Yamaha Motor India has launched the 2023 MT-15 V2, a roadster-segment motorcycle, in India with a starting price of Rs. 1,64,900. The MT-15 V2 competes with KTM 125 Duke, Bajaj Pulsar NS200, and Apache RTR 200 4V in the Indian market. The motorcycle is available in two variants and six colour options – Dark Matte Blue, Metallic Black, Cyan Storm, Ice Fluo-vermillion, Racing Blue, and Metallic Black DLX.
The motorcycle features a projector-style headlight with twin DRLs, a muscular fuel tank, a step-up seat, engine cowl, a side-slung exhaust, and 17-inch wheels on both ends. The motorcycle also offers optional accessories such as a tank pad, skid plate, USB charger, and adjustable levers. The MT-15 V2 retains the 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system, and the addition of OBD2 hardware. The motor delivers a maximum output of 18.1bhp at 10,000rpm and a peak torque of 14.2Nm at 7,500rpm, linked to a six-speed gearbox.
The MT-15 V2 is available in two variants – Standard and Y-connect. The latter offers Bluetooth connectivity that brings additional features such as call alert, SMS and e-mail alert, phone battery level, last parked location, and malfunction notification. All colour options, except the Metallic Black and Dark Matte Blue paint themes, get full-LED lighting. The Metallic Black and Dark Matte Blue paint themes use bulb-type turn indicators and don’t get Bluetooth connectivity.
The prices for the 2023 MT-15 V2 start from Rs. 1,64,900 and vary depending on the colour choices.
