Yamaha XSR155: Neo-retro roadster
Yamaha has launched the XSR155 in India at an introductory ex-showroom price tag of ₹1.49 lakh. Based on the R15 V4’s underpinnings, the Yamaha XSR155 is built as a neo-retro roadster with style cues derived from its bigger-capacity XSR siblings.

The XSR155 comes with round LED headlamp and taillight units, while switching out the R15’s clip-ons for high-set handlebars, allowing upright ergonomics. The bike features a teardrop-shaped fuel tank that leads to a scrambler-style single-piece seat, while the rider gets a straightforward LCD instrument cluster. The 155 cc single-cylinder engine lies exposed underneath, followed by a slightly upswept exhaust pipe.
What is the Yamaha XSR155 powered by?
The XSR155 is built on the R15 V4’s platform, carrying over its 155 cc liquid-cooled 4-valve single-cylinder engine housed within the deltabox frame. Mated to a 6-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch, the motor delivers 18.1 bhp and 14 Nm of peak torque. This is a tried-and-tested power unit, known for its tractability and reliability across Yamaha’s 155 cc range.
What are the Yamaha XSR155's chassis and hardware details?
The deltabox frame is held up by USD front forks and a link-type rear monoshock, while the bike rides on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in dual-purpose tyres. Stopping power comes from disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS.
The XSR155 stands with a 175 mm ground clearance and offers an approachable seat height of 810 mm. It weighs in at 134 kg with the 10.4-litre fuel tank full.

Yamaha FZ Rave: Aggressive streetfighter expands the FZ range
Yamaha also launched the FZ Rave streetfighter for the Indian market with a starting ex-showroom price tag of ₹1,17,218 (ex-showroom). Breaking cover alongside the XSR155, the Yamaha FZ Rave expands on the FZ streetbike family with an aggressive design and urban-centric performance. It features a full-LED projector headlamp with a position lamp, while the headlamp cowl is flanked by cosmetic air vents extending from a sculpted fuel tank. This leads down to a single-piece seat on an upswept rear end.
The FZ Rave is powered by the 149 cc single-cylinder motor that does duties in the rest of the FZ lineup. This air-cooled unit is paired with a 5-speed gearbox and makes 12.2 bhp and 13.3 Nm of peak torque. The engine is housed within a deltabox frame held up by telescopic front forks and a rear shock. With its 13-litre fuel tank, the streetfighter weighs in at 136 kg.
Its tech suite remains fairly simple with a negative LCD instrument cluster and single-channel ABS that supports disc brakes on both ends. The FZ Rave will be available in one variant and two colour options: Matte Titan and Metallic Black.
