2014 Yamaha MT-07 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2014 Yamaha MT-07 naked motorcycle, Yamaha relies on a 689 cc (42 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 47.3 HP (34.5 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 87.5 Nm (64.5 lb-ft) at 8,900 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 68.7 HP per liter and a 1,100 rpm working window between peak torque (8,900 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the MT-07 measures 188 kg (414 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (3.97 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
