Yamaha MT-15 Top Speed & Braking Test Video: Yamaha MT-15 has been under the scanner for being slightly overpriced in comparison to the equipment on offer. YouTuber Dino’s Vault has recently tested the motorcycle to see how well it performs on the road and results are pretty impressive in this case. The new Yamaha MT-15 brings a top speed of 129 kph (speedo-indicated) and brakes from 63-0 kph in just 1.6 seconds. The numbers are great as buyers who are looking for the street-specific riding style won’t get anything better than the MT-15 in this segment. The reversed display (called a negative LCD display by the brand) is also comfortably readable in direct sunlight.

The lightweight motorcycle is very easy to manoeuvre as turning around the
Yamaha MT-15 when going back was the easiest turn for Dino. The 155.1cc engine is great when seen from the top range rev point as the bike sprints effortlessly when ridden over 5000 rpm. The availability of VVA further helps Yamaha with clean power delivery through the range. The 19.3 HP of power output is clearly visible as the motorcycle jumps over the 100 kph mark in the fourth gear and continues to sprint before reaching the top speed. The value seen here is subjective as wind direction and rider’s position affects the values. Even the weight of fuel and rider plays an important role.
