Yamaha Sz-rr 150 Review

Used Buyer Review

The SZ-RR 150 is Yamaha's answer to the commuter-sport segment, and honestly it does that job pretty well without pretending to be something it isn't. The 153cc air-cooled single pulls cleanly through the midrange, fuel economy is genuinely impressive around 50-55mpg, and the semi-digital instrument cluster feels a cut above rivals at this price point. Build quality is typical Yamaha — solid, predictable, nothing to complain about after 20,000km if it's been reasonably maintained. Buying used, check the carburetor first. These develop flat spots and hesitation if the previous owner used ethanol-blended fuel without properly flushing it. Also inspect the rear suspension linkage — it takes a beating on rough roads and worn bushings make the bike feel sloppy. The 153cc motor is essentially bulletproof otherwise, so don't be scared off by higher mileage units if the service history checks out. Parts availability is decent in most markets where this bike was sold.
