Expert's Opinion on MT-15

Overview

The Dark Side Of Japan
The Dark Side Of Japan
  • The Yamaha MT-15 stands out as the Yamaha R15’s streetfighter sibling. It is powered by the same 155cc engine, but gets a different design and styling along with some changes to its performance. Here’s what we think about the bike

Design

A transformer on two wheels!
A transformer on two wheels!
  • The Yamaha MT-15 stands out with an aggressive design and styling. Its headlight section, resembles a transformer’s face
  • The tank extensions are quite aggressive and makes the bike look quite aggressive
  • The pillion seat is a bit too small and the tail tidy feels too long relative to the body. Doesn’t fit in well with the overall design

Performance & Mileage

More than an R15
More than an R15
  • The 155cc motor has adequate torque across the rev range thanks to Yamaha’s variable valve actuation technology (VVA)
  • The engine is quite tractable and can move at low speeds of 24kmph at 6th gear
  • The engine is very refined and there are very little vibrations present.
  • The engine lacks bottom end torque and this is a bit of a let down when riding in city traffic. The engine only feels alive once its rev past 5500rpm

Handling

Even better than the R15?
Even better than the R15?
  • The bike is very agile and tips into corners easily
  • The small profile makes it easy to cut through traffic
  • The light weight also makes it easy to move the bike around in the parking lot as well
  • Braking performance leaves a lot to be desired. The front disc doesn’t have the kind of initial bite you’d expect
  • The rear brake doesn’t offer much feel, and it's hard to press the lever a bit too hard.

Ride Quality

Stiffer than a rock
Stiffer than a rock
  • Has a stable front-end and is easy to tip into corners
  • Is nimble in traffic
  • The suspension setup is set towards the stiffer side. The bike is not able to sock up most of the bumps and potholes you’d encounter on road

Comfort & Storage

The best for the rider but not the pillion
The best for the rider but not the pillion
  • The seat is decently comfortable and can accommodate city riding
  • The rider seat also has a lot of space and it’s easy to move around and adjust the riding position for a more upright or more sporty one.
  • The relaxed and upright riding posture is a lot more comfortable than the committed on of the Yamaha R15
  • The seat cushioning is not the best and it gets uncomfortable when riding for longer durations. This is annoying when touring for longer distances
  • The pillion seat is a bit too small and is quite uncomfortable

Features

Has the bare minimum
Has the bare minimum
  • The bike gets a negatively-lit LCD console which has a clean layout and offers good visibility in most lighting conditions
  • The tachometer layout makes it feel like a proper race bike, which is something I appreciate
  • The bike gets smartphone connectivity via the Yamaha Y-Connect app for call/SMS alerts
  • Misses out on turn-by-turn navigation which many of its rivals get

Verdict

Should you buy the Yamaha MT-15?
Should you buy the Yamaha MT-15?
  • The Yamaha MT-15 is a really good entry-level streetfighter. The well refined engine, combined with the bike’s amazing handling, makes it one worth considering if you’re looking for a good beginner bike. It is also the perfect alternative for those looking for R15 like performance in a more ergonomic package. The MT-15 has all the essential features you’d expect from a bike of its class, and the only issue is that it misses out on turn-by-turn navigation which could have enhanced the riding experience to a great extent.

Key Things to Know about MT-15

Upside
  • Agile handling, Light kerb weight, Excellent performance
Downside
  • Weak headlight, Cramped pillion space, A little pricey
Expert's Conclusion

The Yamaha MT-15 ticks all the right boxes when it comes to being a nimble, performance-packed motorcycle that’s at home in the city and also the occasional highway rides. If you can overlook the cramped pillion space, the MT-15 makes for a great allrounder.

Go for this worry free

I am oning Yamaha MT 15 since last 7 months and I didn't faced any problem till now. according to me Yamaha MT 15 is better than all other Yamaha models like FZS, R15 etc. the mileage is around 50-55 kmpl which is good for 155 cc engine. sitting posture is comfortable and suspension adds more comfort by absorbing all major shocks.

Absolutely love the bike

I want a sporty and powerful bike so i pick Yamaha MT 15 which is very practical for everyday usage with trackable engine. It is a great combo of power and mileage and got mileage above 50 kmph and i absolutely love this bike. Handling and braking everything is good but one complaint about the seating space is less otherwise the performance is very nice and the riding position is comfortable and also aggressive.
