Why not 5 stars?
Fun to ride but poor controls layout -especially tiny horn button out of easy reach. Non adjustable monoshock, which for the price of the bike should be adjustable. Good acceleration but noisy 'rattle' heading up to 5th and 6th gears. Im told this is 'normal'. To me it is not acceptable, so I will soon get another opinion. Great handling and road feel, although tire pressure will affect ride comfort a lot. Typical roads in the Philippines will feel harsh at the suggested psi of 36. For me the rear is ugly looking, with an insect appearance that I will modify. I also plan to modify the front light housing and signal lights. Side views of the bike are cool.
Comfortnon adjustable monoshock and so-so seat padding mean that the MT15 is acceptable but not super comfortable. Sitting position is good though.
PerformanceFor a 155, the MT15 performs very well -except for the rattle I mentioned already. Very good banking and acceleration make for enjoyable riding if the roads are smooth enough.
SafetyHandling and braking are good, but the tiny horn button and poor location is unsafe. Lights are ok, turn signals ugly but very visible.
