Rating: 8.5 (1 reviews)

De Yamaha MT-07 werd in 2014 geïntroduceerd als een middengewicht naked roadster, gebouwd rond een 689cc parallel-twin-motor, ontworpen om een toegankelijke maar boeiende rijervaring te bieden. Het werd al snel een van de best verkochte motorfietsen in Europa dankzij het lichte chassis, het sterke koppel in het middenbereik en de betaalbare prijs. In 2021 kwam er een belangrijke update met een herzien frame, een nieuwe carrosserie geïnspireerd op de MT-09 en vernieuwde elektronica, waaronder een quickshifter-optie.

Wat kopers moeten weten

🔧

Proven Reliable Engine

The 689cc CP2 parallel-twin engine is shared with several Yamaha models and has an outstanding reliability record with minimal reported failures. Regular valve checks at 26,600 miles are the main maintenance item to budget for.

⚠️

Watch for These Issues

Early models (2014-2017) had reports of a stiff or notchy gearbox, particularly in cold conditions — test the gearbox before buying used. Some owners also report a slightly harsh throttle response at low speeds, though this is easily improved with a tune.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The MT-07 holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, typically retaining 70-75% of its value after two years due to consistent high demand. Its popularity also means parts and qualified mechanics are easy to find.

"The best value middleweight naked money can currently buy used."

$4,500-$7,500 used

The MT-07 is one of those rare bikes that punches well above its price point, and the used market makes it an absolute steal. Yamaha's CP2 parallel-twin is genuinely brilliant — torquey from practically idle, smooth through the midrange, and it'll spin to the redline without complaint. The chassis is light and flickable in a way that makes experienced riders grin and beginners feel immediately capable. It's not fast in a straight line by modern standards, but you'll rarely notice. On used examples, check the subframe area around the grab handles — owners drop these things in car parks constantly, and that's your first damage indicator. Clutch slave cylinders can weep fluid on higher-mileage units, and the stock suspension is soft enough that previous owners may have fitted aftermarket units, which is actually a bonus. Chain and sprocket wear is worth scrutinising; these bikes get ridden hard. Avoid anything with crash damage repaired cheaply, and budget for bar-end mirrors because the stock ones vibrate into uselessness around 6,000rpm.
