New 2025 Yamaha MT-07 & Y-AMT Announced: 13 Things To Know!

[@rebellucy6200]

The MT07 is the best bike I have ever owned. Glad to see the updates.

Not owned many huh? :) Might be good now, could even compare to the GSX-8S

[@xsr_dirt]

Tracer 7 has been a huge flop in Australia. Barely ever see any on the road.

[@SomewhereInside]

@@xsr_dirtAgree because to be honest I bought a Versys 650👌and didn’t even know a Tracer 7 existed , they are going for around $13000 new much less for demos . Non lams and the black looks cool .

[@stuartstogdill2406]

Legendary? Not even remotely true.

[@brinkzymoto]

Lotta great updates. Turn by turn nav, lighter wheels, better brakes, USD forks, screen looks great. With the CP2 engine. These should sell well

[@LowQualityPigeon]

I know a lot of people hate this new amt trend that's going on but it is really useful for people who are physically impaired. My friend only uses scooters because he cant shift with his foot. Im sure he will be happy to see this bike having amt feature. And good thing is yamaha has given us option to choose from which is a nice thing.

[@hiddendragon415]

I'm not impaired and would love the AMT. People scoff at Quick Shifters but these aids let you focus more on what important. I'd love a MT09 SP Y-AMT.

[@amococ2487]

I have no idea why people hate on it. It's optional. It's not like they are forcing people to have it on their bike

[@Atmaspeaks]

People don't hate automatics but I wish Yamaha had done it the Honda way. Honda's E-clutch is the same system but keeps the clutch lever for manual shifting instead of those stupid switches. Removing the clutch is equivalent to removing the joy of motorcycle life.

[@electricarrow8903]

[@avothfis]

​@@amococ2487Exactly.

[@p10dc]

I like everything I see except the lower bars, the "supermoto-like" riding position of my old one is great.

Nice, might have to chop my one year old 07 in for this. Great updates all round, love the grey version. Cheers Bob

[@SimonRiley752]

If it gets more people on two wheels, I'm all for it. Ride your own ride. I love the updated styling and the Y-AMT. Looking forward to seeing it on this side of the pond.

[@NicholasNormile]

With how common quickshifters are now, if you can't handle a clutch lever for literally just first gear then I don't think motorcycling is a good idea.

[@Hondadctrider]

​@@NicholasNormileSo people like me, with a disability on my left hand, shouldn't be riding a motorbike? I ride a Honda NC750X DCT because I am unable to use a clutch. Now Yamaha have given me another choice in what I can ride.

[@-Eternal-Damnation-]

Wow! It actually looks great! Loving the new headlight design

[@GunnerLinus01]

Good news that one of the big four Japanese manufacturers has finally made cruise control available in their middleweight platform. I expect this will soon follow in a revised Tracer-7 and maybe the Tenere, which should shake up Honda to include it on the Transalp and 750 siblings, Suzuki on the V-Strom 800 and GSX8R/S, and perhaps Kawasaki on their 650 range (although I can see Kawaski increasing displacement for this range). Aprillia seems to have led the way with the Tuareg 660, then with Triumph launching a new Tiger 800 a couple of days ago (with cruise as standard), this all helps pile pressure on the rest to make cruise control available on more affordable bikes. With so many average speed traps around, this feature is becoming essential.

[@Vis_Maior]

My thoughts exactly. Cruise control should be a given on any mid-range or top-range touring/sport touring bike.

[@MidweightMentality]

I considered the '24 when getting my first bike but decided against it because it did feel a little dated and I hated the look of the huge dash sticking back towards the rider. This update fixes pretty much every gripe I had with that bike and modernizes it a lot so I would absolutely consider it now. Should be under $12k here in Canada, a great deal especially considering the weight. Aftermarket exhaust, tail tidy, bar end mirrors should all cut the weight down too to sub-400lbs which is really impressive. Good job Yamaha!

[@tomraptile804]

What did you end up buying?

[@MidweightMentality]

@@tomraptile804 I ended up getting a 2024 R3. Really happy I did because I'm convinced I would have killed myself if I got something more powerful. It has been a great bike; I put 4000km on it during the summer but I'm planning on trading it in for a MT07 when the 2025 is in dealerships next year.

[@JoeButler02]

Well I think this is the one I'm moving up to from my mt03

[@hellothere4342]

This is a well needed update to the very popular MT07. Looks is subjective anyway. But overall, this was well overdue.

[@CoolArt81]

Love seeing these bikes evolving on the tech side of things. Especially the MT07.

[@dashuntas.m4045]

The front end does look badass!

[@964cuplove]

That’s Töne wrong way around then ?!

[@santyclause8034]

The looks would improve a lot more with another three of those main beam lamps beside that lonely pinprick.

[@kloppskalli]

I just started to like the old cyclops front mask - looks much more badass to me but I guess the new unit wins the popular vote

Well, it is a little better looking.

[@phammanh2689]

Little? :)) this thing is 100x better than the old mt 07 :))

[@NeoMoto]

This update is impressive! Will surely make content for this when it arrives in the Philippines.

