Yamaha’s vast lineup of small to mid-displacement two-wheelers in Asia certainly leaves the western world in envy. Small-displacement bikes are indeed tons of fun, and when ridden by an experienced rider who knows a thing or two on how to make a bike really move, can make for an absolute blast. On top of this, their approachable nature—both in terms of price and performance—makes it easy to own these machines.
Earlier in April, 2022, Yamaha released the YZF-R15 in a fancy World GP 60th Anniversary Edition livery in India. Now, less than a week later, the Tuning Fork Company is bestowing commuters and enthusiasts alike a more approachable package based on the R15’s platform: the MT-15. The Yamaha MT-15 has been available for some time now across Asia, and has proven itself as one of the best entry-level naked bikes on the market. The new-generation machine is better than ever, and it’s just been launched in India at the rather affordable price of just Rs 146,900, or the equivalent of $1,925 USD.
