The Yamaha XSR 155 is the latest neo-retro roadster from Yamaha India. Blending classic styling cues with modern performance hardware, the XSR 155 aims to offer a stylish yet practical ride for riders who want a standout look without stepping into high-cc territory. Officially launched in India at around Rs 1.50 Lakh (ex-showroom).
Exterior & Interior Design
On the outside, the XSR 155 carries distinctive retro flair: a round LED headlamp, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and simple, flat single-piece seat provide the heritage look. The upright riding posture and minimal bodywork make it accessible for daily use while retaining the stylish aura of a classic.
Inside the cockpit, the bike offers a full-digital LCD console with retro-inspired circular housing, giving a modern readout while maintaining vintage visuals. Suspension and chassis bits are sporty too — upside-down front forks, monoshock rear, and aluminium swingarm for good handling manners.
