Yamaha launches updated XSR 155 motorcycle in two new colour options

A new, slightly updated XSR 155 has been unveiled by Yamaha's Indonesian division in the country. Two new paint schemes are available for the neo-retro motorcycle this time around. Yamaha's first Grand Prix victory is commemorated by the 2022 XSR 155 60th Anniversary shades.

This version features the iconic red design on a white base body that goes well with the golden Y-shaped alloy wheels. Added to the model's modernity is the golden finish on the upside-down front forks. On the fuel tank top, side panels, and front fender, a splash of red is seen while the circular headlamp gets a black casing.

A black finish is also used on the engine area, exhaust canister, and seat. XSR graphics on the fuel tank complement Matte Dark Blue Authentic striking design with blacked-out bits. There are also blackened headlamp casings, grey side panels, a tail lamp, an exhaust system, a front fender, a seat, alloy wheels, an engine guard, etc.

It develops a maximum power output of 19.3 PS at 10,000 rpm and 14.7 Nm of peak torque delivered at 8,500 rpm.
