It now joins the newly introduced Metallic Black at the top of the range. The Metallic Grey variant has become costlier by Rs 7,000 and is priced at Rs 1.57 lakh, while the Vivid Red version has seen a Rs 3,000 hike and now costs Rs 1.53 lakh (all prices ex-showroom).The XSR 155 is built on the same platform as the Yamaha R15 and MT-15.
