India Yamaha Motors has launched their latest offering, the Fascino scooter at Rs 52,500 (ex-showroom Delhi). This new scooter is a premium offering from the Japanese manufacturer and is targeted at the youth.
Cosmetically, the Fascino looks very trendy and classic. The overall design looks quite similar to the Nozza Grande, however, the design has been restyled to suit the Indian taste. With a kerb weight of 103kg, it is the lightest Yamaha scooter to be sold in India. The Yamaha Fascino is available in five colours – rouge red, sassy cyan, haute white, cool cobalt and tuxedo black.
The Fascino is powered by an air-cooled four-stroke 113cc blue core engine, with a continuous variable transmission (CVT). The company claims an ARAI fuel efficiency of 66kmpl for this scooter, which is pretty good. This engine churns out 7bhp at 7,500rpm and maximum torque of 8.1Nm at 5,000rpm.
The Yamaha Fascino competes with the Vespa LX 125, however, it has been priced lower than the Italian.
