MT 15 Review

 Yamaha makes some of the most exciting Motorcycle in the world and they've been able to replicate. This to a Large extendable in India as wellwith their R15 series which do their remains the Best beginners would for bike you can buyhowever the make its. Well, they more like commuters weather isthe 150 or the 250 but Yamaha also to change. All that With This The new MT-15 but is itjust Another 150CC Commuter Or does it have the Pakkas speed five of the DNA to make it offthe MT-badge well to answer that You are five things you need to know about the new YamahaMT-15 One It gets the same engine As the R15 V3But at the same 155CC Single cylinder liquid cool for bail motor with VVA all variablevalve actuation. For its self makes 19.3 PS of power and 14.7-newtonmeters of torque but to spice things up on the MT-15 Yamaha has given this larger real socket whichis up by fourteen which means initial exclusion is much quicker also in the bike race four kilo less in has R-15 so In the Acceleration them at least 260 KPHwe believe this is going to be much faster, Of course, Its top Speed will be lower compared to be R15 And why didn't we have chance to test how fast It would go the Accelerationout of the corner was quite impressive. The experience Was It in by the same Slickshifting six-speed gearbox From. The R15 With A sliver of his clutch As welltwo There Are some key mechanical differences over the International MT-15 Firstly are these spokes now the internationalbikes get upside down units but just like the Indian R-15 version 3, these are Conventionaltelescopic spokes. That said the front end Geometry is camp thesame at the R-15 V3 which means it has same wake angle. 

and moving over to the back of the bike Comparedto the international bike the swing arm well this is box section swing arm the one on theinternational bike is a cast aluminum unit same like you find on the Indian R-15 version3 as well so how does all this affect handing well out on the racetrack. The bike felt very nimble But that's firstbecause There's hardly any wait on the front end The bikes Streaios in quite rapidly into a corner However With that less wait on the front. The front end can feel a little bit to lightalmost twitchy to certain point the downside to having such a light front end feel is thatthrough to fast-dressing changer the bike can almost feel a bit twitchy and out on theBIS so a corner and felt a little bit scary at speed so the MT-15 does require a delicatehand.

 To actually expect in the best Handling potentialAnd coming to things that remain the same these are the same make that you get on theR-15 version 3 However out on the track both bikes and feltsurvivor lacking in almost feel they were doing tune more for street every day used. And then into the safety, it does get ABSbut it's the only single channel not dual channel like on the R-15. Three there are some visuals changes Comparedto the international MT-15 as well you firstly gone are the Vacay color that to see. On the Indonesian bike, Yamaha India has gonefor more Suttle colors and I think add called them a little bit dull you get this sort ofdark bule and you get a black. Even those on a wheel on the internationalbike are not here only get on with this blue bike are a group of grill take on the wheelsthat said the overall shape does. Remain The same as the international bikesincluding the bikini fairing with that robotic looking LED headlight now we feel the LEDheadlights on the R-15 v3 as well but they were a bit disappointed in term of how muchlight the provided in the dark this one though might be in the little bit better consideringthat it's projector Overall though whats really visually missingin this bike is that must be an instance at the international bike has and that's thanksto the lack of upside down Spokes. Why they have no issues with the quality ofspeed and the overall plastics the way all the bits come together does feel a littlebit flimsy and the swipe gear quality isn’t up to the same level of that's been used asseen on other Yamaha bikes. 

4th the other making Changes make it a loteasier to live with compared to the R15 V3 firstly the seat Height has gone down by fivemillimeters so at internal is not exactly very short but isn’t the bike is very narrowso while I can’t flat foot the bike properly it’s also get feet down very very easilybut even short riders it should not be a big problem then the bike itself also feel quitelite and quite narrow which means moveable bike in the parking lot is a very easy taskand it comes with stands well this is nice the White Handlebar its just set quite lowyou have to be very slit lean forward to word them. Now the posture does feel a little bit aggressiveand it does remind you a little bit on the small of KTM Duke especially because the baris set that quite close to you. And then speaking about the seat.

 Well, it is actually fairly comfortable forriders and even though it has a fairly deep scallop it's not as bad as the BMW G 310Rso you can still move back in the seat if you have to. As For the pillion seats, It is actually quitesmall if you ask any of them Might be able to just about managed but in the larger, Idon't think so. Five at rupees 1.36 Lakh ex-showroom Delhiit is just about three and a half lakh rupees cheaper compared with to the R15 V3 and hereis relies the problem in terms of equipment it is offering a little bit less like swingarm or even the ABS within the price difference isn't all that much honestly expecting thisbike we price a lot lower somewhere we close to 1.2 lakh mark and that price its make alot of sense well some of the one of the performances of R15 but want the bike. And little bit Easier to live with Try Aswe might we are finding it a bit difficult to justify the MT-15 high price sure we believeit will be good urban motorcycle and definitely more comfortable than the R15 on a daily basisbut if with those are the only reasons for picking the MT15 well we can certainly thinkof better and better price the street fighters from the competition.
