Yamaha MT-07

Description

Built in 2015 and registered on a 15 plate it has covered 7,682 miles, finished in silver.

What a surprise the MT-07 is. It’s light, friendly, punchy, fast, frugal and more fun than it has a right to be.

We reckon for everyday use and shorter-distance riding it’s actually better than the bigger, more expensive, Yamaha MT-09.

It’s such a superb performer and well built, the MT-07 would still knock us sideways if it was a grand more expensive.

And all this from a manufacturer that almost priced its products out of the market just a few years previous…

This version of the Yamaha MT-07 was replaced in 2018.
