This custom Yamaha XSR1 155 has been created by Yasashii Garage for the 2021 Yamaha Yard Built Indonesia event
‘Yamaha Yard Built’ is an event dedicated to customised Yamaha bikes (more often, the XSR range). For its 2021 iteration in Indonesia, Yasashii Garage has come up with a futuristic scrambler-take on the Yamaha XSR 155.
The neo-retro roadster’s stock bodywork had been replaced by hand-built aluminium panels with plenty of angular creases to give it a futuristic appeal. The inverted front fork arms are covered by large aluminium shrouds with bold Yasashii stickers. The round LED headlamp has been replaced by a small LED unit with a large flat cowl to go with the overall design theme of the bike. Don’t expect it to be as powerful as a regular headlight, though.
For a sporty, clutter-free look, the bike comes with a single seat with an integrated cowl and a number plate holder with LED indicators. Franky Mory, the man behind the custom, has given the bike a rather unique rear suspension setup. The stock swingarm is replaced by a custom unit with a complex linkage mechanism for the horizontally mounted monoshock, sitting in parallel above the swingarm itself. The rear disc also gets a ventilated shroud to complete the look.

They’ve also equipped the bike with a custom underbelly exhaust to ensure one can get an unobstructed view of the rear suspension. The Yamaha R15-derived 155cc 19.3PS/14.7Nm single-cylinder motor with Variable Valve Actuation is likely to be stock apart from the exhaust system.
While the alloy wheels are unchanged, they are painted in grey and wrapped with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber at both ends for optimum off-road performance. Overall, this is one of the more creative builds of the XSR 155 we’ve seen. What do you think?

- roller coaster of emotionsSeeing this bike for the first time on road was nothing short of fabulous and i decided to buy it, the next day only, my personal experience has a lot of ups and down. - week 1 gear shifting was buttery smooth bus after 500kms it got stiff and rigid - mirrors do not suit the bike at all - very impressive performance - 10/10 road presence - suspension is slightly rigid in city commute - riding posture is a mix of sporty and aggressive - engine feels very smooth yet powerful at the same time overall the experience has been great, if you are looking for a bike for daily commute with a punch of power and occasional long rides, would 100% recommend buying it eyes closed, more importantly if you want a bike that makes you smile when you look at it, go for it.Read More13 8
- This bike is awesome and stableI choose this bike because of performance and mileage. Everything is perfect in the bike and the look and design is really awesome. It looks like a racer bike. This bike suit me a lot because I am 5.6. The performance of this bike is really awesome. I can play with this bike and this is really awesome for cruising or for racing because it has high performance gears and stability of the bike is awesome. I will recommend this to buy because I get sufficient mileage for city rides and if I want to go to highway, I can get around 36 to 37 which is really nice for long tours and rides. It comes with very less weight.Read More5 5
