Yamaha has significantly expanded its MT range of naked bikes to feature smaller, more beginner-oriented models in recent years, particularly in the Asian market. While bikes like the MT-07, MT-09, and MT-10 continue to be exceedingly popular in the western market, smaller models such as the MT-03, and the eve smaller MT-15 are perfect for both first-time riders, and those looking for a sporty, lightweight naked bike for use around the city.
In Thailand, Yamaha has recently updated the MT-15, one of the best-selling premium entry-level bikes in the country. While other cheaper, more sensible options exist, the MT-15 appeals greatly to the enthusiast crowd, specifically because of its similar styling to the bigger Masters of Torque. That said, the new MT-15 specific to the Thailand—and presumably the rest of the ASEAN—market has been updated to better tie itself with the rest of Yamaha's MT model range. Just like its bigger siblings, the new Yamaha MT-15 features stealthy colorways accentuated by a dark gray motif with stirking cyan touches that give it a chic, youthful look.
