MT-07 2024

The 2024 Yamaha MT-07 is one of those rare bikes that makes any journey, no matter how short, worthwhile. Its 689cc CP2 twin-cylinder engine with 73 horsepower is a masterpiece of engineering: explosive at low and mid RPMs, linear, predictable, and addictive. At 184 kg wet, it is one of the lightest naked bikes in its category, making it exceptional in city and twisty roads.

The CP2 Engine: The MT-07's Secret

Yamaha's Crossplane Concept (CP2) technology offsets the cylinders 270° instead of the conventional 180°. The result is a throttle response that feels more organic, with torque pulses that emulate the character of a V-Twin without excessive vibration. At 3,000-6,000 RPM the torque is enormous for the engine size (68 Nm) — perfect for quick city exits without needing to rev hard.

Lightness as a Weapon

At 184 kg wet, the MT-07 is 20-30 kg lighter than many rivals. That weight is immediately noticeable: parking maneuvers are simple, direction changes in corners are agile and immediate, and in dense traffic the bike moves with an ease few in its class can match.

Who is the 2024 MT-07 for?

For urban riders who want daily fun without sacrificing practicality. For riders who want their first medium-displacement bike with a genuinely entertaining engine. For those who spend a lot of time in city traffic and want something that is not a burden between traffic lights.
