Yamaha XSR 155 Bike : While our streets are flooded with modern naked bikes and aggressive streetfighters, the XSR 155 marked a refreshing entry, with retro styling paired with modern performance. After months of waiting, Yamaha has at last introduced this neo-retro machine in India, offering something strange and wonderful to fellow enthusiasts—vintage looks, modern machinery.
Yamaha XSR 155 Bike Features
The XSR 155 neo-retro styling defines its distinct character. This bike features a round full LED headlamp, LED tail lamp, a round instrument console that displays speed, gear position, fuel level, etc., all in a retro-styled arrangement. The tank looks muscular yet classic, while the ribbed flat seat beckons the good old days of the café racer era, with dual-tone paint schemes to complement its vintage looks.
Building over the Yamaha Deltabox frame, it offers the rigidity and precise handling characteristics of the R15 and the MT-15. These come equipped with USD front forks (international variants; telescopic in India), a rear mono-shock suspension, and 17-inch alloy wheels superb for giving stability and agile movements to its retro charisma. The upright riding posture makes for good-law-and-order city commuting and a big fat smile for weekend rides.
Yamaha XSR 155 Bike Engine And Performance
Under that retro body stands the core of a very modern machine. The XSR 155 is powered by the same 155cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) found on the Yamaha R15 V4. It produces 18.4 PS at 10,000 rpm and 14.2 Nm at 7,500 rpm, coupled with a 6-speed gearbox and combined with an assist & slipper clutch for smooth gear shifts.
With its phenomenal mid-range performance complemented by brisk throttle response, one could weave between traffic or cruise on open roads with ease on an XSR 155. Fuel efficiency is expected to be in the region of 55–65 km/l, thus making it fuel-practical yet quite a spirited ride for quick daily hustle or laid-back weekend rides.
Yamaha XSR 155 Bike Price
In India, the Yamaha XSR 155 is sold at approximately ₹1.65 lakh (ex-showroom), almost above an MT-15, due to its niche styling and premium feel. Offered in classy colour combinations like Matte Green, White-Red, and Black-Grey, XSR surely carries a compelling value proposition-garnering enthusiast seeking the best of heritage design with a brawny performance besides.
