A new era of riding with Y-AMT and Cruise Control

Revolutionising the way we ride, Y-AMT creates a whole new riding experience – and MT-07 can be equipped with Y-AMT to experience this new dimension. Choose between manual shifting via a finger-operated see-saw switch, or opt for a fully automatic transmission when you need to. Y-AMT works in perfect harmony with Yamaha Ride Control (YRC)’s electronic features, while cruise control further reduces effort for relaxed highway riding. *Cruise Control only available on the MT-07 Y-AMT

All-new minimalist styling

MT-07 gets a new stripped-back look with a distinctive ‘face’ from the minimalist LED headlight unit, straight from the Dark Side of Japan. 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.

Electronic throttle, YRC riding modes and switchable TCS

Acoustic amplifying technology
