Trending Questions on Yamaha XSR155 - Answered by Autocar Experts
Respected Autocar India team, I have been riding a scooter for around six years now and wish to upgrade to a bike. I am 182 cm tall. I am looking for a beginner-to-intermediate bike with dual-channel ABS and good braking, reasonable suspension, smooth clutch (preferably assist and slipper), good mileage (around 35-50 kmpl), low maintenance, a decent headlamp, and confidence in corners with reasonable spare part costs. I am fond of the MT-15 - do you think an updated version could be launched? Other bikes I’ve considered are the Bajaj NS200, TVS NS400Z, and Harley-Davidson N160. I’ve also considered the Honda CB350 series and the RTR 310, but the cost margins are high. I feel the NS400Z is a good trade-off. What would your experts suggest?
Considering your stature, in the Yamaha stable, instead of the MT-15, we'd recommend looking at the new XSR155. While both are mechanically near-identical, the XSR is a more spacious machine than the MT. Since this will be your first bike, the XSR will prove to be the most manageable and approachable. Thanks to its lighter weight and unintimidating power output.
The Bajaj Pulsar N160 you're considering is a good option, but it will be the slowest of all the bikes you've shortlisted. However, if all you're going to do is potter around town, then getting the Pulsar makes sense as it is the most city-friendly bike here.
Coming to the two Pulsar NS models, the NS200 will feel quite sporty and engaging while still being friendly enough for city use. However, the bigger NS400Z isn't the most city-friendly machine. Also, it will return lower fuel economy owing to its larger engine.
The Honda CB350 models are very different to ride, thanks to their neo-retro leanings. It will be the most comfortable and relaxed machine of all the bikes you're considering. Lastly, the TVS Apache RTR 310 is actually quite a capable do-it-all machine, and will give you room to grow as a rider, too.
Since you are considering multiple bikes with different riding styles and at very different price points, we'd recommend you first decide on your budget. After that, choose within that range accordingly. Also, take a thorough test ride of everything you shortlist.
I have owned a scooter for about three years and now want to upgrade to a motorcycle of my own. I haven’t ridden a bike before, but I am familiar with how bikes work. I am 183 cm (about 6 ft) tall and want a bike with decent mileage in the range of 40-50 kmpl. I’ve been considering the Yamaha MT-15, but I feel there could be a newer version with better pillion space (still waiting on that). Since the price of the MT-15 approaches the 250-350 cc range, I’ve also liked bikes such as the Honda CB350 and the H’ness. I’d appreciate help choosing a bike that fits my needs, along with a list of suitable options. Thank you.
Since you are a taller person, we would recommend you look at the Yamaha XSR155 instead of the MT-15 as the XSR is a more spacious machine which will be useful to you. For a similar price, you will also get larger machines like the Bajaj Pulsar N250, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and Honda CB300F. It will offer you better performance at the expense of a small hit as far as fuel efficiency is concerned.
Since you have mentioned that you are considering the Honda CB350 models. Do bear in mind that these are relaxed neo-retro roadsters which will offer you a more laidback riding experience and good comfort levels. Although fuel economy will be quite a bit lower than that of the smaller bikes we have mentioned above. It is also worth taking a look at the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 because it offers a similar experience to the CB350 but at a lower price and has comparable fuel economy and performance, too.
A test ride of every bike you shortlist will help you make a decision.
Hey there, I am confused between the Hero Extreme 160R 4V (with cruise control) and the Yamaha XSR 155. I’m a college student and want a bike for daily commuting, with enough power for hill rides, affordable service costs, and good fuel economy. Right now I’m leaning more toward the Extreme 160R 4V but I’m still unsure. Can you help clarify which one I should choose?
The Hero Xtreme 160R 4V is a sporty commuter which has a feature no other competitor in the segment does - cruise control. It has a reasonably peppy and smooth engine, good suspension and is quite a comfortable machine overall, even for taller people. It will also return good fuel economy, and Hero machines are generally known to be affordable to own and maintain. It is also quite a bit more affordable than the XSR155, so if your budget is tight, then it makes for a good option to consider.
Coming to the Yamaha XSR155, this is a far more modern machine in terms of its engine architecture and its chassis design, using proven fundamentals from the R15 in a neo-retro package. The XSR is sure to be the quicker, better-handling machine while also returning comparable fuel economy to the Xtreme. Yamaha's aren't known to be expensive to live with either, but since the XSR has a more complex powertrain, its running costs could be a little higher than the simpler Hero.
Both are different machines from distinct segments, so we would urge you to go get a test ride of them so you can make an informed decision.
I am 5 feet 7 inches tall, weigh 60 kg, and currently ride a Hunter 350. While I love its looks, I find it too heavy for Bangalore traffic and miss the light and agile feel of the RX 135. Your recent review of the Yamaha XSR155 has caught my attention as a potential replacement. Will the 810mm seat height and stiff suspension be manageable in stop-and-go traffic? Does the XSR155 offer the kind of flickable experience that modern 350cc bikes lack, or should I stick with the Hunter for its lower centre of gravity?
Between the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Yamaha XSR155 and TVS Ronin, which is best for city riding?
I want to upgrade to a new bike in the 150 to 200cc range. I weigh 58kg and prefer a lightweight bike like the Shine SP. I want a stylish, retro-looking bike that offers good comfort for city commuting. I do not do long rides or off-road riding. I have a family, so pillion comfort is important, and a child may sit in front. I do not want a regular Shine, Pulsar or Unicorn. I like bikes such as the Hunter and Triumph, but they seem heavy for me. Please suggest suitable options.
I work in industrial product sales and travel around 80km daily. My budget for a bike is ₹2.5 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
I am looking for a lightweight motorcycle under a Rs 2 lakh budget for short weekend rides to nearby destinations. I like the Yamaha XSR155. Is it suitable for two riders in terms of rear seat comfort, or should I consider other options?
Hi, I am looking for a bike I can ride for occasional long drives as well as city riding. I’m 44 years old and want to start my passion for long drives. I’m considering bikes like Hunter 350 and Honda 350 but also want something with good mileage. I’m 5'5" and the Yamaha XSR 155 looks good with a retro feel and lower cost. Please suggest.
The Yamaha XSR155 will make for a welcoming partner for someone who wants to start riding long distances. It has excellent fuel economy, engaging performance and is also quite lightweight. Do bear in mind that over bad roads, your back will hurt after a while because of its stiff rear suspension.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a more relaxed machine than the XSR in terms of its performance and handling on account of being heavier and being powered by a soulful yet simple air-cooled engine. The Hunter will be more comfortable than the XSR, but it will also return lower fuel economy.
Another option to consider if you're looking at these two bikes is the TVS Ronin.
To make an informed decision, take a test ride of all three bikes before you decide.
