2019 Yamaha XSR 155 launched in Thailand, RM12k

New entry into the Thailand market is the 2019 Yamaha XSR 155, priced at 91,500 Thai baht (RM12,364). This naked sports comes in retro styling and is targetted to the young rider looking for something different from the Yamaha MT-15 or YZF-R15.

Carrying the Yamaha VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) liquid-cooled, single-cylinder power plant displacing 155 cc, Yamaha Thailand did not supply any power or torque numbers for the XSR 155. However, based on the R15 which comes with a similar engine, a figure of 19.3 hp with 15 Nm of torque would not be out of the question.

Fuelling is by EFI while power gets tot the ground via a six-speed gearbox and chain final drive. 10 litres of fuel is carried in the tank while seat height is 810 mm off the ground and the XSR 155 has a claimed weight of 134 kg.

Suspension is with telescopic forks in front and a monoshock at the back, adjustable for preload. Braking is done with a single disc front and rear, with hydraulic callipers.

There are four colour options for the 2019 Yamaha XSR 155 – Premium Grey, White/Red Sports Heritage, Black Elegance and Green Wanderlust. Rolling on 17-inch alloy wheels, the XSR 155 is shod with 110/70 rubber in front and 140/70 at the back.

      That’s why Yamaha is the most stolen brand in Malaysia. Every thief knows it easy to share parts, no need to check what Yamaha to steal.

        2017 – kapcai price at RM 4000
        2019 – kapcai price at RM 12,000

        NAP and NEP have existed long ago so how come price increase? Reason is PH missmanagement.

    • Maybe we should create a Facebook group or Page specifically for Malaysian XSR enthusiast eg. XSR Lover Malaysia etc.

      We need XSR 155, 700 and 900 in Malaysia too.

      Thanks

    This is basically a R15 with retro clothes. You can see the chassis, engine, fork, brakes are exactly the same.

      China car and China moto usually got no quality. After the hype if over, sales will collapse. Like Demak. The same will happen to China made cars by Proton

      Both usd and conventional forks are called telescopic forks.Unless you referring to leading arm suspension which are obsolete.Most pre 80s cubs uses this.Look at old C70 or Yamaha super 88..

    So sad, I just bought a CMC Daytona 250.
    But, I guess when it does come to Malaysia, it would cost RM15k

  • Modenas NS200 would be a cheaper (RM9000) and better (200cc) buy…

    Get the 250/300cc to fight against cb250r/cb300r. 155cc won’t sell well as most will opt. for NS200 as it is cheaper. *fingers crossed*
