New 2021 Yamaha MT-07 Standard Motorcycle

2021 Yamaha MT-07, 2021 Yamaha MT-07 DARK ATTRACTION

Featuring a distinctive next generation look and features, as well as an advanced twin-cylinder engine, experience the best balance of performance and value the Dark Side has to offer.

Features may include:

• Advanced Twin-Cylinder Engine

The 2021 MT-07 features an updated, compact 689cc liquid-cooled, inline twin cylinder, DOHC engine with fuel injection. The unique power character of the engine provides outstanding low- to mid-range torque with a linear throttle response and strong high-rpm pulling power. Maximizing riding excitement in the real world, the engine maintains the same level of response due to its intake air duct design, exhaust system specs – now integrated 2-into-1 exhaust pipes and muffler – and updated ECU specs. The fuel injection settings were also optimized to bring refinements to the engine’s linear response characteristics while the throttle is slightly open at low rpm. Other updates include new valve seats with excellent abrasion resistance for the exhaust side, improved gearshift feel thanks to different cut angles for the dog gears, and repositioning for the catalytic converter – now closer to the headers – and oxygen sensor.

• Assertive Riding Position

To alleviate any sense of narrowness, the 2021 MT-07 features a new tapered handlebar that is 32mm wider and 19mm taller and offers improved feelings of control and comfort for a wider range of rider sizes.

ENGINE

• Crossplane Crankshaft Concept

The two-cylinder engine features Yamaha’s Crossplane Crankshaft Concept 270- degree crank that provides linear torque development in response to the rider’s throttle input. Offering excellent rider-machine communication, the CP2® engine is also light, slim and compact.

• Compact Stacked Transmission

The six-speed transmission “stacks” the input/output shafts in a triangular layout. Keeping the overall engine size shorter from front-to-back, the placement in the frame is optimized for outstanding weight balance. The transmission ratios bring out the best of the low- to mid-speed torque with excellent response characteristics to reduce the need for frequent shifts.

• Midship Exhaust System

By placing the muffler low in the frame and as close to the center of the machine as possible, the bike’s mass is centralized for improved all around handling. The 2021 MT-07 also features a new exhaust system with integrated 2-into-1 exhaust pipes and muffler.
