Yamaha XSR 155 Launched; Details

The XSR 155 shares its powertrain with the R15, with the same 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder powertrain in the same state of tune, producing 18.1bhp at 10,000rpm and 14.2Nm of torque at 7500rpm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox. Built on the Deltabox frame, the XSR 155 hangs off of USD telescopic forks and a linkage-type monoshock, while riding on 17-inch wheels with alloy rims.

In terms of features, the XSR 155 keeps it simple, with a round LCD instrument cluster featuring app-based smartphone connectivity, call/SMS alerts, but strangely there is no turn-by-turn navigation. It also packs in traction control, and a slipper clutch.

Visually, the XSR 155 gets proper neo-retro styling, making it an actual neo-retro motorcycle from the Japanese bikemaker in India. The round headlamp, a simple, clean-looking fuel tank, the flat ribbed seat and a compact tail section are all done quite well. All this while, it also packs in a performance-oriented powertrain. Remember the last retro Yamaha that did this? The RX.
