Yamaha MT-07 2025

Yamaha MT-07 2025

The new Yamaha MT-07 is the best ever. The criticisms and wishes of MT-07 riders have been heard and implemented. The new MT-07 rides better in every respect, is more stable and makes the spread even wider: both beginners and novices will be able to cope with it, as well as more experienced riders, as it is now a more mature, more potent bike. It has closed the gap to the competition, only in terms of pure engine power it is still 10-20 Horsepower behind the competition. But that's not too bad, as the CP2 engine is still a guarantee for riding pleasure and a wide grin under the helmet. Whether or not you should choose the optional Y-AMT transmission is something you should definitely try out for yourself as part of a test ride - the surcharge for this is humane. Therefore: Big praise to the Yamaha engineers who have significantly upgraded their mega-seller without changing the character of the MT-07. However, Yamaha now has one problem: the residual values of the previous three generations will probably tumble, as the differences to the current generation are noticeably large. And as we all know, the better is the enemy of the good.

Significantly better suspension, especially the fork upgrade was important

charismatic engine that still has a good sound (despite Euro 5+)

driving-orientated, better seating position than the previous models

new electronics (no IMU), good features

optional Y-AMT automatic transmission available

fresh look

many original accessories

Y-AMT still needs some fine-tuning for sports riders

quickshifter only available at extra cost

cruise control only available in conjunction with Y-AMT

on paper still inferior to the competition in terms of engine performance

Despite the rather idiosyncratic combination of the sensible 73.4 hp mid-range power unit and the extremely aggressive, sporty look, the R7 is by no means a sheep in wolf's clothing. The performance, which is somewhere between the R3 and the R6, turned out to be much stronger in practice than the pure values on paper would suggest, and in terms of geometry, chassis, brakes and tyres, Yamaha's engineers have really done their homework. On top of that, the Yamaha R7 has all the qualities to have a lot of fun out-of-the-box on a compact race track like the Pannoniaring, for example, even without a big investment. But of course it feels better on the country road, and that's where it belongs in the first place, in our opinion. In view of the overall package, the purchase price is more than fairly priced - so it's not a problem that the quickshifter is not included and has to be purchased as an option.

high-torque CP2 engine

sporty riding position

suspension set-up

standard tyres

good entry-level trackday bike.

Quickshifter as standard would have been nice
