Honda CB150R Vs Yamaha MT-15 Vs KTM Duke 125 Styling Comparison

The most wanted and powerful 150 cc bikes are launched in india ...but which is better ?? ...let's find out.

CB150R Streetster is basically the CB150R with new paint scheme and graphics. The motorcycle features a round shaped full LED headlamp setup, fully digital instrument cluster a chiselled fuel tank which gets painted especially with new and attractive colour options (including white red and black) and a contrasting line that runs across it. There is also the number 150 sticker positioned just below the pillion seat panel. There are no other changes made to the motorcycle though. Just like the bigger CB1000R and the CB300R the CB150R too continues with the Neo-retro theme.

On the other hand Yamaha launched the MT-15 in India recently. The motorcycle is based on the fully faired YZF-R15 V3.0 sportsbike and shares most of its hardware as well with the former motorcycle. The MT-15 gets a bi-functional LED headlamp which looks quite aggressive. The motorcycle also borrows the instrument cluster from the R15 as well. Fortunately, the MT-15 gets a different set of straight handlebars which will help in easy manoeuvring of the motorcycle.

The KTM Duke 125 on the other hand, is the cheapest Duke offering which shares all the hardware with the Duke 200 except the engine. The motorcycle looks identical to the Duke 200 apart from the new stickers.
