Overview

The Yamaha MT 07 Moto Cage is a naked motorcycle from the MT family, produced from 2015 to 2017. The 2017 model has a 689 cm³ liquid-cooled parallel-twin four-stroke engine producing 74 hp (55 kW) and 68 Nm of torque at 6,900 rpm; its wet weight is 179 kg.

The 3.9-second 0–100 km/h time points to brisk acceleration. Fuel consumption is 4.3 liters/100 km, and the 14-liter tank gives a calculated range of about 326 km. The 805 mm seat height may make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet down, while the 179 kg wet weight is relevant when maneuvering at low speed; ABS is fitted to both front and rear brakes.

Estimated ground reach

Both feet likely flat

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
