2019 Yamaha MT-07 in Malaysia – RM38,288

2019 Yamaha MT-07 in Malaysia – RM38,288

Updated for next year’s riding season is the 2019 Yamaha MT-07 naked sports and priced at RM38,288. Dubbed “Dark Attraction”, the MT-07 is Yamaha’s middleweight bike and goes up against the Kawasaki Z650 at approximately RM35,609.

More of a model update than a completely new machine, the MT-07 still carries the same 689 cc DOHC parallel-twin Crossplane liquid-cooled power plant. Fed by EFI, the mill is good for 73.7 hp at 9,000 rpm and 68 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm.

Power, as is customary, gets to the ground via a six-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Tw-channel ABS is now standard for the MT-07 with braking done by dual 282 mm brake discs in front and a single 245 mm disc at the back.

Weight for the MT-07 is claimed to be 179 kg, with fuel carried in a 14-litre tank and riders will find the 804 mm seat height to be fairly accommodating.

Suspension settings on the MT-07 have been revised for 2019, with the new rear shock coming with rebound damping adjustment. There are two colour options for the 2019 Yamaha MT-07 – Race Blue, available in October, and Matt Grey, coming in January 2019 – and a stainless steel Yamaha disc lock will be given with every MT-07.

    Price is pretty high because our Ringgit is so low due to 61 yrs of corruption and stealing. Hopefully with good governance, Ringgit will be stronger and this bike would be cheaper for us to owns soon

      Lol, 61 years of corruption my foot. The guru of corruption was/is the current PM that came into power in ’81.

    No idea why there are so many superbikes on sale when there are no proper roads for the bikers to use.

    Until today, many years later, our bike lane is still under repair in the Federal highway. In Japan or China they would have completed the Federal Highway bike lane project in 1 week. Ours take few years

    Until we have good bike lanes, no point launching new bikes.

      you want to ride a super bike on a bike lane??
      that’s your consideration for buying a bike? wow… never see that coming.

      But I agree the federal highway repair is pathetic.

    Have you ever heard of “Loud Pipe Saves Lives”
    Then i guess you wont know how dangerous it is drivers now a days is to motorcyclist as i assume you never ridden a motorcycle on the road before.
    Many drivers change lanes without signal, without checking their side mirrors and blind spots then dash right into the lane they want to go.
    That is why accidents happens, not to mention those who are always playing with their electronic devices such as phones or tablet. They are the real killers
