Colours To Look Out For
|
What is it?
- A retro-modern roadster powered by the same engine as the Yamaha R15 V4 and MT-15 V2.0
- The 2025 Yamaha XSR155 looks larger than its engine size suggests. Much like how the R15 looks like a larger sportsbike.
- Retro design is executed cleanly with a round headlight, single piece seat and minimalist lines.
- Yamaha’s also offering two distinct accessory packages: Scrambler and Café Racer.
- The Scrambler pack offers bar-end mirrors, rubber tank pads, a more padded seat, and different side panels.
- On the other hand, the Cafe Racer version gets a headlight cowl, a different seat, and lever protectors. We really love the cafe racer kit, but we wish it came with the bar-end mirrors.

Engine Talk — Expect Fun!
The XSR155 is powered by the same engine that’s also available in the Yamaha MT-15 V2 and R15 V4. This engine is praised for its peppy acceleration and free-revving nature and you should expect more of the same in the XSR 155 too.

Our Take — Who Should Consider It?
In our opinion, the Yamaha XSR155 makes for a good choice for those looking to buy an affordable retro bike with Japanese engineering. While it looks retro, its R15-backed powertrain and modern underpinnings should make it a fun-to-ride. This coupled with the easy-going riding posture should also go a long way in ensuring it appeals to a wide range of buyers.
If you want a similarly priced bike with a larger engine, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 might be worth considering, here's a detailed specifications comparison between the two. Another retro rival in the same price bracket is the TVS Ronin top variant, and here's how the XSR155 stacks up against it.
If you're looking for a cheaper retro bike from the brand, you can consider the Yamaha FZ-X. Here's a detailed breakdown of the top 5 differences between the FZ-X and the Yamaha XSR155. Yamaha has announced its future plans, and here’s all you need to know about it.

- 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 More11 6
- 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 More4 3
