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
