Notable features of the 2025 Yamaha MT-07
Improved, more aggressive-looking bodywork and reduced lines.
New full-color 5-inch TFT instrument driver
Y-Connect Yamaha Y-Connect smartphone connectivity
The old 689cc parallel-twin powerplant that was more finely tuned
Better ergonomics and comfort of rider
Late 2025 in India
Fortune Entry, Updated and More Luxurious
The Yamaha MT-07 has never disappointed in terms of the design because it can be seen as the massive vehicle with the short size and streetfighter spirit. In 2025, the MT-07 is given minor but significant changes in order to update its visual image without departing too much from what it was.
The front is dominated by a new LED headlamp, which has a new projector system, making it have a sharper and punchier look. The tail lamp and the indicators are likewise LED, which makes the whole lighting design of the car more energy-saving and fashionable.
The fuel tank shrouds and radiator shrouds also have been worked on by Yamaha, and they look sharper and more sculpted. This provides an extra weight to the look of the bike but does not look bulky. The 2025 paint schemes would consist of two-tone and matte generic designs, which would provide more options to the buyers in case of their sense of style.
An infinitesimal revision is done to comfort the rider and pillion. Together with new tank grips and improved handlebar location, the MT-07 2025 is easier to ride in the city and on long trips.
New 5-inch full-color TFT display and Bluetooth
Among the most discussed upgrades of the Yamaha MT-07 in 2025 is the 5-inch full-color TFT instrument console. The difference between this and the last LCD unit is a huge one, as most people felt that the last LCD unit was a dated idea on a bike in this segment.
The new display enables the riders to change between two layout settings: Street and Touring. This layout alters the manner in which information is displayed, and it provides the rider with some freedom to select what is needed depending on the preference.
What is more is that the instrument cluster has implemented Bluetooth connectivity. The users of the riders can connect their smartphones through the Y-Connect app of Yamaha. This allows informing it of the receipt of calls and messages, notifying it about the battery, and even the history of traveling. Even though it does not support turn-by-turn navigation out of the box, it may be present in a future update.
This decision makes the MT-07 more in line with the requirements of the present era, particularly younger and technologically competent consumers.
Engine and Performance: Remake on the Old Heart with a New Tuning
The engine of the Yamaha (the same 689cc parallel-twin that has been powering the MT-07 since its global introduction) remains unchanged. It is a DOHC, liquid-cooled, and well-praised because of its linear power protection, exuberant low-end torque, and dependability.
The engine has been refined for 2025 and increases its responsiveness on the throttle and meets new Euro 5+ emission standards. Although the power and the torque figures are similar to approximate levels (around 73.4 PS and 67 Nm), the riders will experience a smoother acceleration curve, and the engine is more refined in the higher RPM range.
This is because the six-speed transmission is left intact and enjoys a light clutch action and better gear changing. In certain regions of the globe, a quick-shifter is an optional handset with some models as well.
The 184 kg weight and comfortable ergonomics make it one of the most stress-free middleweights to maneuver in cities or on country roads.
Suspension and Braking: Assuring and Consistent
The 2025 version of the MT-07 offered nothing new to the suspension system, as it uses a 41mm telescopic fork in front and a monoshock with preload adjustability at the back, just like the previous model. The suspension is comfortable yet has a fair amount of sportiness, though it cannot be adjusted either in compression or rebound.
The bike has the front twin 298mm discs with dual-piston calipers and a single 245mm disc at the rear linked to the braking. It is fitted with dual-channel ABS. Although it is not a track-oriented braking system, it provides confident, everyday stops and playful canyons.
Most of the world markets have 17-inch alloy wheels shod with Michelin Road 5 tires that provide a good grip on both wet and dry surfaces. Depending on availability, Indian variants can be supplied with different rubber.
Ride Quality and Ergonomics
Ease of ergonomics is one of the factors that have made the MT-07 such a popular bike. Its seat height is a rider-friendly 805 mm, which makes it favorable to shorter riders. The handlebar is broad and slightly elevated, which puts the rider in a command position.
The new fatter seat pad combined with a more comfortable positioning of the foot pegs enhances all-around comfort, particularly when the ride is long. The MT-07 has a fuel tank of 14 liters and a mileage figure of about 2225 km/l, which is considered a good touring range.
There is little wind protection because of all the nakedness, although small flyscreens are an optional extra to make highway life more comfortable.
Features List: What is New in the Year 2025
There is a brief overview of what the Yamaha MT-07 of 2025 will include:
complete LED lighting system
TFT color screen of 5-inch size
Yamaha Y-Connect connectivity to smartphones
USB-C charging (not all-inclusive)
Thin sizes and nimble controls
New graphics and color variants
Add-ons such as quick-shifters, radiator guards, and tank pads are optional.
Although certain high-end features such as the traction control or riding modes remain absent, Yamaha followed a different route with this one and placed the emphasis on straightforward, enjoyable, and relatively budget-friendly.
The Price Hoped To Sell In India
The 2025 MT-07 should go around the USA and Europe with a price of 8,199 to 8,399 dollars (approximately 6.8 lakh to 7 lakh rupees).
In India, Yamaha is supposed to import the MT-07 through the CBU route or the CKD route, and it will be priced between 8.5 lakh and 9 lakh (ex-showroom). It will most likely be launched in the fourth quarter of the year 2025 at the time of holidays.
Yamaha also plans to increase its network of premium dealerships under the Blue Square brand in India, where the MT-07 will probably be sold along with other imported models.
What Are the Competitions of the MT-07 2025?
The Indian middleweight naked sector is becoming more and more competitive. Among the most significant competitors of the Yamaha MT-07 is
Kawasaki Z650: a bit weaker, but cheaper; provides slipper clutch.
Triumph Trident 660: Totally improved electronics and a bit more high-priced, however sophisticated.
Honda CB650R: It is an inline-four engine, more upmarket, yet heavier and more expensive.
Aprilia Tuono 660: It's more sporty and luxurious, and it has a higher price.
Suzuki GSX-8S (coming soon): Updated platform with all modern features.
Of these, the MT-07 addresses a great compromise between usability, performance, and value, especially to riders who seek a small but exciting daily naked motorcycle.
What kind of person should buy the 2025 Yamaha MT-07?
The 2025 MT-07 is suitable in the following:
Riders who have upgraded their bike to a 250cc or 400cc bike
City riders who want a light and torque-weak motorcycle
Weekend riders that do not desire a full-faired sport bike
Riders that like little electronics and more analog riding experience
Enthusiasts who want a no-drama performance machine
It is not the finest long-distance tourer or track day, but as a road bike, short weekend travel, and commuter with sports style, the MT-07 has bragging rights about a hiatus spot.
