Yamaha MT-15 Gets Updated In Thailand
Sadly, the updates are only cosmetic
Sadly, the updates are only cosmetic
When Yamaha launched the updated MT-15 in India, it came kitted with the Yamaha R15 V4’s USD fork, revised instrument cluster and cast aluminium swingarm. Now, Yamaha has updated the bike for Thailand and here’s a lowdown into what the bike gets in its latest iteration.
What’s instantly noticeable is the lack of a flashy golden fork up front. That has been replaced with a stealthier black inverted fork. That said, this change is only for the Grey variant. The Blue and Black ones have retained the golden upside down fork. Another major visual change are the new blue rims, replacing the older red ones.
Somethings that are not instantly visible are the slight new cosmetic changes on the tank extensions when compared to the 2021 model. Along with that, there’s the Tosca Green striping on the fuel tank too. The updates now make the graphics similar to the ones seen on the India-spec MT-15. The only thing different is the actual colours on offer.
What’s interesting to note is that the instrument cluster on the Thailand-spec MT-15 does not get bluetooth connectivity, like on the one that’s available in India. That coupled with the fact that the bike doesn’t even get single-channel ABS as standard are the key differences between what the Thai and Indian versions offer.
The design is still the same, carrying the characteristics of the MT Series with a projector LED headlamp with DRLs that give it an aggressive look.
As for the engine, the MT-15 is unchanged, carrying on with its 155cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine which has 18.4PS and 14.1Nm on tap. The engine is equipped with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA). The motorcycle has an fairly accessible seat height of 810mm, a 10-litre fuel tank, and the bike tips the scale at 139 kg. It gets 17-inch wheels at both ends with a 100/80 tyre at the front and a 140/70 at the rear.
The streetfighter from Team Blue retails at 1,01,000 Baht, which is approximately Rs 2,28,477. On the othe hand in India, the MT-15 v2 retails at Rs 1,59,900 for the Metallic Black variant and at Rs 1,60,900 for all other variants. (ex-showroom Delhi).

- As a daily commuter I love this bikeI 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 More6 3
