Yamaha MT-15 India Launch in March 2019: A recent report in the automotive world claims that much-awaited MT-15 will officially arrive in India in March 2019. The unofficial bookings for the premium naked motorcycle have already started with select dealers for an amount of around INR 10,000. The test mule of MT-15 has been spotted with a different suspension setup in comparison to the international variant. This means Yamaha is sharing the frame, suspension, braking and ABS setup with the R15 V3 and could result in cost-cutting by raising production levels.

Along with the new R15 V3 ABS, the brand has updated colours and features on the 250cc and 150cc FZ series. Most colours are common between Yamaha models and expecting MT-15 Darknight is another wild guess that could pull the right string for street machine Yamaha lovers. The motorcycle is expected to produce the same 19.3 HP of peak power and 14.7 Nm of maximum torque as the R15 V3. Yamaha MT-15 is expected to be priced around INR 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom).
