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.

Game Changer
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.
