2022 Yamaha MT-07, 2022 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 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.

• 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.

• Assertive Riding Position

To alleviate any sense of narrowness, the 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.

• Compact Frame Design

The high-strength steel frame provides an optimized balance of rigidity for nimble, agile handling. As a stressed member of the chassis, the engine allows for a lighter, more compact main frame design, contributing to a low wet weight of only 406 lb.

• New LCD Meter

The MT-07 features a new multifunction negative-display LCD dash with a black background and white readouts while RPMS of 10k - 12k are indicated with a red color. Designed specifically for the MT-07's cockpit, the arrangement of the information features a larger display for the clock, current gear, trip/odometers and tachometer. Trip 1, Trip 2 and Trip F, the temperature and other meter functions can be toggled and reset with the left handlebar thumb switch while key displays like the gear indicator are on the right while the tachometer are positioned along the top.

• Next-Generation Design

Joining the 3rd generation MT style - as featured on the MT-09 - the MT-07's new lo
