- An overview about Yamaha Saluto 125It's a great commuter bike which is very much ideal for the city commutes and occasional highway rides even if it's a commuter bike it could able to sustain speeds upto 70km/hr in highway without any any struggle and it is a great mile muncher and I've done 2 lakh kms in this bike and it is still giving me a mileage average of 67 to 70kmpl and the aftermarket support is also good and service is very good in the showroom and service centre and in overall it's a very good bike and it's a bummer Yamaha discontinued this bike.Read More

- Best Bike In This Price RangeI bought this bike on 02 Jul 2015. Till now, I don't have any problem regarding the engine and its electrical system. Yet, I have a very common issue with the speedometer cable. The mileage is good. Since I used this bike in hilly areas it gives me around 50kmpl. I hope it will last 7 more years without any major repair. But, one should know that I take very good care of it. Without caring, nothing will last long. Yamaha Saluto is the best in its price range.Read More1
