Yamaha MT 15 V2: Yamaha is back with another head-turner for the Indian market — the 2025 Yamaha MT 15 V2. This isn’t just another 150cc commuter bike; it’s a sharp, streetfighter-style machine built to grab attention with its looks, performance, and features. Whether you’re a college student weaving through busy streets or someone who loves opening up the throttle on the highway, this bike is ready to put a smile on your face.
Eye-Catching Features That Stand Out
The MT 15 V2 keeps the aggressive, sharp design riders love, but now comes with a host of upgrades. There’s a modern digital console with Bluetooth pairing so you can connect your phone and get call or SMS alerts while riding. A USB charging port is built in, which means you can keep navigation on without worrying about your battery.
The display shows a digital speedometer, odometer, and trip meter — all crisp and easy to read. Lighting is fully LED, from the powerful headlamp to the stylish tail light and clear turn signals, giving you great visibility day or night. The seats are ergonomically designed for both rider and pillion, and the footrests are positioned for comfort, making short city trips and longer journeys equally enjoyable.
A Strong Engine for Real Performance
Under the tank sits a 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 18.4 PS of power and 14.1 Nm of torque. Thanks to Yamaha’s VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) tech, you get smooth performance at low speeds and an extra boost when you push it harder. The 6-speed gearbox shifts cleanly, and the bike feels stable even when cruising at over 100 km/h on the highway.
Variants and Price Range
Yamaha offers the MT 15 V2 in three versions — Standard, Deluxe, and the special Monster Energy MotoGP Edition. Prices range from ₹1.69 lakh to ₹1.74 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). You also get eight vibrant color choices like Cyber Green, Racing Blue, and Dark Matte Blue, giving every rider a chance to pick a style that fits their personality. On-road prices in Delhi fall between ₹1.95 lakh and ₹2.07 lakh depending on the model and local charges.
Smooth Handling and Confident Braking
With upside-down front forks and a rear mono-shock, the MT 15 V2 feels planted and soaks up rough roads with ease. Braking is handled by discs on both wheels, and the Deluxe variant adds dual-channel ABS for better safety in emergency stops. Whether you’re navigating tight city corners or leaning into a twisty highway, the bike stays composed and responsive.
Mileage That Makes Sense
Yamaha claims an ARAI-tested mileage of 56.87 kmpl, but in day-to-day riding, most owners report around 45–50 kmpl. On a steady highway cruise, some riders even see close to 60 kmpl, making it a solid choice for both daily commuting and weekend rides.
Final Verdict
The 2025 Yamaha MT 15 V2 is stylish, aggressive, and loaded with performance — all without going beyond a reasonable budget. It’s a bike that can turn heads on campus during the week and deliver a thrilling ride on open roads over the weekend. If you want a machine that blends style, performance, and practicality, a test ride at your nearest Yamaha showroom will tell you exactly why it’s on so many riders’ wishlists.
