First launched in March 2019, the Yamaha MT15 has already received an update in the form of the BSVI engine along with some minor features additions


The Yamaha MT15 has been around for little more than a year now. First launched in India back in March 2019, the streetnaked is a close relative of the YZF-R15 and has impressed the biking community enough to find more than 25,000 buyers in just 12 months. The motorcycle had sold 5,203 copies in March 2019, while the remaining 20,417 units were sold in the last fiscal.

The Yamaha MT15 received its BSVI update in February 2020, with which, its prices were hiked to Rs 1,38,900 onward (ex-showroom). Other than an updated motor, the motorcycle also received a new colour option in the form of the ‘Ice Fluo Vermillion’ shade, which is available at a premium of Rs 500 over the ex-showroom price.

Powering the Yamaha MT15 is a 155cc, single-cylinder, 4-valve, liquid-cooled 4-stroke, SOHC engine that is BSVI-compliant. It produces 18.5 PS of maximum power and 13.9 Nm of peak torque, which is 0.8 PS and 0.8 Nm lower than what the BSIV version offered.

The motor comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The Yamaha MT15 measures 2,020 mm in length, 800 mm in width and 1,070 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 1,335 mm and weighs 138 kg.

The Yamaha MT15 features a telescopic suspension up front and a monoshock at the rear. It also gets bi-functional LED headlight, LED tail lamp, LED position lamps, LCD instrumentation, wide handlebar setup, etc. The motorcycle gets disc brakes on both the wheels. While the motorcycle shares many components with the R15, the company claims it gets a differently-tuned ECU and gearbox for nimble performance.

The Yamaha MT15 is positioned between the FZ and the R series and is a perfect option for those looking for more performance from a streetnaked at a price point lower than that of the company’s most affordable fully-faired R-series offering, the R15. It is the second motorcycle to be launched by the company in 2019 and shares many components with the fully faired sibling.

Saurav Verma’s ‘KTM RC 390 SRV’ takes inspiration from the stance of a falcon KTM products are easily the best in India’s single-cylinder sports motorcycle category. The Austrian brand (in which Bajaj Auto has a 48% stake) has updated all its products to BS6 emission norms at the start of this year. In terms of performance as well as equipment, KTMs have always had an edge over its competitors. In fact, the all-new KTM 390 Adventure has set a benchmark in the Indian motorcycle scenario. In the current KTM India line-up, the faired RC range is relatively outdated. Even though we get only the RC 200 and RC 390 in the domestic market, KTM India assembles and exports the mid-range RC 250 in Bajaj’s manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune. Meanwhile, the next-gen KTM RC 390 was spotted a few months before doing test runs in European roads in its early prototype avatar. KTM products follow a unique design philosophy with their exposed trellis frame, orange highlights and quir

The  Classic 350  and  Bullet 350  have been Royal Enfield’s best selling motorcycles in India for many years now. The two motorcycles also recently received updates to make them BS6-compliant. Here, we take a look at the details of the Classic 350 and Bullet 350 that differentiate them from each other. Styling Royal Enfield has designed the Classic 350 as well as Bullet 350 keeping in mind classic motorcycles. Both get round, conventionally-lit headlamps and are adorned with chrome elements to suit their retro styling. However, the two motorcycles get slight cosmetic differences that set them apart visually. To begin with, the Classic 350 gets tank grips which the Bullet 350 misses out on. It also sports a pulled-back handlebar whereas the unit on the Bullet 350 is slightly higher, which offers the rider an even more upright riding posture. Furthermore, the Bullet 350 sports a square battery box instead of the oval box fitted on the Classic 350. The motorcycles
