Is there any information about the Yamaha XSR 155's launch in India? If yes, when will it be launched? I am eagerly waiting for that bike as I don't like any other bike in that segment and price range.

Shiva Sai Nath Chittipolu, via email

Autocar India says: The last time we received an update from Yamaha regarding the XSR 155 was during the FZ-X launch in 2021. At that time, we asked the company officials what their plan was for the XSR 155. We were told that Yamaha was aware of the customer interest in the XSR, but had instead decided to make the FZ-X to meet that demand in India. You can read more about that here.

There has always been a high level of interest in the Yamaha XSR 155 in India and considering how popular the Yamaha R15 V4 and even the MT-15 are, it is surprising that Yamaha has not considered the XSR for our market. However, given the rather lacklustre response to the FZ-X in the past two years, there is still hope that Yamaha may reconsider. For now, however, hope is all you have as the company has not made any official statements regarding an India launch for the XSR155.
