Yamaha’s MT-07 2025 has landed, taking performance and modern features to the masses with a new look straight from the streetfighter playbook. The MT-07 has become a global best-seller due to its agile handling, strong mid-range performance and excellent value for money – and as per usual, comprehensive updates have been designed to reinforce the weekend ride capabilities of this versatile naked sportster for 2021.
Design and Styling
The Yamaha MT-07 comes into 2025 with an aggressive look from its earlier model, and borrows style cues from Yamaha’s “Dark Side of Japan” design mantra. The aggressive yet lean looking styling features a new LED headlamp, newly designed tank shrouds and minimalistic bodywork.
The upright riding position is good to spend hours in the city or on the highway and knee recesses are well-sculpted for maintaining real control.
In 2025 it will be presented in 3 colour schemes: Icon Blue, Tech Black and Storm Gray — all aggressive colours, increasing the street flavor.
Engine and Performance
Powering the Yamaha MT-07 2025 is, of course, the tried and tested 689cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine which has long been a favourite among riders for its smooth torque output and bulletproof reputation. It is capable of generating a power output of approximately 73.4 PS at 67 Nm, and it is mated to a 6-speed gear box.
A crossplane philosophy ensures an uneven firing order for signature exhaust growl and delivery with torquey character from low rpm.
Tipping the scales at only 184 kg, the MT-07 boasts a great power to weight ratio allowing one to easily manoeuvre it through traffic and create excitement on highway rides. It also delivers impressive fuel efficiency for its class -figures that can be realised in the real world after averaging close to 20-23 kmpl.
Features and Technology
However, Yamaha is making sure the MT-07 2025 will have enough of today’s features to stay in the game. There is also a complete digital 5-inch TFT display, which allows you to pair your Android or iOS smartphone through Bluetooth for call and message alerts.
Other highlights include:
- Headlampail clearance Lamp
- Position indicators with LED lighting system
Further body parts that should provide further resistance to scratching include a front skid plate and sump guard, mud mats and an improved suspension setup that offers better ride comfort and handling.
- Dual-channel ABS for safety
- Slipper clutch for smoother downshifts
- Comfort and Ride Quality
The ergonomics of the MT-07 — an upright handlebar, neutral footpeg placement, tailored seat and ample leg room between the pegs and saddle — add comfort for long rides. The seat height measures a very accessible 805 mm and is friendly for riders of varying heights. Handling is another bright point with the TnT 899, with its sporty balance perfectly fitting into any daily riding to even race-track-style riding..
The bike uses telescopic forks at front and a rear monoshock for suspension duties.
It is stable in corners, being a light car with high grip becasue of 17 inch wide tyres on the low ground clearance and the braking performance isn’t short too with the help of dual front discs again but this time they are 298 mm and at rear there’s a 245 mm disc.
Price and Rivals
The Yamaha MT-07 2025 will be priced very competitively in the Indian market, likely to be priced in the range of ₹7.5 lakh to ₹8 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete against Kawasaki Z650, Honda CB650R and Triumph Trident 660 in its segment.
Final Verdict
The Yamaha MT-07 2025 is a motorcycle with a multitude of uses that combines everyday convenience with sporty performance. Whether you are a daily commuter who enjoys commuting on highways or a riding fanatic looking for an engaging and dependable streetfighter, the MT-07 has got you all covered.
