Boasting a brand new, 689cc, parallel twin, a lightweight chassis and a tempting price, the £5199 Yamaha MT-07 is exciting news for newbies, commuters and even experienced riders.

MCN travelled to Lanzarote to the world launch and discover it’s even better than we had imagined.

Justus Raw says:

can someone tell me what helmet the girl was wearing ????? thanks in
advance

The Gentleman Biker says:

That looks terrific, great stance about it. Good sound on the video too MCN
and thank you for lowering the music volume so we can hear the bike!

Daniel Regis says:

Great Bike. I was thinking about to get a XT660 because a love motards, but
it’s too old and It’s fuel efficient is really bad. Now I have something.

Lukas Schulin says:

No it’s not a parallel twin, it’s a 2 cylinder straight with 270 degree
crank shaft. Meaning that the two pistons do not move together like in the
much borring Kawasaki er6n engine does. 

The Northern Vlogger says:

Thanks for sorting sound out.

urbanfireblade says:

Lol, was that it?????

Motorcycle Extremist says:

If I buy one will the beautiful girl join me for an adventure tour? :P

Matt Helps says:

Test rode this today. Fast light and lot of fun. Going to be seriously
considering getting one of these. Rode the big brother too, Fz-09, stupid
power never got it out of 4th gear in std mode doing 150 km/h.

RayneFZ07 says:

Kind of a short video and hastily done. No real review here

Michael Rickards says:

Not much of a review. 

CosworthsMerryMen says:

I like the helmet.

MissMan666 says:

Mt 07 Rocks – MCN Sucks

Roze TheHornet says:

What’s a better all rounder in your opinion, MT-07 or MT-09?

Izzat SE says:

Hi I’m 6’3 (190 cm), 192 lbs (87 kg). My concern is that I might be tall
tall for the bike what do you guys think?

josh godber says:

It’s not a parallel twin….

Jimo368 says:

That be a great engine for a 700 Tenere. 

nismozx6r says:

We want this in America… For $5k or less. Otherwise FAIL. ALL BIKES ARE
OVERPRICED. ENJOY THE SALES SLUMP. THATS WHAT YOU DESERVE FOR BEING GREEDY.
R6 should be $6k R1 $10k. We want more for our money. Yamaha still hasn’t
put a fuel gauge & gear indicator on all their bikes. Now we want abs
standard. Do it or you will have no sales.

TheChinaRider ! says:

what song is this!?

mike schlup says:

looks like an NC 700x fighter.!

Mario R.J. Corbin says:

Nice bike. What helmet is the woman wearing in the video? The FZ has always
been an interesting model but this is the first time I actually have to
admit it is very attractive.

Serge Go says:

2013 MT-07 or 2013 Triumph Street Triple for a sensible beginner rider
above average hight and weight?

Fabio Patta says:

Can you suggest it for unexperienced riders? I just complete my das licence
and i looking for a good bike and fun to ride.
My options are this Yamaha
Or triumph street triple 09
Ktm duke 690 (which I used for the licence) and my personal dream
Suzuki gsx-r 600 k9



johnhalloran1234 says:

I want one like the look and the simplicity 

Shane Crowley says:

No negatives, interesting sounds too good to be true.

Gloomshadow100 says:

Not a bad looking bike.. not ‘Merican though. Hey Brits, sending Piers
Morgan back your way… thanks but no thanks.

Steve WK says:

Versys killer!
Great bike Yamaha :)

YZF 125 Rider says:

Great video!
How would it do compared to duke 690? Seems like those two are in the same
category? Are they both equaly as fun?

CaptHollister says:

All you guys congratulating MCN for the quality of the vid realize that
nearly all of it is just Michael Neeves voice dubbed over stock Yamaha
footage, right ? 

shin888 says:

Bring it to america!!!!!

turbo311 says:

Need this in US!

Lorenzo Marrali says:

hi! nice review.. could you tell please the brand and model of the helmets
used in this video? would be much appreciated I’ve been looking for them
for a while now. thank you.

John Grijalva says:

Hmmm KTM 390 or this bike that’s if it ever comes to America 

Anders Eriksson says:

Thank you for a good first ride report.

CosmikDebriis says:

Come on MCN what we really need is a five grand twins shootout with the
ER6,and the CBR500R . My money’s on the Yam though ;-)

Motolook Di Fermo Michele says:

bella, possibile, semplice, divertente: l’essenza della moto!

josepca89 says:

great sound neves, excellent vid thks

Marciaus007 says:

Thumbs up for Windows Movie Maker!

RyuHayabusa1989 says:

Amazing bike =) like the elegant sleek sharp design that Yamaha always
stick too 

Peter O'Connell says:

Don’t say it too loud about it being so cheap. Yammy will bump the price
up!

CountryLifeChannel says:

looks like an advert, another paid for editorial ?

colonelclaw says:

Bloody hell it looks good. Really looking forward to the touring versions
of the MT-07 and MT-09

nismofury says:

It’s coming to America midsummer with the 6990 price tag. But with dealer
BS add ons you’re looking at about $9k which is total BS should be $6990
with ABS out the door that’s what we want you want to revitalize the market
don’t be greedy Yamaha instruct dealerships not to add on bullshit charges.
$6990 otd & im buying it today w/o any thought. Any more & I have to think
about it. What else can I spend my money on….

Josefa García says:

the logical bike to my eyes…how tall do I need to be to ride this bike
properlly?

Ray Zeed Eyebrow says:

The CB650F/CBR650 is SO toast.

Matt Owen says:

Great video in beautiful Lanzarote

phoenix1925 says:

can you compaire it to the er6n? which is better overal?
brakes,suspension,engine and handling?which is most fun? thx.

JoeRUGBY10 says:

My triumph Speed four is 170kg with 100bhp, better , brakes, suspension etc
etc and was 2k where is my extra 3k going with this bike?

Foxy Moto says:

Very impressive wet weight, makes the ER6 and SFV seem morbidly obese.
