- comfort or classic feelClassic 350 mere liye ek comfortable aur enjoyable bike hai. Iska classic look kaafi premium lagta hai aur riding bhi smooth feel hoti hai. Long rides me comfort achha rehta hai. Pickup, handling aur exhaust sound bhi mast hain. Overall bike ka experience kaafi satisfying hai. I love to ride this bike.Read More
- __________I driven this scooter in Thailand. I wish it would be the same when it comes to India, mostly they reduce the power and might make it slow, but I'm still waiting for it. Its like a bike that's all it matters to me. I might tuned it though and might change alot of parts so it operates max with its power.Read More
- fascino 2026 scootyi like yamaha fascino cause it has a awesome styling scooty and comfortable, it has good fuel efficiency more than that because of stock availablity in nearby showroom reliability for long term use purpose. So far the ride is good negative spaint quality of the scooty is bad as it has rust on fastener of cooling within 2 week may be because of i live on a high humidity area it has engine vibration on footrest on 70 speed not much noticable, bit it has foot board not satisfying good bootspace lacks a glove box positives fuel efficiency is top class, good performance lightweight scooty, helps in traffic has good riding feel if you dont go above 70 enough seat space, good headlight, good design. Recommendable scooty for those who are looking for a good fuel efficient and comfort scooty, comfortable but i wish it has more foot space not recommended for those who only expect powerfull performance not recommended for tall riders and who expect a best of value scooty.Read More
