2014 Yamaha MT-07 revealed

Following the launch of its naked MT-09 back in June, Yamaha has now unveiled the smaller MT-07.

As that name implies, the MT-07 is powered by a 689 cc parallel-twin engine that develops 74 bhp (55 kW / 75 PS) with 68 Nm (50 lb/ft) of torque. By comparison the Kawasaki ER-6n, which is an obvious rival, boasts a very similar 71 bhp (53 kW / 72 PS) and 64 Nm (47 lb/ft).

Based on a steel tubular backbone frame, the MT-07 adopts a distinctive ‘mass forward’ design that gives an upright riding position. Kerb weight with a full fuel tank is 179 kg (395 lbs), while the seat height is 805 mm (31.7”).

Yamaha has yet to announce a UK price for the MT-07, but when sales begin buyers will have five paintwork choices including the Race Blu colour scheme.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
