Yamaha MT-15 MotoGP Edition goes official at Rs. 1.48 lakh
Japanese automaker Yamaha has launched the MotoGP Edition of its MT-15 motorbike in India. To recall, the FZ 25 received a similar treatment last month. The two-wheeler sports MotoGP-inspired paintwork, a tiny blue graphic on the radiator shrouds, a golden 'Yamaha' logo on the fuel tank, and Monster Energy decals. However, its mechanical specifications and features remain unchanged. Here are more details.
The bike has full-LED lighting and a digital instrument console
The Yamaha MT-15 MotoGP Edition sits on a deltabox frame and has a muscular fuel tank with extensions, a stepped-up seat, an upswept exhaust, and arrowhead-shaped mirrors. The bike packs a digital instrument console, a full-LED setup for lighting, and rides on blacked-out alloy wheels. It has a fuel storage capacity of 10-liter and tips the scales at 138kg.
It runs on a 18hp, 155cc engine
The Yamaha MT-15 MotoGP Edition draws power from a BS6-compliant 155cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The mill generates a maximum power of 18.24hp at 10,000rpm and a peak torque of 13.9Nm at 8,500rpm.
There are disc brakes on both the wheels
In terms of safety equipment, the Yamaha MT-15 MotoGP Edition is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with single-channel ABS for better handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the motorcycle are taken care of by telescopic forks on the front side and a linked-type monocross unit on the rear end.
