Yamaha MT-15 2025 Review: Now ₹13K Cheaper with 66 kmpl Mileage – Worth It?

Yamaha MT-15 2025  : The Yamaha MT-15 2025 has just become India’s hottest streetfighter deal with a ₹13,000 price cut, now starting at ₹1.60 lakh (ex-showroom). But does this performance bike truly deliver 66 kmpl mileage without compromising its thrill factor? Let’s dive in.

5 Reasons Why the MT-15 Stands Out

1. Aggressive Streetfighter Design

 LED headlight with “MT” signature look
Muscular fuel tank & sharp body panels
Dual-tone color options (Metallic Black, Cyan Storm)

2. Performance That Thrills

• 155cc liquid-cooled engine (19.3 PS / 14.7 Nm)

• VVA technology for smooth power delivery

• 6-speed gearbox + slipper clutch

• Top speed: 130 km/h (tested)

3 Unbelievable Mileage for a Performance Bike

 ARAI-claimed: 66 kmpl
Real-world: 50-55 kmpl (if ridden sedately)

 10L fuel tank = 650+ km range

4. Safety & Handling

 Single-channel ABS (adequate for light bike)
USD forks (top variant) for better stability
Lightweight (139 kg) for easy city maneuvering

5. New Attractive Pricing

EMI: ~₹4,500/month (₹20K down payment)

Who Should Buy It?

 Young riders wanting sporty looks + mileage
City commuters who occasionally hit highways
Budget-conscious performance seekers

 Reality Checks

 Vibrations at high RPMs (typical single-cylinder trait)
Seat hardness (not ideal for long rides)
Service cost: ₹1,200-1,800 per service

Alternatives

• Bajaj Pulsar N160 (₹1.3L): Cheaper but less refined

• KTM 125 Duke (₹1.8L): More aggressive but costlier

Final Verdict

The MT-15 2025 is now a steal deal for those seeking a premium-looking, fuel-efficient streetfighter. While the 66 kmpl claim requires gentle riding, its ₹13K price drop makes it the best-value 150cc performance bike today.
