Honda Grazia Drum

The MT-15 is a little motorcycle, with its look unchanged from before, emulating Yamaha's larger MT-09 and MT-10 naked bikes. The alien-like appearance attracts a lot of attention. The bike looks fantastic in this new red and white colour scheme. Its current MotoGP-inspired livery, which surrounds the bike in black paint and Monster Energy insignia, adds even more beauty to its basic design.
 

Looks and built 
 

The Yamaha MT-15 has all-LED headlights and taillights, however the indicators remain bulbs.  Apart from the usual information and warning lights, the negative LCD instrument cluster displays the gear position, shift light, and mileage indication. In addition, the motorcycle's side stand has an engine cut-off feature. 
 

Riding ergonomics
 

Like the R15 v3, the MT-15 BS6 uses the same deltabox frame, front conventional telescopic fork, and rear monoshock unit. Steel box swingarms are used on the MT-15's rear swingarm. It's significantly quicker to steer, with a shorter wheelbase and updated suspension geometry, and can easily be flicked from one corner to the next.
 

Engine and Power
 

The 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled 4-valve motor on the Yamaha MT-15 produces 18.6PS horsepower and 14.1Nm of torque. In comparison to the BS4 variant, engine outputs are decreased by 0.7PS and 0.6Nm. The MT-15 BS6 and the R15 BS6 have identical engine tunes, however the naked MT-15 BS6 has a shorter final drive ratio (due to a larger rear sprocket), making it faster for commuting. The motorbike gets Variable Valve Actuation, just like the R15 v3. The technology enables the 155cc engine to achieve peak performance at more revs. The engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission with a slipper clutch and assist. The assist function minimises lever effort, while the slipper clutch prevents the rear wheel from locking up during forceful downshifting.
 

Safety Features
 

The Yamaha MT-15 rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with a 100-section tubeless front tyre and a 140-section tubeless radial in the rear. As opposed to traditional rubber, the latter has a stronger sidewall, which improves cornering. It has single-channel ABS with a 282mm front and 220mm rear disc for braking.

Hero Splendor Plus 
 
Splendor Plus is Hero Motocorp's one of the best-selling products in the market. Kick-start with alloy wheels, self-start with alloy wheels, self-start with alloys and i3S, are the three variations of the motorbike. While the motorcycle's appearance has stayed constant, Hero has introduced a new Black and Accent variation as well as a 100 Million Edition to keep the market interested. The wheels, engine, and chain cover have all been blacked out. It comes in five colour variants: Matte shield gold, Black with silver, Black with purple, Black with sports red and Heavy grey with green. 
 

 Looks and built: 
 

The Hero Splendor BS6 has a rectangular halogen headlamp with rectangle-shaped halogen turn indicators mounted on the front. A small visor, which is an extension of the motorcycle's plastic panels, is also included, along with a rectangle-shaped halogen tail lamp at the back. As an instrument cluster, the Hero Splendor Plus has analogue dials that display the speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, and other information. Splendor Plus has a ground clearance of 165 mm, a height of 1052 mm, a length of 2000 mm, a wheelbase of 1236 mm, and a width of 720 mm. 
 

 Riding ergonomics: 
 

A tubular double-cradle frame underpins the new Hero Splendor Plus. The motorcycle's suspension is handled by telescopic forks in the front and five-step adjustable hydraulic dual shock absorbers in the back. The Splendor Plus provides a luxurious ride that glides effortlessly even over speed bumps and rugged terrain. The motorcycle is equipped with large 18-inch tubeless tyres. Both of the Hero Splendor Plus BS6's tyres are 80/100 section 18-inch units with the identical dimensions. 
 

 Engine and Power: 
 

The Splendor Plus's 100cc carbureted engine has been modified with Hero's 'XSens technology' fuel-injection system. At 8,000 rpm, the engine now produces 7.91bhp and 8.05Nm, while at 6,000 rpm, it produces 8.05Nm. This is a 1.3bhp loss, with torque staying unchanged but reaching 1000rpm later. The engine is still paired with a four-speed transmission. 
 

 Safety Features: 
 

From a safety standpoint, this Commuter bike is equipped with a Multiplate Wet Clutch Slipper Clutch. This commuter motorcycle's braking responsibilities are handled by a 130 mm drum unit on both ends, as well as an IBS (integrated braking system) as an added safety feature.
