Yamaha MT-07 launched

Yamaha launched the MT-07 in Milan, a smaller version of its MT-09 that has been praised for its usable performance and fun quotient. The MT-07 follows in its footsteps, being a budget-minded, fun-to-ride machine. Yamaha also had Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi launch a Street Rally version of the MT-09 which gets cosmetic changes as compared to the regular MT-09. The MT-07 borrows the MT-09’s three-pot motor with a reduced capacity of 689cc, producing 75bhp and 68Nm. It uses a slimmer swingarm and a reduced wheelbase of 1400mm, which should make it more fun in the city.
