1. Yamaha XSR 155 – Old-School Swagger Meets New-Age Fun
Launch: July 2025
Price: ₹1.36–1.50 Lakh
This isn't just a bike—it's a fashion statement on wheels. The XSR 155 nails the retro-cool look while packing a lively 155cc engine (19.3 PS & 14.7 Nm) and a smooth 6-speed box. Expect solid mileage (around 45 kmpl), LED bits, and a clean digital dash.
Why It's a Win: Eye-catching design, nimble city handling, and that Yamaha reliability legacy.

Why It's a Win: Outstanding fuel economy, sharp looks, and friendly pricing.
Heads-Up: Light on bells and whistles, and not built for speed demons.
