Today we are going to talk about two such legendary bikes that have redefined sports biking in India, Bajaj Pulsar 150. And the second one, the one that came with a completely new style and great technology, i.e. Yamaha MT-15. If your budget is around 1.5 lakhs and you are confused between these two, then let us compare these two bikes and tell you which bike is better.
Design and style
Bajaj Pulsar 150 is a name that is known for its muscular and familiar design. The bike looks reliable and resembles a classic sports bike. It has everything a traditional rider wants – wide tyres, a bullish fuel tank and a street presence that has been ruling the hearts of Indians for years. It is a bike that makes you feel safe and comfortable.

On the other hand, there is the Yamaha MT-15, which makes its appearance different from the usual bikes. Its aggressive styling with the ‘Master of Torque’, bare-body design, and raised tail section give it a scary and attractive look on the road. This bike is for the new generation of youth who want to stand out from the crowd and create their own unique identity.
Performance
Now talking about the engine, the Bajaj Pulsar 150 is powered by a 150cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. Its specialty is its simplicity and reliable performance. It rides very comfortably in the crowded city traffic. Both power and torque are perfect for city driving. This is a bike that will never disappoint you but it also does not have that ‘adrenaline rush’ that a performance enthusiast is looking for.
The Yamaha MT-15 is on a whole different level in this regard. It has a 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that is equipped with Yamaha’s excellent VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) technology. This means that this bike gives good performance even at low RPMs and as soon as you rev it, it will let loose like a wild animal. If you like speed and thrill, then the MT-15’s engine will prove to be a great choice for you.
Features
If we talk about features, then Pulsar 150 lags behind a bit. In this you get basic features like digital-analog instrument cluster, LED tail light and disc brake. All this is useful, but according to the standards of 2025, it is not enough.
The Yamaha MT-15 is a king in terms of features. Your eyes will be dazzled as soon as you see it. It has a brilliant LED headlight, a fully digital instrument cluster, and most importantly – advanced technology like slipper and assist clutch (A&S Clutch). This technology is a boon for new riders as it makes gear shifting very smooth and easy.

Now talking about its price, the price of Pulsar 150 is much less than MT-15. If you are on a tight budget and want a reliable, economical and low maintenance bike, then there is no better option than Pulsar 150. But if you want a premium bike, then its price is also accordingly. By paying more money here, you are buying excellent performance, advanced features and that head-turning factor along with Yamaha’s brand value.
