Yamaha has launched its 2023 Monster Energy Moto GP Edition models in India. The announcement comes just days ahead of the Bharat GP.



The Monster Energy Moto GP Editions come in a special livery inspired by Yamaha's Moto GP team colours. It includes a black and blue theme with the Monster Energy logo on the tank shrouds and fairings. It is available on the YZF-R15M, MT-15 V2.0 and the Ray ZR 125 Fi Hybrid models.



Yamaha hasn't made any mechanical changes to the Moto GP Editions. The R15 and MT-15 use the same 155cc single-cylinder engine that puts out 18.1 BHP and 14.2 Nm.



The Ray ZR is powered by a 125cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 8 BHP @ 6,500 rpm and 10.3 Nm @ 5,000 rpm. It is equipped with a Smart Motor Generator (SMG), which functions as an electric motor to provide a power boost under acceleration.

2023 Monster Energy Yamaha Moto GP Edition ex-showroom prices:

• YZF-R15M – Rs 1,97,200
• MT-15 V2.0 – Rs 1,72,700
• Ray ZR 125 Fi Hybrid – Rs 92,330

Comes at a time when Yamaha is struggling a lot in the championship. This year's M1 is no match to its European competitors and is really languishing.

Surprising move to give the MotoGP inspired livery to the Ray ZR, while their flagship scooter Aerox doesn't get this.
