Sleek Design with Street Swagger
The 2025 Yamaha MT-15 V2 is a head-turning naked streetfighter that embodies aggression and style. Its sharp, muscular look, inspired by Yamaha’s larger MT series, features LED projector headlights, bold daytime running lights, and a sculpted fuel tank with dynamic graphics. Available in vibrant colors like Cyan Storm, Racing Blue, Cyber Green, Ice Fluo-Vermillion, Metallic Black, Dark Matte Blue, and the exclusive MotoGP Edition, it stands out in city traffic. The compact dimensions (2015 mm long, 800 mm wide, 1070 mm high) and 170 mm ground clearance make it nimble, while gold upside-down (USD) forks and a lightweight aluminum swingarm enhance its premium, sporty aesthetic.
Powerful and Efficient Performance
At the heart of the MT-15 V2 2025 is a 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), delivering 18.4 PS at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm at 7,500 rpm. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper-assist clutch, it offers smooth, responsive power for quick city sprints and spirited highway rides. With a top speed of ~130 km/h, it’s tuned for mid-range punch, though it sacrifices some top-end speed compared to the R15 V4. Its fuel efficiency shines at 45–56.87 km/l (ARAI), making it as economical as the TVS XL100 for urban commutes, with a 10-liter tank providing a range of ~450–500 km.
Advanced Technology and Safety
The MT-15 V2 2025 is packed with modern features for young riders. A fully digital LCD cluster with Bluetooth Y-Connect displays call/SMS alerts, fuel economy, gear position, and maintenance alerts, though it lacks navigation. Safety is bolstered by dual-channel ABS, traction control, and a 282mm front disc brake paired with a 220mm rear disc for sharp stopping power. The USD forks and linked monoshock suspension absorb bumps well, though the stiff setup may feel firm on rough roads. Hazard lights on the Deluxe variant add visibility, ensuring confident rides in busy streets or low-light conditions.
Comfort and Practicality
Weighing 141 kg with an 810 mm seat height, the MT-15 V2 is accessible for new and shorter riders, offering an upright riding position for city comfort. Its wide handlebars and slightly rear-set footpegs provide agile handling, perfect for weaving through traffic. However, the small pillion seat and stiff suspension make long rides with a passenger less ideal, unlike the more touring-focused Harley-Davidson Pan America. Owners praise its low maintenance costs and smooth clutch, though some note high service expenses and a vibrating rearview mirror at high speeds. Delivery in Delhi averages 30–40 days.
Price and Value
Priced from ₹1.69 lakh to ₹1.74 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the MT-15 V2 2025 comes in three variants: Standard (₹1.69 lakh), Deluxe (₹1.73 lakh), and MotoGP Edition (₹1.74 lakh). On-road prices in Delhi range from ₹2.00–2.06 lakh. While slightly pricier than the Bajaj Pulsar NS200, its premium features like traction control, USD forks, and Bluetooth justify the cost. Competing with the KTM 125 Duke and TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, it offers a compelling mix of style, performance, and tech for young urban riders. Visit yamaha-motor-india.com or dealers for bookings.
