Yamaha MT-15 Starts Reaching Dealerships Ahead of Launch

The bunch of spied images that surfaced on the internet recently confirmed that the much-awaited Yamaha MT-15 has started reaching the dealerships. The most powerful streetfighter of its class can be seen with odd-looking rear grab rails and saree guard after the homologation process. One of the images shows the glowing daytime running lights that look awesome and brings practicality at the same time. The availability of these lights will keep the projector at rest while most bikes without the daytime running lights have always-on headlights. The front looks the best when compared to any other motorcycle around the expected price segment.

Even the image without glowing DRLs brings the mean look out of the motorcycle in the best possible manner. The matt finish of the fender and front fascia seems perfect for a streetfighter. The 155.1cc, single cylinder engine is good for 19.3 HP and 14.7 Nm. The wet weight is expected to stay 136 kg, bringing straight drop for performance enthusiast with the removal of extra parts like the metal grab rail and guards. Fans were first in the state of shock when USD forks were removed from the Yamaha MT-15 but soon after looking at these photos, one can say it looks great this way too. The motorcycle is all set to launch in India on March 15 with an approximate price tag of around INR 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom).
