Yamaha XSR 155 Motorcycle Receives Price Revision and New Colour Option in India
Yamaha Motor India has implemented a significant price increase for its recently launched XSR 155 motorcycle, marking a strategic adjustment little over three months after the model's introduction to the Indian market. This pricing revision comes alongside the expansion of the colour palette with a sophisticated new Metallic Black finish, enhancing the overall appeal of the neo-retro motorcycle.
Revised Pricing Structure and New Metallic Black Variant
The motorcycle continues to be available in a single trim level, but the revised pricing now varies considerably based on the selected colour scheme. In a notable development, Yamaha has introduced a premium Metallic Black finish to the lineup. This new variant is priced at Rs 1.59 lakh (ex-showroom) and features a distinctive gold-finished USD front fork, similar to the existing Metallic Blue variant.
With this addition, the XSR 155 is now offered in a total of five colour options, providing greater customization choices for Indian consumers. The introduction of Metallic Black represents Yamaha's effort to cater to diverse aesthetic preferences while maintaining the motorcycle's classic design ethos.
