Positioned in Yamaha's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2025 Yamaha MT-07LA pairs a 655 cc (40 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 78.0 x 68.6 mm (3.1 x 2.7 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the MT-07LA measures 183 kg (403 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,395 mm (54.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
