charge Y-Connect app (available for iOS and Android) to enable a direct connection between motorcycle and smartphone. Y-Connect capability for the MT-07 includes the ability to view incoming call, email and message notifications, along with time, phone battery level, connection status and weather information on the new TFT display. Additional useful functions include monitoring and notifying the rider or other contact of motorcycle technical issues, and also the ability to track and record key motorcycle ride data within the app, including distance covered, fuel consumption, acceleration, top speed, lean angle and much more.
  • Compact Frame Design
    The MT-07’s high-strength steel frame provides an optimized balance of rigidity for nimble, agile handling. Using the engine as a stressed member of the chassis allows for a lighter, more compact main frame design, contributing to the bike’s low wet weight of only 406 pounds.
  • Next-Generation Design
    The MT-07’s aggressive look further enhances its distinctive appeal. Bold colors and graphics integrate with the minimalist stripped-back design and structural elements to emphasize pure Hyper Naked character. With a silhouette that is synonymous with the MT Series’ signature statement of torque and power, the MT-07 showcases a tight, compact and powerful appearance.
  • LED Projector Lighting
    Full LED lighting for the position lights, headlight and both front and rear turn signals exhibit clear and powerful illumination with a modern design.

 

 

ENGINE

  • Advanced Twin-Cylinder Engine
    The MT-07 features the compact 689cc liquid-cooled, inline twin cylinder, DOHC CP2 engine with fuel injection. 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 characteristics, even when the throttle is slightly open at low rpm.
  • Crossplane Crankshaft Concept
    The two-cylinder engine features Yamaha’s Crossplane Crankshaft Concept 270-degree crank that provides linear torque development in response to the rider’s throttle input. Offering excellent rider-machine communication, the CP2 engine is also light, slim and compact.
  • Compact Stacked Transmission
    The six-speed transmission “stacks” the input/output shafts in a triangular layout. Keeping the overall engine size shorter from front-to-back, the placement in the frame is optimized for outstanding weight balance. The transmission ratios bring out the best of the low- to mid-speed torque with excellent response characteristics to reduce the need for frequent shifts.
  • Midship Exhaust System
    By placing the muffler low in the frame and as close to the center of the machine as possible, the bike’s mass is centralized for improved all around handling.
  • Offset Cylinder Block
    The CP2 engine shifts its cylinder bores slightly forward, towards the exhaust side which reduces piston-to-cylinder wall friction, resulting in more power and improved fuel economy.
  • Refined Fuel Injection
    From the open roads to the urban sprawl, refined electronic fuel injection settings deliver a smooth throttle response for enhanced riding enjoyment. The system delivers outstanding torque in the low- and mid-rpm range, exciting acceleration in the upper rpm range, along with linear and seamless throttle response across the entire rev range.

 

 

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

  • Assertive Riding Position
    The MT-07 features a wide, tapered handlebar for an improved feeling of control and comfort for a range of rider sizes.
  • Compact Frame Design
    The MT-07’s high-strength steel frame provides an optimized balance of rigidity for nimble, agile handling. Using the engine as a stressed member of the chassis allows for a lighter, more compact main frame design, contributing to the bike’s low wet weight of only 406 pounds.
  • Lightweight Wheels
    Lightweight 10-spoke cast aluminum wheels reduce unsprung weight for great handling and suspension performance. The Michelin Road 5 tires offer excellent grip and agility with 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear sizes.
  • Exceptional Stopping Power
    For excellent stopping power, control and feel while braking, the MT-07 features 298mm front brake discs with four-piston calipers and a 245mm rear disc. ABS comes standard to boost rider confidence and prevent wheel lock-ups in reduced traction conditions.
  • KYB® Front Fork
    The MT-07’s front suspension features a 41mm KYB® fork with 5.1 inches of travel. With carefully selected spring rates and damping settings, the suspension has a refined feel and responsively performs across a wide range of riding styles.
  • Adjustable KYB® Rear Shock
    The MT-07 features a link-type KYB® rear shock adjustable for both rebound damping and spring preload. With 5.1 inches of rear travel, the shock is positioned below the seat with an almost horizontal alignment to help make the chassis even more compact.
  • Sporty Chassis Dimensions
    Working with the characteristics of the compact twin-cylinder engine, the wheelbase, seat height, fuel tank width, rake and other dimensions achieve a sporty, light and neutral handling character.
