Naked bikes are among the most versatile two-wheelers out there. They can easily be configured for all types of riding with the installation of a few choice accessories in upgrades. Right of the box, they’re effective commuters, all while being sporty enough to be ridden on your favorite set of twisty roads or even on track.
If we shift our focus over to the Asian market, we’ll notice that apart from scooters, naked bikes with smaller engines are extremely popular, especially for enthusiasts looking for a sporty yet practical machine they can commute to work on on a daily basis. Bikes like the Honda CB150R, Suzuki GSX-S150, and of course, the Yamaha MT-15, are extremely popular in Asian countries like Thailand and Indonesia. Speaking of which, Yamaha’s premium offering in the entry-level naked bike segment, the MT-15, has just been given a refresh over in Thailand.
