  • Yamaha Fascino 113cc Scooter Launched

    Yamaha continues to bet big on scooters as it launched its fourth scooter in India, the Fascino. The company wants every second 2-wheeler being sold in India from its dealerships to be a scooter.


    The Yamaha Fascino is a 113cc scooter with retro styling

    Yamaha has launched a new scooter in the Indian market, called the Fascino. A quick Google search for the words “Yamaha Fascino” reveal that the same name was used by the company for a fashion contest and a calendar with the same name was also launched. Now Yamaha has used the Fascino name on a scooter and it’s a retro looking model like the Piaggio Vespa. Fascino stands for fashion and the company claims it has comfortable seats, a large footboard and the engine is equipped with Yamaha’ Blue Core technology to help achieve a mileage of 66 km/l, under ideal test conditions of course. This is the highest claimed mileage on a scooter in India.
    The Yamaha Fascino is priced at Rs. 52,500/- (ex-showroom, Delhi) and comes in 5 colours – red, cobalt, white, cyan and black. Power comes in from the same 113cc, air-cooled, 2-valve engine that powers the Ray, Ray Z and Alpha, the other scooters in Yamaha’s lineup. The single-cylinder powerplant produces 7.1 PS of power at 7500 RPM and 8.1 Nm of torque at 5000 RPM, matched to a V-Belt automatic transmission. It is equipped with an underbone chassis and has drum brakes at both ends, the tyre size being 90/100/10 at both the front and rear.
    The Yamaha Fascino weighs 103 kgs and is 1815 mm long, 675 mm wide and 1120 mm tall. The wheelbase is 1270 mm while the minimum ground clearance is 128 mm and the fuel tank capacity is 5.2-litres. The seat height of this Japanese scooter is 775 mm. While many were expecting Yamaha to launch a 125cc scooter, the company continues to launch new scooters with the same engine as its first scooter, the Ray. Meanwhile, the attractive pricing of the Yamaha Fascino is sure to be a threat to Piaggio who manage to sell around 2000 units of the Vespa every month.

    Topic Approved.

    90 Section tyre should be helpful for Grip. Price seems okayish, but I see a hint of Retro type styling, somewhat like Vespa.

    So, are they challenging Vespa with this? Well, time will tell.

    The company wants every second 2-wheeler being sold in India from its dealerships to be a scooter.
    Oh my God.
    Well, I guess in the end, even if lesser efficient, lesser performing vehicles fill their coffers, I guess who'll mind it?

    No offence meant, I know these Scooters are more comfortable and all...

      Ppl are getting lazier day by day. So they prefer autoscoots. Jampacked traffic doesnt help the matter either.

      The scooter does look good. I guess it would apeal as an alternative to vespa

        Seems like a blend between Classic and Modern.
        12" Alloy wheels and Tubeless tires would have sealed the deal here(Ray and Alpha dont have TL tires, hence my guess)

          Vespa kind of styling from Yamaha. Yamaha is only focusing on lower segment to increase numbers

            Good styling. The tyres should have been bigger. The 110cc scooter is really a crowded segment, I feel.

              I am sure, this will be a hit amongst youth. Personally, I love the front headlamp styling. The front and rear indicators look a bit out of proportion. Activa inspired tail lamp??

              Sometimes pictures don't do justice to the overall product.

                Design looks good but I had expected at least 125cc. Maybe they are not willing to spend time and money on a new engine and want to continue with the same engine.

                  Looks like a confusing product positioning. They are targeting Vespa customer but there is no royality or premium-ness in Fascino (No tubeless tyres, standard drum brakes, boring speedometer assembly, powerless engine etc etc) and the price bracket is in range of regular Honda and TVS scooters. Why so much emphasis on italian design and styling "icon" then?

                    Sorry for the OT but does that mean R3/R25 is still a wet dream for Indian consumers or are we still hopeful?

                          I somehow feel that R25/R3 could be unveiled in India before the festive season. Let's wait for 4-5 months and the picture will be clearer.

                            Ha ha...Dada, we've been waiting for the last god-knows-when and Yamaha, my favourite brand, is launching only scooters and facelifted, read new colour schemed, R15s and FZs. We really need some better bikes from Yamaha stable but then... fingers crossed.

                            Ride a motorcycle if you want to live free, but above all ride it safe and make others' lives safe.
