Yamaha MT-07 / FZ07

Note: FZ-07 is the MT-07 in Europe.

The ultimate sportbike for just over $7K, the FZ®-07 offers huge thrills and fun in a value packed light weight and nimble package -- now available with ABS brakes.
The FZ-07 is a motorcycle that brings fun, affordability and riding enjoyment back to the street. This versatile naked roadster offers deep engine torque and a comfortable riding position in a lightweight, easy to handle sports chassis. It's the perfect machine for both new and experienced riders alike who are looking for outstanding value.

Power

Liquid-cooled, 689cc, inline twin has been designed to provide deep, powerful torque in the most frequently used rpm range (3,000 to 6,500 rpm). A single balancer shaft keeps things silky smooth, while the 6-speed transmission with overdrive 6th gear reduces engine rpms at highway speeds.

Brakes

The addition of ABS to the dual 282 mm disc, 4 piston caliper up front and 245 mm disc, single piston caliper in the rear gives you piece of mind while braking under pressure or in wet conditions.

Style

From the compact "diamond type" frame to the single 60/55 watt headlight to the naked roadster bodywork, the FZ-07 is super lightweight and the conventional handlebar design and upright riding position translates into all day riding comfort.

The MT-07 is designed to bring fun, affordability and enjoyment back to the street. And just about everything about this versatile naked bike - from its deep torque through to the agile chassis and outstanding economy - make it hard to resist for both newer and experienced riders.

The 689cc inline 2-cylinder engine benefits from our special 'crossplane philosophy' which enables it to develop linear torque for outstanding acceleration. And the MT-07 is also equipped with a compact and lightweight chassis for remarkable agility and easy handling.

MT-07 from Yamaha. There's never been a better reason to rise up and ride.
