Yamaha Motors Philippines launches the much-awaited XSR155
Yamaha’s newest Neo-Retro bike is finally here.
The Yamaha XSR155 has been one of those motorcycles that a lot of people were uncertain if it would be arriving in our country and yet highly anticipated its arrival.

The wait is over, Yamaha Motors Philippines have invited a few media members and friends for the official launch of the all-new XSR155.

True to Yamaha’s Faster Sons design philosophy, the XSR155, just like its bigger siblings, is an extremely customizable machine, with bolt-on parts and accessories making it easy to strip down and make your own true expression of yourself with a rideable machine that’s perfect for the Philippines. It is now available in the Yamaha Flagship Shop, the YZONE, and Yamaha Rev Zones nationwide with a selling price of P162,000. Its color options come in either Garage Metal or Tech Black.