[@richardwarsinske7064]

As long as the ride by wire doesn't change the lovely character of the CP2 engine other changes should make this a hit and possible purchase for me! Considerably lighter weight + the intake treatment should address my only two complaints with my current GSX 8S. Much better overall value than previous versions as long as the price doesn't change too much!

[@HonestKeyboard1771]

as an owner for a 2020 xsr700, this looks like a great valued mt07. I'm hopeful some of these changes make their way to the xsr line up.

[@paultanton4307]

FB chat suggests that the XSR700 will be discontinued from the line up sadly.

[@jeremywinfield470]

Hi Bob. FYI Australian Yamaha website has price listed at $14,899 AUD to give you a possible price in UK.

I believe that a lot of bike models should have an SP version for a more premium form, feel, and function. Not least the MT07. I have said this of the Honda 750 hornet, also.

[@spartanx169x]

The MT07 needs about 10 more hp if they did that an SP would make sense

[@dashuntas.m4045]

@@davidmallia628 They probably crunched the numbers and realized it might not be worth it for that class of bikes especially since Yamaha have the MT09/10. A 750 Hornet SP does make a lot of sense though since you’d have to jump to the 1000r/hornet for more power, parts and tech.

can´t wait for the new Tenere with these updates ... ride by wire means cruise control (finally) and the optional auto shift ... that will be a game changer for mid size adv bikes

[@johnmalou6100]

Tracer 7 will be best seller with these upgrades especially a middle weight class bike with an automatic gearbox

[@azuckentupac2704]

I was thinking about going to buy a brand new Yamaha MT-07 for the past week, now this video comes out??? that thing looks absolutely brilliant! curious what the acoustics will do that feed engine noise to the top of the tank, think it'll be more of a gimmick but who knows? gonna have to do a test ride to figure if I want the Y-AMT transmission or the manual with quick shifter. Cruise control sure is handy for the 'longer hauls' so that benefit goes to the Y-AMT. very curious! did see a horsepower figure of 73 on yamaha's website though... but we shall see!

[@chrishart8548]

Thank God it has the USD forks all the MT-07 owners said it never needed

[@DouglasRosser]

Yamaha probably isn't positioning this new model at folks who already have an MT-07. If you're looking at the old model compared to its peers, it was less desirable.

[@jls.mp4]

Zero mt07 owners have said it doesn't need usd forks lmao stop making stuff up just to make a comment.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Many owners don't know the difference between good suspension and a hole in the ground.

[@chrishart8548]

@exothermal.sprocket they were always defending the rubbish suspension though it definitely bottoms out for a pastime the front forks were garbage. The engine was great though

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@chrishart8548 The right-side-up forks were structurally fine. What wasn't fine was the too-long spring spacer installed in the fork top, and the general too-low spring rate, and the too-lax compression damping. All of that had good fixes in the aftermarket but it doesn't make the OEM setup that great, or as capable as it could have been with better parts choices. I'm about 190 rider, the suspension wasn't set up for someone of my weight. I hope the 2025 redo is much more cohesive. For a contrast, Suzuki seems to have a better knack at making basic components work really well as a system. I can't say for sure as I don't have access to part numbers on the 2025 stuff, but Yamaha might have just used the R7 forks on this update, with spring rates suitable for the MT. We'll have to wait and see.

[@WestOzMT]

Love my MT-07 such a fun bike.

[@polluxjamtracks]

Finally! Good job Yamaha.

[@hiddendragon415]

MT07 can be a entry level bike and AMT could be a big plus for new riders.

[@MotoRiderTube]

That Ice Storm color is too close to Suzuki's GSX-8 color. Otherwise good updates, would be a killer with 10 extra hp.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Yamaha is likely to stick with the 650-690 class. If they wanted to put out a 750, it would be another class.

[@tejp8318]

Internally these colours are decided around 3 years in advance by the cmf team.

[@shivamarya5225]

Its a good thing new Suzukis have really nice paints, it really pops and sparkles, like the gsx 1000gt, one of the highest quality paints in the industry

[@hex_surfer4588]

Every bike would be better with 10 extra HP😁

[@The.JZA.]

Wow, that is a significant upgrade and they did a tonne of things that the MT07 desperately needed like the suspension and chassis upgrade. They also did a lot of things that I wanted Honda to do with the CB650R. I still prefer the CB650R at its core but man, I wish Honda gave us a RBW throttle with up/down QS and cruise controls instead of that e-clutch. I know a lot of people love the e-clutch but I’m old school. I want to ride a manual motorcycle not an automatic. I hope Honda wakes up and gives us a better upgrade to the CB650R in a year or two. Gotta wonder what the managers at Honda are thinking. They missed the mark so badly.

Funny, I just bought a CF Moto clx 700 , it has fully adjustable suspension, usd forks, you can even turn the abs off, 74bhp , brand new 2024 bike and I paid less than 5 grand , and it's a bloody good bike .

Hope they got the ride by wire throttle right. I dont care for ride modes, TC is a nice safety bonus for crossing train tracks in the wet but otherwise meh at this power, but i was really looking forward to an MT07 with autoblipper! Now all that's missing is cruise control on the non-amt :D
