YAMAHA announced the XSR155 in Thailand, a new model based on the MT-15, so what is the difference between the MT-15 and the HONDA CB150R, which is also made in Thailand, and how to choose when buying a motorcycle?
XSR Vs CB-R
The XSR155 has the same style as the XSR700/900 with a new retro look, so from the moment it was launched it was often compared to the HONDA CB150R, which uses the Neo Sport Café as its design concept.
Although the XSR155 and CB150R are both designed for young riders who love neo-classical tastes, the XSR155 focuses more on classic styles, such as the teardrop fuel tank, brown saddle, and small LED round tail light, all of which show a somewhat similar yet different appearance to the CB150R.
It is equipped with a teardrop fuel tank, brown seat cushion, and LED lamps, showing a distinct retro style.
The twin brothers with completely different looks
As for the MT-15, it has a completely different style and design from the XSR155. The body lines of the MT-15 are as sharp as those of the MT series, and the overall look is full of street fighters.
The most admirable thing is YAMAHA’s design skills, because MT-15 is almost the same as XSR155 in terms of specifications and equipment, such as water-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine, DELTA BOX frame, inverted front fork, and center-mounted single-gun rear shock. They are all the same, but they are given a completely different but unique appearance through the hands of YAMAHA.
Therefore, if you take the aesthetics of appearance as a motorcycle purchase consideration, I think XSR155 and MT-15 are very beautiful. If you like sharp lines, choose MT-15. If you want nostalgic atmosphere, you can't miss XSR155.
I like sharp lines and want to bring a little retro style. The CB150R, which uses the Neo Sport Café as the concept, is your one-time choice.
Using the Neo Sport Café as the concept, the CB-R model series that continues to grow in CB1000R, CB650R, CB300R, CB250R, CB150R, and CB125R models are launched.
In any case, the three motorcycles equipped with inverted front forks, mid-mounted single-shot rear shock, full LCD dashboard and water-cooled single-cylinder engine are all new generation street motorcycles that cannot be ignored at this stage in the white label class.
