New spy shots of the Yamaha MT-15 reveal that it will be available in the Darknight (Black) colour option. The same colour debuted on the R15 V3 ABS.
Yamaha MT-15 in the new Darknight paint job looks stunning. It has been spotted along with many production units, indicating that full scale production of the bike has commenced.
The Darknight colour option was recently seen of the new R15 V3 ABS variant. It demands a premium of Rs 2000 over the other colour options. The same pricing will be seen on the MT-15.
Earlier, we spotted the MT-15 in a Matte Blue-Black paint job, without any camouflage. We expect the bike to offered in three colour options, which will include a brighter shade also.
