Introduction In Yamaha XRS 155
The Yamaha XSR 155 which is a small scale version of their retro theme set it is a product of Yamaha’s “Sport Heritage” range which looks to the past for inspiration but is built for today’s rider. It is a take on the larger XSR700 and XSR900 models but with a focus on the young rider and the city. Under the hood is a 155cc VVA engine which also powers the R15 and MT-15 this brings to the XSR 155 great performance features like responsive pick up, excellent fuel economy, and very smooth power delivery. For those into the look of classic design or for the rider that wants a good looking no nonsense every day machine the XSR 155 does not disappoint.
Design
- Yamaha’s approach for the XSR 155 is to present classic style with modern twists:.
- Round LED headlamp that has a classic yet modern look which also includes the latest in lighting technology.
- Drop tank which gives it a classic vintage look.
- Digital display cluster that fits into a classic round housing.
- Chunky tires and lightweight aluminum swingarm for a stable and sleek look.
- Wide bar setup and upright posture which is for a more relaxed ride.
Also we have a choice of attractive heritage style colors like matte black, green, and gray which we paired with classic accent trims. Attention to detail from the seat stitching to the tank badges is given which gives it a high end personality that is rare in the 150cc class.
