Yamaha MT 15 looks smaller in dimension but its heart is full of power. Its engine and body parts are similar to the famous Yamaha R15 but differently tuned. This naked streetfighter gets some attractive look and a new paint scheme. The front end looks aggressive and the rear end looks sportier. However, it can be called a pocket dynamite.
