How does the Yamaha MT-15 V1 fare for long-distance touring?
Ashutosh 03 February 2025 06:13
The Yamaha MT-15 V1, primarily designed as a sporty urban commuter, has sparked debates about its suitability for long-distance touring. While some riders appreciate its agile handling and fuel efficiency for extended trips, others question its comfort and stability on highways. The bike's compact size, relatively small fuel tank, and lack of wind protection are often discussed in the context of touring capabilities. Additionally, the absence of features typically found on touring bikes, such as luggage mounting points or a relaxed riding position, raises concerns for some potential tourers. This question aims to explore the experiences of riders who have taken their MT-15 V1 on long journeys, discussing aspects like comfort over extended hours, fuel range, highway stability, and any modifications made to enhance the bike's touring potential. It also touches on how the MT-15 V1 compares to purpose-built touring motorcycles in real-world long-distance scenarios.

I've done a few 500km+ trips on my MT-15, and it's surprisingly capable. The upright riding position is comfortable for long hours, and the fuel efficiency means fewer stops. Just add a small windscreen and you're good to go.
