2026 Yamaha YZF R7

2026 Yamaha MT-07

The new 2025 MT-07 is the highest specification yet, including new radially mounted front brake calipers, 41 mm inverted forks, lightweight SpinForged wheels and striking next-generation MT styling.

Features may include:

• Advanced Twin-Cylinder DOHC Engine

The MT-07 features the renowned 689cc liquid-cooled, inline twin cylinder CP2 engine with fuel injection. The fun and characterful CP2 provides both outstanding low- to mid-range torque and strong high-RPM pulling power. Adding to the visceral connection between rider and machine, the MT-07 also features Acoustic Amplifying Technology which harnesses the CP2's induction roar, channeling it to the rider for an enhanced engine soundtrack and feeling of acceleration.

• Next-Generation Electronic Rider Aids

The advanced Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) contributes to a more linear power delivery and greater connection between rider and machine, while enabling next-generation electronic aids including Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) with three available throttle maps and switchable Traction Control. YRC includes two quick-select preset modes (SPORT and STREET) along with a customizable YRC mode allowing the rider to match their preferred power delivery to their preferred level of Traction Control.

• Highly Responsive KYB® Adjustable Suspension

An inverted 41mm KYB® front fork offers high levels of control and a planted front-end feel when cornering and braking, all while providing the MT-07 with a more modern look. The linked-type monocross KYB® rear shock is optimized to match the rigidity of the front fork, creating a more sporting ride.

• Radially Mounted Front Brakes

Providing next-level stopping power, the 2026 MT-07 features large twin discs gripped by radially mounted 4-piston brake calipers. The design facilitates strong and consistent braking performance thanks to the increased rigidity, which ensures forces are equally distributed during hard braking.

• Five-Inch TFT Display with Smartphone Connectivity

Riders can link their smartphone to the MT-07's rich, full-color TFT display via Yamaha's free Y-Connect app. Functionality includes the ability to receive message notifications, calls and listen to music (through use of an aftermarket Bluetooth® headset, not provided). Additionally, full turn-by-turn navigation is available through the Garmin® StreetCross app to make each journey easier.

• Minimalist Next-Generation MT Styling

Stripped-back next-generation styling with a minimalist LED headlight unit creates a striking face clearly inspired by the Dark Side of Japan's distinctively modern styling aesthetic. With engineering and styling in perfect harmony, nothing is added to the MT-07 unless it truly enhances the riding experience. The result is a motorcycle which connects to its rider in a way few others can match.
