Weird Flex: This Chinese Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 Clone Costs Less Than A Hero Splendor Plus

The Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 is no longer just popular in our market, but also seems to have caught the fancy of Chinese manufacturers. Foshan Muci Motorcycle Co. Ltd has introduced its version of the Japanese streetfighter, and can be had for almost half the price of the original bike.
Simply known as “MT”, this bike looks like a toned down version of the Yamaha MT-15. While the fascia of the clone is very close to Yamaha’s design, the thick “brow” LED DRLs spoil the mean look of the original. Even the fuel tank and the extension are designed in a similar way, which look like the original MT-15, but now look more suited for a commuter. In fact, the long and wide seat of the Chinese MT appears to be inspired from the FZ range of motorcycles, and actually could be more comfortable and accommodating than the short seat of the Yammie.

Interestingly, the bike can be ordered in 150cc, 200cc or a 250cc avatar. And while the Yamaha MT-15 V2 uses a liquid-cooled motor, the Chinese bike gets air-cooled motors only. The 150cc engine of the Foshan MT-15 makes 11.55PS and 11.5Nm while the 200cc mill churns out 13.04PS and 13.6Nm. Its top-of-the-line 250cc engine only manages to put out 17PS and 16.5Nm. For reference, the Yamaha MT-15 V2 produces 18.4PS and 14.1Nm.
The underpinnings of the Chinese MT-15 are very identical to the original bike. It runs on 17-inch rims at both ends, with disc brakes at both ends taking up braking duties while a USD fork and monoshock setup handles the suspension department.
The Chinese manufacturer hasn’t revealed any features of the motorcycle. However, from what we can see, this bike gets a LCD instrument console, and doesn’t have the safety net of ABS.
Foshan Muci Motorcycle has priced its MT at an equivalent of Rs 56,904 to Rs 68,597, depending on the engine you opt for. That’s almost Rs 1 lakh cheaper than the Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0. Let us know what’s your take on this Chinese MT-15 in the comments.

I chose this bike because of its good mileage, performance, and its aggressive look, which grabs a lot of attention by the way.,also, I ride 60 km daily to college, so I needed a bike that delivers better power, good mileage, and a good posture for my daily rides,that's why I chose the MT15. 1)Performance is Actually very good,the highs and lows are pretty good and fun to drive,but the mids are not that good ,sometimes i Feel a lack of power in the mids while overtaking in Kerala roads (hilly roads) 2) The mileage is very good,I am an aggressive rider and i get a mileage of about 40-43 and but if i ride below 7500 rpm i got a mileage of 45 above (actually i got(53)one time. 3)The Styles are very good an aggressive but the parts like the mirrors,the switches and the indicators are not that good as it is a premium bike they should have gave a good mirrors and switches 4)The service cost is cheap I think the last service cost was 1200 5)The main problem is with the pillion seat,the seat is smaller which makes the pillion.uncomfortable and the rider as well,also if there is a pillion the bikes lacks power,you can literally feel that 6)The handling is very very good actually ,its nimble and for city ride it is a perfect option also the leaning angle is pretty good 7) Sound is also good and not that loud but if you are on higher rpms it makes you feel like riding a sporty bike Yeah I would recommend this bike if you are a city rider who wants power as well as mileage and a good reliability,but if you have a pillion for a daily ride,it can cause some problems like lack of power and uncomfortable seating,and as i am college student i would recommend this bike for the college students who have a tight budget and needs a bike with a good mileage and looksRead More

I chose the Yamaha MT 15 because of its bold streetfighter look and strong performance. It has a powerful engine with good mileage for daily rides. The upright seating is comfortable for city traffic and short highway trips. It also feels light and easy to handle. The ride has been smooth and fun. The pickup is quick and the handling feels very sharp. It stays stable even at higher speeds and the braking gives good confidence. The suspension is firm but works well on most roads. It feels perfect for both daily use and weekend rides. Yes I would recommend the MT 15 to anyone who wants a sporty and practical bike. It suits college students and working people who want style comfort and performance together. It gives good mileage and has a strong road presence in its segment.Read More
