Along with Updates to the MT-03, Ténéré 700, XSR900 and TRACER 9

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA, is announcing its remaining 2025 motorcycle lineup with the spotlight falling on the latest edition from The Dark Side of Japan, the all-new 2025 Yamaha MT-07 with next-generation ‘Master of Torque’ Hyper Naked styling and a range of performance and technological enhancements designed to broaden its appeal for a wider range of riders. Also new for 2025 are revisions to the new MT-03 along with extensive updates to Yamaha’s celebrated Ténéré 700 Adventure bike, the class-leading XSR900 Sport Heritage model and the ultra-capable TRACER 9 Sport Tourer.

 

2025 MT-07

Famed for its light weight, agile handling and torquey CP2 engine, the all-new 2025 MT-07 takes a step up in specification with a striking new look, extensive chassis updates including a new USD fork and radially mounted brake calipers, along with a host of technological advances aimed at elevating the Dark Side of Japan attitude to the next level.

 

All-New Minimalist Styling

The 2025 MT-07 gets an all-new stripped-back look with a minimalist LED headlight unit creating the striking new "face" and bringing it more in line with the next-generation MT styling of its MT-09 sibling. There is also a new, slimmer tank design, updated side covers, tail section and seat assembly that enhance ergonomics along with the fresh new look.

 

New YCC-T, YRC Riding Modes & Switchable TCS

A new Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) contributes to more linear power delivery and improved connection between rider and machine, while also enabling a new generation of 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 CUSTOM mode allowing the rider to match their preferred power delivery to their preferred level of Traction Control.

 

Acoustic Amplifying Technology

Contributing to the visceral connection between rider and machine, the new MT-07 now features a sound amplification system to harness the bike's induction roar and channel it to the rider for a more thrilling engine note and enhanced feeling of acceleration.

 

New Assist & Slipper Clutch

A new Assist & Slipper (A&S) clutch utilizes an assist cam and slipper cam to help inhibit excessive engine braking for a smooth, easy-to-handle feeling during downshifts while also reducing the amount of force required to pull the clutch lever for less hand fatigue. The shape of the clutch lever has also been optimized for enhanced feel.

 

Highly Responsive KYB® Suspension

A new inverted 41mm KYB® front fork offers high levels of control and a planted front-end feel when cornering and braking. The linked-type monocross KYB® rear shock is optimized to match the rigidity of the new front fork, creating a more sporting ride.

 

New Radially Mounted Front Brakes

Providing next-level stopping power, the 2025 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, ensuring forces are equally distributed during hard braking.

 

Lightweight SpinForged Wheels

Contributing to a lighter and more agile MT-07, the wheels are manufactured using Yamaha’s patented SpinForged technology. This allows for a thinner and lighter casting, without compromising strength.

 

New Five-Inch TFT & Enhanced Connectivity

A new five-inch full-color TFT instrument display features four selectable themes. Also for 2025, smartphone connectivity is enhanced allowing riders to make and receive calls, listen to music and access full turn-by-turn navigation available through the Garmin® StreetCross app.

 

New Switchgear & Self-Cancelling Indicators

Yamaha’s next-generation handlebar switch assembly enables operation of the MT-07's wider range of functions viewable on the new TFT display. New turn signal functions further enhance the riding experience with a soft click of the indicator activating a three-flash signal while a full click flashes continuously. Turn signals also self-cancel after 15 seconds and once the bike has travelled for more than 500 feet.
