Andrei Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hi all! Does anyone have any updates regarding 2021 model? Release date, newer spy pics, colors, etc.? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo10 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I have seen nothing. Announcements usually arrive with the Italian bike show EICMA in November. The show will not happen, presumably, but announcements might. I would be surprised if it involved more than colour changes. 1 Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigan400 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I heard the 09 was getting some revisions for 2021 so the 07 will probably be 2022 before they do anything beside "bold new graphics". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyribs Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Most likely color changes. Big updates usually get lots of lead time attention. Though wasn't it a year or so ago something was floating around about a turbo'd 07? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo10 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 There is usually 4 or 5 years between major upgrades when the bikes sells wèll. Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakko Warner Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Isn't the MT-07 due for Euro5 compliance? Spotted: Updated Yamaha MT-07 Going For A Stroll Maybe a Euro5 compliant powertrain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo10 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Euro5 comes in January 2021. I wonder if we might see a shift-cam engine like they have on their 125. Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I bet that we will have news during the first week of November! I'm thinking new led headlight, led indicators, new display, surely the new exhaust. no ride by wire and modes/ traction control. I hope slipper clutch (but I don't think so) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope slipper clutch (but I don't think so) As nice as all that would be, I think they would increase the price more than we'd like. I agree about the slipper likelyhood. Not sure how much an OEM slipper clutch costs, but I know that an aftermarket slipper is a steep USD $1,000. If it adds anywhere near that much to the current price, the MT-07 would be in a whole other price point where the competition is steeper. Not worth it unless you're going to be tracking it IMO. LEDs would add little to the price though. It shouldn't be that hard/expensive to design a head light that allows you to actually see at night. Ride by wire/traction controls isn't expensive to manufacture either but they usually reserve that kind of functionality for their higher end bikes. Which I find very annoying. I would love the MT-07 to have TBW so we could have cruise control for those long highway slogs. It annoys me that even though all the street triples have throttle by wire, only the top end model enables cruise control. It's a cash grab. Not that the auto industry is any better. Want cruise control? it's part of the $3,000 package of other stuff you don't want/need. 2 DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) what make me believe the 2021 wil have all leds it's that the 07 is the last non led in the family. they can do a LOT of cheap improvement but making a 07 too good will just add to the 09 competition..

Devilman Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I agree with a slipper clutch even though I never rode a bike with one. LEDs would be nice, I upgraded all of mine to LEDs. Part of me hope they keep the ugly turn signals even though I removed them. It has been a running joke for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a running joke for so long. *Derailment in progress* I agree the "giant pumpkins" are looking a little dated these days especially on the modern looking 07s. They're definitely not one of the things that give it style points. I've done 30+ "Mods" to my '17 ABS 07, But replacing the OEM blinkers hasn't been one of them yet. I have replaced the lacking filament bulbs with much bright LEDs though. With LED bulbs they're definitely noticed better than most of the aftermarkets can claim to be just due to the larger lens area of the OEMs. I'm not a fan of replacing the stock ones with smaller ones which will, IMO, be harder to get noticed. I've not found aftermarkets that are of similar size that are more "stylish" but still brighter than the OEMs with LED bulbs. If anyone knows of any I'd love to consider them for my next "mod".

What about fitting some euro market clear lenses? Straight up fit, look better and same visibility to traffic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Don’t be fooled by the size of the oem turn signals, they are less visible than good led ones, just because the difference il lumens it’s pretty noticeable (and in my opinion orange lenses provide less contrast between on and off than clear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
