I've seen plenty of MotoGP-liveried road bikes up close, and that black-with-blue-and-white scheme is genuinely sharp. Some call it just a paint job, but a brand that can carry that story from corner entry to exit and actually cash in on racing pedigree has real staying power. Don't dismiss it as just 18 horsepower.

155cc for touring is rough honestly, better to treat it as a city bike only.

So the only real difference between the MT-15 and R15 is the fairing?

That's basically always been the naked vs full-fairing gap, riding feel's a bit different though.

That black/blue/white Monster scheme though... genuinely want one, too good.

Nearly ₹176k for 18.1hp? Bit steep for what it is.

Same money, wouldn't a CBR150R make more sense?
