Value for Money

This is the most beautiful scooter on the market, period. But it's also one of the most uncomfortable ones. The suspension is just terrible for our roads. I love looking at it, but I don't always enjoy riding it. It's a classic love-hate relationship.

Elegant and Understated

I love the chrome highlights and the classic design. It doesn't shout for attention like other sporty scooters. It has a very elegant and mature look. The build quality feels solid too. A very classy machine.

Side stand sensor is a great safety feature

The engine doesn't start if the side stand is down. This is a very important safety feature that can prevent accidents. I am happy Yamaha has included this as standard.

Perfect Blend of Style and Mileage

If you want a scooter that looks stylish and is also very light on the pocket, this is it. The Fascino is the perfect combination of beautiful design and excellent fuel efficiency. I just love riding it.

Handles Like a Dream!

Because it's so lightweight, this scooter is amazing to handle. You can filter through the worst traffic with ease. It feels very agile and quick to change directions. It is very fun to ride in the city.

A Simple, No-Fuss Scooter

If you want a simple point-A to point-B scooter that looks good and saves petrol, the Fascino is a great choice. It doesn't have fancy features but it does the basic things really well.

Braking is not confidence inspiring

The brakes feel spongy and lack the bite I expected. Under hard braking, it doesn't feel very stable. A better braking setup is needed for safety, especially with the disc variant. I dont feel safe during panic braking.

Headlight is absolutely useless

The LED headlight on my disc variant looks modern but provides very poor visibility at night. The light spread is not good and it's a major safety hazard on dark roads. I am planning to install auxiliary lights.

A Solid City Commuter

It does its job perfectly. Takes me from home to office without any fuss. Gives great mileage, is easy to handle, and looks good. What more do you need for daily city travel? Very satisfied.

My Detailed 1-Year Ownership Review

I've ridden my Fascino 125 for 12,000 km in one year, and here's my honest take. The Unbeatable: The design is its biggest strength. It's a timeless, classic look that stands out. The second best thing is the mileage. I consistently get 53-55 kmpl in Bangalore traffic, which is a massive saving. The 99 kg weight makes it incredibly nimble and easy to manage. The Good: The 125cc engine is very smooth and refined. The silent start (SMG) is a premium feature that I love. The engine stop-start system works well, though I sometimes turn it off in heavy traffic. The Compromises: The biggest compromise is comfort. The suspension is STIFF. While this helps in handling, it makes rides on bad roads very jarring. The second issue is practicality. The underseat storage is inadequate for a full-face helmet, and the lack of an external fuel filler is a constant annoyance. The OK: Performance is adequate for a solo rider in the city but feels strained with a pillion or on steep inclines. Braking is decent but not exceptional. Verdict: The Fascino is for someone who prioritizes style and mileage above everything else. If your commute is on good roads and you ride solo, it's a fantastic, economical, and stylish choice. However, if you need comfort, practicality for family use, or features, you should consider its competitors like the Access 125 or Jupiter 125.

Smooth and Silent Operator

The best thing about this scooter is the engine. It's super smooth, has no vibrations and the silent start feature feels so premium. The ride is very peaceful and relaxing.
