2023 Yamaha MT-07 Unveiled in Europe: A Dark Side of Japan

  Do you hear that rumble? I am buzzing with excitement as I have a thrilling sneak peek at the highly anticipated 2023 Yamaha MT-07. Prepare to be captivated by its bold and innovative features, as I delve into what makes this motorcycle an irresistible force from the Dark Side of Japan.

Revamped for the new year, the 2023 Yamaha MT-07 introduces a cutting-edge five-inch TFT dash that incorporates a host of exciting updates. Let's dive right into the thrilling details that set the 2023 Yamaha MT-07 apart.

A vibrant TFT screen awaits riders, offering two distinctive display themes to suit individual preferences. The Street Theme showcases a contemporary design, featuring a bar-style tachometer hovering above a sleek digital speedometer and gear position indicator. For those who appreciate a touch of tradition, the Touring Theme delivers an analog-style circular tachometer on the right side of the screen, accompanied by a convenient digital speed readout on the left.

But that's not all. Prepare to be connected like never before, as Bluetooth connectivity makes its debut on the 2023 Yamaha MT-07. The innovative MyRide app from Yamaha acts as your personal liaison with the motorcycle's dash, ensuring you stay informed and connected at all times. With MyRide enabled, you can receive notifications directly on the dash for messages, emails, and calls. Furthermore, MyRide can be configured to send an email to your preferred address in the event of any technical issues with your MT-07.

For the social media enthusiasts among us, rejoice! MyRide accumulates a wealth of information during your ride, including route tracking, distance covered, acceleration rates, top speed, and even lean angles. Share your exhilarating experiences with friends and fellow riders on platforms like Facebook, where you can bask in applause, friendly banter, or anything in-between.

Recognizing the need for seamless integration, Yamaha has equipped the MT-07 with new right-side switchgear designed specifically for easy interaction with the TFT dash. While a quickshifter remains an optional feature, the 2023 MT-07 comes prewired to facilitate a hassle-free installation, making it even more enticing for riders seeking a thrilling and personalized experience.

As for pricing, details are yet to be disclosed for the 2023 Yamaha MT-07. However, we remain hopeful that Yamaha Motor US will live up to our expectations by ensuring that the US edition of the MT-07 receives this exciting new dash.
