Yamaha MT15 Launch Ride Photo Gallery

Yamaha introduced the MT-15 in the Indian market recently. We also got our hands on the streetfighter at the Buddh International Circuit. While you can read our take on the MT-15 in the review section, we bring to you a photo gallery from the ride. 

The main purpose of the Yamaha MT-15 is to perform like its supersport sibling, the YZF-R15 V3 although more comfortably.

Equipped with a one-piece handlebar and forward-foot pegs, the MT-15 offers an upright riding position. 

The MT-15 also offers a wide, single-piece seat that also promises the pillion a more pleasant ride in comparison to the YZF-R15 V3.

The bike with its low seat height and kerb weight of 138kg makes it accessible to a majority of Indian riders.

It uses the 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine from the R15 V3 which also sports the VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) technology. 

However, since Yamaha has retuned the ECU and gear ratios on the MT-15, the motorcycle seems to miss out on top-end grunt.

The engine on the MT-15 comes mated to a slick six-speed gearbox that comes with an assist and slipper clutch to enhance the riding experience.

The MT-15 gets the same braking setup as the R15 V3; a 282mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc. It gets a single-channel ABS which is disappointing for the price it demands. 

Furthermore, the MT-15 sports a box-type swingarm which is a cheaper fitment in place of the aluminium swingarm from its full-faired sibling.

One of the major USPs of the MT-15 is the radical-looking bi-functional LED headlamp which adds to the bike’s desirability and aggression.
