Yamaha Motor India has introduced the all-new XSR155 to its Modern Retro Sport lineup. The motorcycle has been launched at an introductory price of ₹1,49,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and is aimed at riders who want classic styling paired with contemporary performance.
Yamaha XSR155 Design and Features
The XSR155 takes cues from Yamaha’s global XSR series, which is known for combining vintage aesthetics with advanced engineering. The bike features a round LED headlamp and taillight, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and a minimalist LCD digital instrument cluster. Its compact proportions and 17-inch alloy wheels give it a balanced stance suited for both urban commuting and weekend rides.
Yamaha is offering the motorcycle in four colour options: Metallic Grey, Vivid Red, Greyish Green Metallic, and Metallic Blue. To further personalize the bike, two factory customization kits are available – Scrambler and Café Racer – allowing owners to modify styling elements as per their preference.
