The Yamaha XSR 155 Custom Red is a one-off build on the XSR 155: candy-red tank on a blacked-out bike, bar-end mirrors, a stitched custom seat with a passenger pad and an aftermarket XSR155 slip-on exhaust. Same 155cc, 19 HP engine and light chassis as the standard XSR — the difference is how it looks and how it sounds.

Upright, narrow and light, exactly like a stock XSR 155: forgiving in Canggu traffic, easy to park, happy on the coast road. The slip-on gives it a deeper voice without being loud, and the bar-end mirrors actually show what is behind you. Power is honest 19 HP — plenty for the island, unhurried on long climbs two-up.

For riders who want the café-racer look without the café-racer discomfort — a bike that gets photographed at every stop but still has an upright seat and a light clutch. A good first manual bike. Not for speed and not for long days with a passenger.

Two helmets and a phone holder are included, with free delivery within 20 km. Optional insurance, a new helmet, an action camera and moto armour can be added before you book.

This is a custom build, so we ask for a little more care with the paint and the seat than on a standard XSR, and the price is a step above the stock red XSR 155. If the look does not matter, the standard XSR 155 Red gives the same ride for less.
