The XSR 155 is one Yamaha motorcycle that has been long awaited, and it has finally arrived at a rather tempting price tag as well. While only time will answer whether the wait has been worth it or not, the fact is that in the XSR 155, Yamaha finally has a neo-retro product to cater to the premium segment who would also want a spiritual successor to the RX135.

Pros & Cons of Yamaha XSR155

• What we admire in this bike

  • The retro design will remind you of the RX series.
  • The 155cc powertrain from the R15 is punchy and refined.
  • The 137kg kerb weight makes it quite light and nimble.
  • This Deltabox chassis should make it a fun handler around corners.

• What could have been better

  • Gets connectivity but lacks navigation.
  • Likely to be offered via Yamaha’s premium chain which has limited reach.
  • Low speed ride is likely to be stiffer than usual.

Looks And Design 4

• The XSR 155 is a proper neo retro naked from Yamaha, which seems to have a lot of influences from the long-gone RX135, It gets a round LED headlamp, 17-inch wheels sitting on alloy rims, a compact tail section and a small round tail lamp. The mechanicals are mostly covered in black, and it also gets a long ribbed seat. 

• The fuel tank is large, but gets clean treatment, with simple Yamaha lettering that will remind you of the RX100 and the RX135. However, underneath the neo retro looks, the XSR is a properly modern motorcycle, as it shares plenty of mechanicals with the R15 and the MT-15. 

• There are four paint schemes on offer; Metallic Blue, Greyish Green Metallic, Vivid Red, and Metallic Grey. Additionally, Yamaha is also offering two accessory packs; Cafe Racer and Scrambler, for those who want to differentiate their motorcycles further.

Powertrain And Hardware 4

• The XSR is based on the R15 and the MT-15, and as such there are plenty of things it shares with both the motorcycles. It borrows the 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder powertrain, and the performance figures remain the same; 18.1bhp at 10,000rpm and 14.2Nm of torque at 7500rpm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox.

• Beneath the retro looks, the XSR 155 is a thoroughly modern motorcycle. Built on the Deltabox frame, the XSR hangs off of USD forks and a linkage-type monoshock, and it sits on 17-inch wheels on both ends with alloy rims. In terms of braking, the XSR uses a dual-disc setup with a dual-channel ABS system. 

Features On Offer 3.5

• The XSR 155 keeps it rather simple in terms of features, and there isn’t a huge list of features that it boasts about. It gets a small LCD screen with app-based smartphone connectivity, showing you things like call/SMS alerts, phone battery level alert, and a gear position indicator.
