Yamaha MT-15 Beats KTM 125 Duke (Sales Report): Yamaha MT-15 registered 3,823 units in April 2019 and left the KTM 125 Duke behind in the premium streetfighter segment by a considerable margin. The latter was good for 2,199 units, with a gap of more than 1,620 units in comparison to its rival.
The motorcycle options in India are definitely more than what the market had a few months ago. The focus of riders on the lightweight segment of motorcycling is growing with time as most people now prefer going for a small displacement motorcycle with a premium set of features instead of extra displacement and less interesting features.
