Yamaha MT-07 (2014 onwards)
The Yamaha MT-07 is a refined bike with a “strong, linear torque” engine.
It has been engineered to give you the best that a bike can offer, in Yamaha’s new naked look, which Yamaha says was inspired by the Dark Side of Japan.
The MT-07 has become hugely popular with riders throughout Europe, and it has become very attractive to A2 license holders, as with a restrictor, it can be ridden on an A2 license.
The A2 license allows you to ride bikes that produce no more than 35 kW of power (roughly 47 bhp), or a more powerful bike if you restrict it (but by no more than 50%). For more information about the A2, go to our A2 license page.
Fortunately, the Yamaha MT-07 produces 55 kW / 74 bhp of power, meaning that if you use a restrictor kit to cut the power by 36%, you will be able to ride the Yamaha MT-07 on your A2 motorcycle license.
The MT-07’s 689cc engine produces plenty of power, which can propel the bike up to a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h).
Where practicality is concerned, the Yamaha MT-07’s fuel efficiency of 65 mpg (imperial) will take you 207 miles on the MT-07’s 14 litre tank.
Overall, Yamaha MT-07 is refined, agile, lightweight and provides you with plenty of speed. Most importantly, this bike can be ridden on an A2 license AND has a lower price tag than many other bikes in the same class.
You will need a restrictor to ride the Yamaha MT-07 on an A2 license. See the Yamaha MT-07 specifications table for restriction info, and the restrictor kits section to see what restrictors are available for the Yamaha MT-07.
