Yamaha Mt-15

The Yamaha Mt-15 has a top speed of ~130 km/h, produces 19.3 hp and weighs 138 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

O Yamaha MT-15 foi lançado em 2018, inicialmente para mercados asiáticos como Tailândia e Índia, como um lutador de rua nu derivado da plataforma YZF-R15. Ele foi projetado para levar a filosofia MT “Dark Side of Japan” para o segmento básico, apresentando um estilo agressivo e um motor de atuação de válvula variável (VVA). Ele se tornou muito popular no sudeste da Ásia e na Índia por seu caráter esportivo e preço acessível, recebendo atualizações, incluindo uma segunda geração em 2021 com estilo e recursos revisados.

O que os compradores devem saber

⚙️

Proven VVA Engine

The MT-15 uses Yamaha's Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology, delivering strong low-end torque and top-end power from a 155cc single-cylinder engine. This system is proven reliable across Yamaha's R15 and Aerox platforms with minimal reported failures.

⚠️

Watch the Radiator

Owners commonly report radiator fan overheating issues in heavy stop-and-go traffic, especially in hot climates. Keeping the coolant topped up and the radiator fins clean can prevent costly cooling system problems.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The MT-15 holds resale value exceptionally well in Asian markets due to the Yamaha brand reputation and high demand for sporty 150cc nakeds. A well-maintained unit typically retains 70-80% of its value after two years.

Melhor para
Urban commuters wanting sporty, flickable daily transport

"A properly engineered small naked that rewards smooth, skilled riders."

$2,500-$4,200 used

The MT-15 is Yamaha's baby naked done properly — that 155cc VVA engine punches way above its displacement, especially once the variable valve kicks in around 7,500rpm. For city commuting and weekend scratching on tight roads, it's genuinely brilliant. The R15-derived chassis feels planted and communicative, and the inverted fork up front is a proper spec item at this price point. Don't let the engine size fool you into thinking it's a toy. Buying used, check the chain and sprockets first — owners who thrash these tend to neglect basic maintenance. The stock exhaust note is underwhelming, so most used examples have aftermarket cans fitted, which is fine. Watch for crash damage around the fairings and handlebar ends; these get dropped. Service history matters more than age here. The riding position is aggressive for longer stints, and the seat gets uncomfortable past 45 minutes. Pillion accommodation is essentially ceremonial. But as a solo urban weapon that teaches you real throttle discipline? Genuinely hard to beat at the money.
