Yamaha Xsr155

The Yamaha Xsr155 has a top speed of approximately 130 km/h, produces 19.3 hp and weighs 134 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.

Die Yamaha XSR155 wurde 2019 eingeführt und zielt hauptsächlich auf südostasiatische Märkte wie Indonesien, Thailand und die Philippinen ab, wo Retro-Bikes mit kleinem Hubraum beliebt sind. Es teilt seine Plattform und seinen Motor mit dem Yamaha MT-15 und dem YZF-R15 und verbindet moderne Leistungstechnologie mit klassischem Neo-Retro-Design, das von den größeren Modellen XSR700 und XSR900 inspiriert ist. Bekannt wurde es durch die Einführung der Technologie mit variabler Ventilbetätigung (VVA) und einem sportlich inspirierten Fahrwerk in das Retro-Einstiegssegment.

Was Käufer wissen sollten

⚙️

Proven Reliable Engine

The XSR155 shares its 155cc VVA engine with the YZF-R15 and MT-15, a motor known for low maintenance needs and longevity when serviced regularly. Oil changes every 3,000–5,000 km are the main upkeep requirement.

⚠️

Watch for Fuel Pump Issues

Some owners report occasional fuel pump and fuel injector problems, especially in units exposed to low-quality fuel or left sitting unused for long periods. Always check for rough idling or hard starts before buying used.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The XSR155 holds its value well in Southeast Asian markets due to high demand for its retro styling and Yamaha's strong brand reputation. Well-maintained units typically retain 70–80% of their value after two years.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern

8.0/10
Am besten für
Urban commuters wanting style with genuine performance

"Best small retro available — just buy a clean, unmolested example."

$2,800-$4,500 used

The XSR155 is essentially a VVA-equipped MT-15 wearing a café-racer costume, and honestly that's not a bad thing. The 155cc single pulls surprisingly hard once the variable valve timing kicks in around 7,500rpm — you'll feel the surge and it never gets old in traffic. Build quality is genuinely impressive for the class; switchgear feels solid, the TFT dash is crisp, and Yamaha's reliability record on this engine is bulletproof. Used examples are popping up everywhere now, typically between 2-3 years old with 5,000-15,000km. Check for aftermarket exhausts fitted by boys who thought they were Valentino Rossi — they usually gut the baffle and kill low-end grunt. Inspect the front fork seals and rear shock linkage bearings; hard urban riding takes its toll. Tyres are often neglected on this class of bike, so budget for replacements immediately. The ergonomics split opinions. Clip-on style bars look period-correct but the riding position is more aggressive than the retro aesthetic suggests. Taller riders above 180cm will find it cramped on anything longer than a 45-minute commute.
