Yamaha has launched the new Monster Energy MotoGP edition of the MT 15 in India. The Japanese bike maker has priced it at Rs 1,47,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi) which makes it Rs 2,000 more expensive than the already available special-edition trim of the bike. 

The changes are only limited to the styling front with a subtle MotoGP cosmetic treatment on offer. Its entire body work is draped in a black paint scheme that is adorned by Monster Energy branding on the fuel tank and logo on tank extensions. Meanwhile, it continues to be powered by a 155cc, liquid-cooled, single cylinder engine that produces 18.23bhp of power and 13.9Nm of peak torque. The transmission system comprises a six-speed gearbox. 

The list of features in the MT 15 includes a negative LCD console, a side stand engine cut off switch, a single channel ABS setup, an assist and slipper clutch, an LED headlamp, and an LED tail lamp. With a puny fuel tank of 10-litre, the motorcycle tips the scales at 138kg. It rides on 17-inch wheels at both ends with telescopic forks and a monoshock. A single disc at both ends handle the braking duties.
