Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Yamaha MT-07 2016

The MT-07 is an incredible fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch, the handling is superb and the engine is currently by far the most agile powerplant in this class - and even above.

Very agile engine

very easy handling

low weight

aggressively angular look

powerful brakes

comfortable seating position

throaty sound

extensive and easy-to-read display

Chassis a little soft

Footrests soon drag

partly cheap plastic parts

boring telescopic fork
