                  Excellent. If you want to experience Yamaha .
                  Smooth , great looking . For great experience. I sold my honda shine bike to buy this Yamaha xsr . Test drive is available into any showroom . I am sure you will not be disappointed. Performance is so good . It's mileage is good but not the best as other 150cc bikes . Journey is comfortable than other completely. I experienced so many bikes , but xsr is not doubt different from others. I suggest this type of bike always. I like this byke for it's great look . Yamaha xsr is a roadstar. You do not waste you're time to choice the bike and compare with same cc other bikes . I choose this type of vehicle because it's flat type seat and comfortable journey.

                  Waiting for the launch of this retro style bike. Looks good for the Hills as well. I will book this bike pre- launch. Hope the price is made reachable for all old and young . Reason for liking this bike is because its light, adequately safe , low seat height and the YAMAHA brand. Hope the price is reduced.
