- Its 680cc parallel-twin engine now complies with Euro5/BS6 norms.
- Performance has taken a minor dip.
- Gains 1.3kg of weight.
The Yamaha MT-07 has made its debut overseas following the unveiling of the 2021 MT-09. It carries over Yamaha’s new MT design language, which in our opinion could have been done more tastefully. Nevertheless, it gets a new LED headlight flanked by LED DRLs, a new tail light design and LED turn indicators. The fuel tank design along with the rear quarter panels have been redesigned as well, giving it a sportier look.
The instrument console is all new as well; however, it’s still an LCD unit and not a TFT screen. At the heart lies the same 680cc parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crank, retuned to comply with Euro5/BS6 emission norms. The strict emission regulations have led to a performance drop which means the 2021 MT-07 makes 1.4PS and 1Nm less than its predecessor. Power figures now stand at 73.4PS and 67Nm. Having said that, Yamaha claims the engine has been tuned to deliver its power in a more linear fashion, making it more usable.

Not much has changed in terms of hardware either. The 2021 Yamaha MT-07 carries forward the same diamond frame as before. Same goes for the suspension setup -- a telescopic fork and a monoshock. The only difference between the old and new model are the brakes. The 2021 model comes equipped with a larger 298mm disc brakes up front, instead of the old 282mm units. There's also a change in tyres, the new bike uses grippier Michelin Road 5 rubber. While that's good news, the changes on the bike have led to a weight gain of 1.3kg. It now tips the scale at 184kg kerb. The seat though is fairly accessible at 805mm. Wider 32mm handlebars should offer better leverage while turning into corners.
So how much does the 2021 Yamaha MT-07 cost? Well, it's priced at $7,700 (Rs 5.45 lakh) in Europe. Deliveries for the bike are expected to commence from March 2021. It's highly unlikely to make its way to India. However, if Yamaha does bring the MT-07 to India with a competitive price tag, it could take on the likes of the Kawasaki Z650 and the upcoming Triumph Trident.

- Best BikeThinking back to 2014 when I bought my MT-07, it was a bit of a risk buying a new model with a new engine. It was going to be my only transport and had to do everything, including a 40-mile each-way commute. It turned out to be one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It took everything I threw at it over the past five years; hooning around gridlocked city centres, touring, larking about country lanes, and blasting down A-roads and dual carriageways. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, but I’ve even ridden it through fields and off-road a bit. I’ve had bigger and faster bikes, but I’ve never had anything so versatile or that’s given me so much fun. I fucking love that bike.Read More
