The Yamaha MT-15, since its launch in India, has been loved for its rev-happy engine, sharp handling while offering a comfortable riding posture. The bike is currently in its second iteration and sells quite well in its segment.
Yamaha sold 9,490 units of the MT-15 in February 2025, which is a 10.80% decrease in MoM sales figures while the YoY sales figures have been dwindling too with a slight decrease of 5.54% in its sales. The MT-15 despite having a polarising design, is still a worthy contender in the 150cc segment with excellent power-to-weight ratio, excellent mileage and bulletproof reliability at an affordable price point.

The Yamaha R15, considered as the best entry-level sportsbike in India, has developed a loyal fan-following since its launch back in 2008. It has received many updates over the years and is in its fourth iteration currently. The Yamaha R15 range consists of three models: the R15 V4, the R15M and the R15S.
Yamaha sold 7,157 units of the R15 V4 in February 2025, which is a 13.39% decline in MoM sales, and a 35.68% decline in Y-o-Y sales figures. Even though the R15 is quite a unique bike in the segment with exciting performance and fantastic handling capabilities while making it easier for beginner riders to get used to supersports, the bike has become expensive for some buyers over the years with the R15M’s top-end colour variant costing Rs 2,10,800 (ex-showroom).
