Yamaha has hiked prices for all its BS6 models. This includes the MT-15 which is now Rs 1,000 more expensive than before. Prices for the motorcycle now start at Rs 1,39,900 with the more premium looking Ice Fluo Vermilion colour scheme now costing Rs 1,40,900 (both prices ex-showroom Delhi).

The BS6-compliant iteration gets a standard radial rear tyre and a side-stand engine cut-off feature for added safety. The bike retains the same underpinnings -- telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock. Brakes have remained unchanged too, with the front end featuring a 282mm disc with single-channel ABS while the rear comes with a 220mm disc.


MT-15 Specifications
On the Yamaha MT-15, the 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled 4-valve motor (which it shares with the R15 BS6) makes 18.6PS and 14.1Nm. Engine outputs compared to the BS4 version are lower -- 0.7PS and 0.6Nm to be precise. While the engine tune of the MT-15 BS6 and the R15 BS6 remain the same, the shorter final drive ratio on the naked (thanks to a larger rear sprocket) makes the MT-15 BS6 quicker while commuting. Not only does the MT-15 BS6 share its engine with the R15 v3, it also makes use of the same deltabox frame, front conventional telescopic fork, and rear monoshock unit. However, the rear swingarm used on the MT-15 is a steel box-type and not an aluminium one like on the R15. Braking hardware remains the same with disc brakes at both ends. As part of the BS6 update, Yamaha is now offering a radial tyre on the rear wheel of the MT-15 BS6.

MT-15 Variants
The Yamaha MT 15 comes in a single variant with three colour options: black, blue and red. The white and red option, which was introduced with the BS6 update, costs Rs 1,000 more than the other two colours.

MT-15 Design
The MT 15 is a tiny motorcycle and thankfully, that does not change even in the BS6 avatar. The styling of the motorcycle remains the same as before, aping the likes of the bigger MT-09 and MT-10 nakeds from Yamaha. The alienesque look does grab a lot of eyeballs. In this new red and white colour, the bike looks smashing.

MT-15 Features
While it always had LED DRLs, headlight and tail light, the tail light on the MT-15 BS6 has been slightly redesigned. You get the same full-digital dash that you find on the Yamaha R15 v3 BS6 but with a negative display. Sadly, it still gets single-channel ABS as standard; no signs of a dual-channel variant in the offing. Much like the R15 v3, the MT-15 BS6 also gets Variable Valve Actuation. The tech allows the 155cc engine to generate peak engine performance at higher revs without having to compensate for lack of low- to mid-range grunt.

Yamaha MT 15 Competitors
The Yamaha MT 15 BS6 goes up against the KTM 125 Duke. While the two naked motorcycles are beginners’ sport naked motorcycles, the MT-15’s extra displacement and VVA help it have better performance on tap than the Duke. Both motorcycles are priced on par, with the MT-15 BS6 bearing a premium of just Rs 860.
