The Yamaha XSR 155 has a neo-retro design that mimics the FZ-X to some degree. The Yamaha XSR 155 embraces its neo-retro character with design elements such as a round LED headlamp and taillight, as well as a teardrop-shaped fuel tank that openly spells ‘Yamaha’ rather than displaying the brand’s emblem. The flat, single-piece seat, which differs from the split, stepped pieces featured on the MT-15 and R15, adds to its traditional look.
Yamaha XSR 155 Features
In terms of characteristics, the Yamaha XSR 155 combines nostalgic appeal with current technology. It has a comprehensive all-LED lighting arrangement, featuring a circular LED headlamp and tail lamp to complement its traditional appearance. The instrument cluster is a retro-inspired full LCD digital panel that provides clear readouts while matching the bike’s old-school look.
On the technical front, the XSR 155 benefits from Yamaha’s Advanced Technology suite, which incorporates traction control for enhanced stability and the brand’s Motorcycle Connect system for smartphone-based connectivity. The presence of dual-channel ABS ensures assured braking performance over a wide range of road conditions.
