Yamaha Fascino – Road Test Review

The Pros: Stylish retro looks, refined and responsive engine along with decent mileage , tyres provide sufficient grip and also good feedback from brakes. 

The Cons: Less storage space, suspensions are stiff, low seat height gives problem to tall riders.  

The Crux: Overall beautiful looking scooter, lack of some basic features. Best for those customers who choose style over function.

Rating

When I was in college, I loved riding around the city on a scooter, well to be honest, I still do. There’s something about riding a scooter that brings out the child like fun in riding a two wheeler. Well Yamaha have tried to rekindle not only the joy of riding a scooter, but have also gone with a retro look. Here is the Yamaha Fascino.

Verdict: Overall, the Fascino is a beautiful looking scooter. It may lack a few features compared to its competition but then again it’s a choice of style over function. The Fascino is basically a stylised retro version of the Yamaha Ray. It’s priced at Rs. 65,000 (on-road Mumbai). It’s Rs. 6,000 more than the Ray and about Rs. 2,500 more than the Yamaha Alpha. It’s also a lot less than a Vespa. So if your pocket is a little light but you really want a retro styled scooter, then take a look at the Yamaha Fascino.
