Yamaha MT-15 registered 5,203 units in the month of March 2019, offering the brand a great start for a product that is priced much higher than any of remaining streetfighters falling in the 150-160cc segment. The motorcycle is priced at INR 1.36 lakh and getting more than 5000 buyers with such ease means the fans have wholeheartedly accepted the product. The motorcycle comes with single-channel ABS, front LED daytime running lights with a projector headlight, R15 V3-sourced 155.1cc engine and much more to keep everyone happy on the charts. The impressive blue and black colour options further attract those who are searching for a dark-themed motorcycle.
Yamaha MT-15 was earlier expected with dual-channel ABS, leaving everyone shocked with the brand’s plan of switching to the less-effective unit that safeguards the front wheel only. On the other hand, spending just INR 3,680 over the price tag of MT-15 can bring the R15 V3 with dual-channel ABS at INR 1,39,680 (ex-showroom). Those looking for the Darknight Edition will need to put INR 2,000 more into the purchase. MT-15 is available with 100-section front and 140-section rear tyre, further using the same disc brake setup as the R15 V3. Apart from the similarities, the Streetfighter has a different swingarm (box-type).
