Alternative versions of the Yamaha M T07

In addition to the standard version, there are some alternative versions of the MT 07 that have been designed for other markets. First, a version of the MT 07 was produced for the Australian market which had a 655cc engine. This slightly weaker engine was made to appeal to novice motorcyclists who may still be learning to ride and who would rather have a more manageable level of power to contend with. If an eBay listing mentions an MT 07 with a 655cc engine, that bike is the Australian version. Secondly, a North American version of the bike was made called the FZ07. This version retains the same features as the MT 07. This alternative name only remained until 2017, however. In 2017, even the North American version of the bike came to be called the MT 07.

What should you remember when buying a used MT 07?

When searching the eBay listings for a Yamaha MT 07, here are a few things to remember:

  • In general, bikes with lower mileage or bikes from newer model years will be more expensive than bikes with higher mileage or from older model years.
  • Some listings may feature upgraded versions of the bike with additional features like anti-lock brakes or a more powerful or more efficient engine. Such versions will generally be more expensive than those without upgrades.
