Colour Shade Options For The 2023 Yamaha MT-15

Customers can have this roadster-segment motorcycle in two variants and six colour options. This includes Dark Matte Blue (new) and Metallic Black (new) which are new. Then we have Cyan Storm, Ice Fluo-vermillion, Racing Blue, and Metallic Black DLX colour shades. The styling, on the other hand, remains pretty much the same as the 2023 Yamaha MT-15 V2.

It continues to get a projector-style headlight with twin DRLs. Then we have the typical muscular fuel tank, an engine cowl, a step-up seat, a side-slung exhaust, and 17-inch wheels on both front and rear. Yamaha India also offers a slew of optional accessories. These are tank pad, skid plate, USB charger, and adjustable levers.
