The company is offering a riding jacket or a helmet to existing and future owners of the new Yamaha MT-15, the naked street bike based on the Yamaha YZF-R15.

India Yamaha had launched the new Yamaha MT-15 on March 15, 2019, with a price of Rs. 1.36 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The MT-15 is the most affordable addition to Yamaha's MT series in India. In the first month of its launch, the new Yamaha MT-15 clocked sales of 5,203 units. The full-faired Yamaha YZF-R15 Version 3.0 continues to do well in the sales charts, and in March this year, the R15 sold more than 9,000 units, a growth of 81 per cent in sales over the same month a year ago.

The Yamaha MT-15 is powered by a 155 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine which puts out 19 bhp of maximum power at 10,000 rpm and 14.7 Nm of peak torque at 8,500 rpm. The 6-speed gearbox is also the same as the R15's, but the final drive ratio is different to give the MT-15 more pulling power at low and mid revs. The MT-15's maximum speed is rated at 129 kmph, and with a kerb weight of 138 kg, it's 4 kg lighter than its full-faired sibling, the R15. With the MT-15 getting off to a good start on the sales charts, the latest offer will likely enthuse more customers to walk out of a Yamaha showroom with a MT-15 now.

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
