Verdict
The Yamaha MT-15 V2 is a fantastic motorcycle that offers an intermediate experience of what an actual sportsbike feels like. It features the legendary engine from the R15, which is tried and tested. It was launched as an alternative to the R15 because people found it burdensome to navigate through narrow roads. That said, while competitors like the Bajaj N160 and Suzuki Gixxer are competent products, they do not come with an engine as refined as this one.
