Yamaha has just introduced a special anniversary colour scheme for the popular XSR 155 motorcycle — celebrating the brand’s rich motorsport legacy and giving the neo-retro roadster an eye-catching new look that every style-conscious rider will love.
What’s New?
The 2026 Yamaha XSR 155 now wears a 70th Anniversary special colour inspired by Yamaha’s historic racing machines from the 1990s. The paint job highlights a classic red and white combination — a tribute to iconic race bikes like the legendary YZF-R7 — complete with heritage-style graphics and gold tuning fork logos.
This new colour gives the XSR 155 an even stronger retro vibe, perfectly matching its neo-classic design and broad appeal among riders who value both style and authenticity.
Design Details
-
Classic Racing Hues: Red and white paint with striking graphics.
-
Gold Accents: Yamaha tuning fork logos add a premium heritage touch.

Retro Neo-Roadster DNA: Complements the round LED headlight, teardrop tank, and clean lines of the XSR 155.
