Starting in 2022, Yamaha has been introducing new color schemes and cosmetic changes to its Indian line-up to keep the interest of its consumers. In its most recent endeavor, the Japanese manufacturer has launched the 2022 Yamaha MT-15 (Version 2.0) and the World GP 60th Anniversary Edition YZF R15M at Rs 1,59,900 (ex-showroom) and Rs 1,88,300 (ex-showroom) . respectively in the Indian market.
The 2022 Yamaha MT-15 will be equipped with a set of 37mm USD front forks that will have a golden finish that looks very premium. The new aluminum swingarm has replaced the older box-section swingarm, but the delta-box frame remains in place. Apart from retaining the streetfighter-like styling of the previous variant, the new model gets some minor stylistic updates. The MT-15 also gets a new digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity via Yamaha’s Y-Connect app.
The YZF R15M, on the other hand, just has a new paint job. Gold-painted alloy wheels, Yamaha factory race-bike gold tuning fork insignia, black levers and unique commemorative badging on the fuel tank are some of the aesthetic attractions of the bike.
Both the motorcycles are powered by the same 155cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) that produces 18.4 PS of power and 14.1 Nm of torque. Transmission on both the motorcycles is a 6-speed sequential gearbox with slip-and-assist clutch.
The Yamaha MT-15 comes with two new paint options – Cyan Storm and Racing Blue – while Ice Fluo-Vermillion and Metallic Black are still available.
