On road price 82000. Mileage 68 . Riding posture very good . I use this bike daily 70 km . My height is 5.11 and good for me. No back pain . But seat is not more comfortable .. Cause seat is slim .. So u need extra work on seat around 2000 rs for more comfort. Breaking is good under this price.. Company give ubs .. Means u can use push foot break n it work front n back both .. Main problem is one parts not available on local market . But in showroom available .. N one think in showroom part cost is very low price.. Yamaha make this bike very smartly tank capacity 450rs tank full n u can cover long distance in this . Coz mileage is too good .. Vibration feel after 60 but u can easily ride 80 km. After 80 u feel not good coz this is not 200 cc .. This only 125. I done 350 km in a day in this bike with pillion .. In hills. Little back pain n shoulder n hips pain i feel. But this is not touring bike. U need do some modification in seat for long ride if u are heavy and healthy. If u are thin no need to modify. Tank also divided in 3 part .. If bike skirt n tank damage u have no need to change tank. U can change only effected part . Tubeless tires . Handle bar position good. Mileage good. More than 60...

While the bike boasts overall commendable qualities, its seating position leaves something to be desired. Riders often find themselves slightly leaning forward, which can be uncomfortable. However, aside from this aspect, the bike performs well in all other aspects Fighter AttitudeIt's really nice, mostly the look of a sports and smooth bike and the average is best. Thank you, Yamaha, for providing the most special bike. It's a favorite because of the look and the price is also affordable for everyone. If my sports bike is the best bike for my budget, then go for it, and everyone thanks me for changing to the right feedback. My riding experience is very good; I use my bike every day to go to work.

Amazing experience of Yamaha Saluto 125 CC
1 year ago
Shivam Kumar
The Yamaha Saluto is an amazing Bike, Comfortable riding on this bike and an easy handling bike. Performance and Look both are amazing in this class bike. The servicing cost is very low. Only time-to-time servicing is done, No extra maintenance cost of this bike. If Yamaha did not close this bike sale, 100% of this bike would be a superb selling bike for Yamaha. Saluto is one of the best mileage, Low maintenance, and service cost riding performance bikes. Request to Yamaha Company please relaunch of Saluto again.

I am using it for approximately 1.5 years, its engine is superb, mileage is good till now, low oil consumption, brakes are awesome, self-start is great and the most likely thing is it looks it's modern looking plus under budget for many middle-class peoples, all riding lovers like me who can not afford above 80000/- could buy this.

I purchased Yamaha Saluto 125 disc in first quarter of 2016. Since then I have driven it for nearly 3 lakh km because I am a salesman. Really this bike is value for money. I never faced any problem on the road because I really take care of it and take my bike for its regular servicing . I never use any low quality or duplicate parts or cheaper engine oil. Still i am getting mileage of 55 km/l in town and 50 to 70 km/l on highways depending on driving speed. I would like to thank the entire team of Yamaha for making this bike the best bike in 125 category.

Tips for other riders
Maintenance is the lifeline of your bike. Few tips to follow. 1. Start your bike in morning with kick instead of self starter and heat your bike for 3 to 5 minutes. 2. Change your Air filter at regular interval @ 3000-4000 kms. 3. Change both brake pads @ 9000 to 15000 kms. 4. Check your Air pressure regularly. 5. Change chain sprocket in 3000 to 40000 km 6. Change suspension oil @ every 70000 km.

Buying experience: I purchased my bike from nalagarh (h.P.), which is a sub-dealer. So, had to visit show-room 2-3 times to get it delivered. However i couldn't get desired colour. Riding experience: Talking about riding experience, as it has (approx.) flat seat, so you'll not feel lazy or tired even after 1-2 hours of driving. Seat is long enough for two persons+1kid. It feels very light while biking due to light plastic material used. Bike head become very shaky while traveling over rough roads or bumps. Looks & performance: Bike has classic & simple design/look, which i personally like. Although i am not happy with its performance as it doesn't seems like 125cc bike. It feels very less power while shifting to 2nd (or 3rd) gear. Now, main reason to choose this bike was its mentioned average (78 kmpl). Although i calculated several times & it falls between 53 to 58 kmpl. Servicing & maintenance: Compared to bajaj/hero/tvs, yamaha service centers are very less in quantity. So even if you've to change your break-leathers, you'll have to search a lot. I personally visited 80kms for 1st four free-services. However servicing quality was good as service technician was well-trained & accurate.Pros:1) long seat2) classy look3) light-weight4) servicing quality is good.Cons:1) shaky bike head while riding.2) doesn't feels like 125cc i.E. Delivered power is less.3) actual average is way lesser than mention average.4) yamaha bike parts & service centres are rare (specially for small towns).

Yamaha losing its name

Both suspensions are stiff too much.Its not comfortable to ride at all. Only good thing is it's mileage. The quality of the plastics used in it is never good. The visor always gets shaking while riding on rough village path. The gear makes a lot of noise at the time of shifting. I am not happy to ride.

When compared to other 125cc bikes, this one is better than to all. Because i am a mechanic. Yamaha is better for the engine while compared to other companies.Its my suggestion. Thank you.

