Yamaha has just launched the new MT-07 2025, bringing updates that finally meet the long-awaited expectations of fans.
The new version of this mid-sized motorcycle comes with significant suspension improvements, correcting the known instability of previous generations and offering a sportier riding experience.
In addition, Yamaha has integrated advanced technology including electronic throttle, riding modes, and adjustable traction control, bringing the MT-07 closer to the larger models of the brand. The 689 cc engine, a parallel twin with a 270-degree crankshaft, remains virtually the same, being one of the most praised features of the MT-07 since its launch.

Now, Yamaha offers the option of an automatic Y-AMT transmission with electronic cruise control, but also retains the traditional six-speed manual transmission, maintaining the popularity of the bike among riders who value performance and adrenaline.
Despite these improvements, some enthusiasts question whether the new technologies might soften the “raw” essence that has always been one of the MT-07’s biggest attractions. Previously analog and demanding, the bike now provides a more “secure” experience that could make life easier for new riders but also risks alienating those who enjoyed the challenge and skill development.
