Yamaha Fz-07
The Yamaha FZ-07 (sold as the MT-07 in most global markets) was introduced in 2014 as a mid-weight naked streetfighter powered by a 689cc parallel-twin engine. It quickly gained a strong following for its excellent power-to-weight ratio, nimble handling, and accessible price point, making it one of the best-selling middleweights in its class. The model received a significant update in 2018 with revised styling and electronics, and has remained a benchmark in the 700cc naked bike segment.
