Yamaha XSR 155 Retro-Styled Motorcycle Officially Unveiled
We informed you earlier that Yamaha is readying 2 brand new XSR cafe racer motorcycles, which will be based on the R15 and the R3. The company has now introduced the new Yamaha XSR 155 retro-styled motorcycle, which joins the Yamah XSR family of retro classic. The XSR motorcycles are known for their retro-modern styling and technology.
The Yamaha XSR 155 Cafe Racer has finally been launched in Thailand at Rs 91,500 bahts (approximately Rs 2 lakh). The new motorcycle will go on sale in other South Asian markets as well. Yamaha is already selling the R15 V3 and the MT-15 motorcycles in our market. We believe that this model could arrive in our market in near future as the demand for such motorcycles are on rise.
The Yamaha XSR 155 cafe racer is based on the R15 V3 platform, which also underpins the MT-15 street fighter. So, it will be easy for the Japanese brand to manufacture the retro classic motorcycle locally. The new motorcycle also comes with a set of accessories, which can be transformed into the scrambler.