Although i calculated several times & it falls between 53 to 58 kmpl. Servicing & maintenance: Compared to bajaj/hero/tvs, yamaha service centers are very less in quantity. So even if you've to change your break-leathers, you'll have to search a lot. I personally visited 80kms for 1st four free-services. However servicing quality was good as service technician was well-trained & accurate.Pros:1) long seat2) classy look3) light-weight4) servicing quality is good.Cons:1) shaky bike head while riding.2) doesn't feels like 125cc i.E. Delivered power is less.3) actual average is way lesser than mention average.4) yamaha bike parts & service centres are rare (specially for small towns).

Yamaha losing its name

Bidhan Chandra Ghosh
Both suspensions are stiff too much.Its not comfortable to ride at all. Only good thing is it's mileage. The quality of the plastics used in it is never good. The visor always gets shaking while riding on rough village path. The gear makes a lot of noise at the time of shifting. I am not happy to ride.

1.1 such a great bike for all purposes. I will get mileage for this bike 74 kms . I don't create rumor. This bike is same as yamaha fz v1 engine. Sound of the engine is same. When compared to other 125cc bikes, this one is better than to all. Because i am a mechanic. Yamaha is better for the engine while compared to other companies.Its my suggestion. Thank you.

Must change oil between 1500 to 2000kms. Maintain speed below 50kms upto 10,000 kms. And apply oil for chain sprocket one day a week. That's all...

While the bike boasts overall commendable qualities, its seating position leaves something to be desired. Riders often find themselves slightly leaning forward, which can be uncomfortable. However, aside from this aspect, the bike performs well in all other aspects Fighter AttitudeIt's really nice, mostly the look of a sports and smooth bike and the average is best. Thank you, Yamaha, for providing the most special bike. It's a favorite because of the look and the price is also affordable for everyone. If my sports bike is the best bike for my budget, then go for it, and everyone thanks me for changing to the right feedback. My riding experience is very good; I use my bike every day to go to work.

Amazing experience of Yamaha Saluto 125 CC
1 year ago
Shivam Kumar
The Yamaha Saluto is an amazing Bike, Comfortable riding on this bike and an easy handling bike. Performance and Look both are amazing in this class bike. The servicing cost is very low. Only time-to-time servicing is done, No extra maintenance cost of this bike. If Yamaha did not close this bike sale, 100% of this bike would be a superb selling bike for Yamaha. Saluto is one of the best mileage, Low maintenance, and service cost riding performance bikes. Request to Yamaha Company please relaunch of Saluto again.

Yamaha saluto 125 experience
2 years ago
Snehasis Ghosh Mozumder
I am using it for approximately 1.5 years, its engine is superb, mileage is good till now, low oil consumption, brakes are awesome, self-start is great and the most likely thing is it looks it's modern looking plus under budget for many middle-class peoples, all riding lovers like me who can not afford above 80000/- could buy this.

I purchase Yamaha Saluto 125 drum break on 06.07.2019. I review after 3 years of running 35000 km.Pros-Run 40 average speed in local road milage give 72 km/ltr.Sudden pickup is good compared with other bikes in the same range.Con:-Starting problem in winter seasonHalogen light is deemed after a few days.The main problem is the seat is very hard, not comfortable for long distances. Heavy use may be affected by the bone problems.

I trust yamaha engine so i purchased yamaha saluto 110cc. But my bike's engine has a main drawback. It not easy to start, petrol supply to engine is the problem. Engine sound is not good. Bike silencer looks like a old product. It's paint coating is destroyed.

East or west yamaha is the best
3 years ago
Ajit Kumar Mala
I purchased Yamaha Saluto 125 disc in first quarter of 2016. Since then I have driven it for nearly 3 lakh km because I am a salesman. Really this bike is value for money. I never faced any problem on the road because I really take care of it and take my bike for its regular servicing . I never use any low quality or duplicate parts or cheaper engine oil. Still i am getting mileage of 55 km/l in town and 50 to 70 km/l on highways depending on driving speed. I would like to thank the entire team of Yamaha for making this bike the best bike in 125 category.

Tips for other riders
Maintenance is the lifeline of your bike. Few tips to follow. 1. Start your bike in morning with kick instead of self starter and heat your bike for 3 to 5 minutes. 2. Change your Air filter at regular interval @ 3000-4000 kms. 3. Change both brake pads @ 9000 to 15000 kms. 4. Check your Air pressure regularly. 5. Change chain sprocket in 3000 to 40000 km 6. Change suspension oil @ every 70000 km.

Could have been better

Buying experience: I purchased my bike from nalagarh (h.P.), which is a sub-dealer. So, had to visit show-room 2-3 times to get it delivered. However i couldn't get desired colour. Riding experience: Talking about riding experience, as it has (approx.) flat seat, so you'll not feel lazy or tired even after 1-2 hours of driving. Seat is long enough for two persons+1kid. It feels very light while biking due to light plastic material used. Bike head become very shaky while traveling over rough roads or bumps. Looks & performance: Bike has classic & simple design/look, which i personally like. Although i am not happy with its performance as it doesn't seems like 125cc bike. It feels very less power while shifting to 2nd (or 3rd) gear. Now, main reason to choose this bike was its mentioned average (78 kmpl). Although i calculated several times & it falls between 53 to 58 kmpl. Servicing & maintenance: Compared to bajaj/hero/tvs, yamaha service centers are very less in quantity. So even if you've to change your break-leathers, you'll have to search a lot. I personally visited 80kms for 1st four free-services.
