Test Drive of the Yamaha Fascino
Modern consumers place a premium on style in every aspect of their lives, from the clothes they wear to the daily accessories they use. We bikers are no different than any other group; the aesthetics of a motorbike or scooter are among the first things we notice (you’ve got to agree on this).
Styling
The Fascino’s design is so similar to that of the Vespa that many people mistake it for one at first glance. Many, if not most, of the individuals who have asked us this have also mentioned how similar the design is to the Vespa. The design is eye-catching; the sleek shape and shiny chrome accents make it a fashionable choice for individuals who want to travel in style. The vintage headlights, chromed “air vents,” and Yamaha emblem up front make for a fantastic first impression. The scooter’s elegant aesthetic is carried over to the rearview mirrors with a similar chrome and black casing design.
Come to the side, and you can see the contours of the scooter, with chrome finishing here also. The finest perspective is the side view, where the front and rear side panels come close at a place near the footrest but don’t contact each other, which is another unusual item to notice. Near the taillight, right next to the “Blue Core” emblem, is a 3D Fascino logo. This scooter has a unique design at the back that sets it apart from the competition. Overall, we would say the scooter is attractive; particularly the hues that make people turn their heads around while you are on the move. The layout was fantastic, as far as we were concerned.
Ergonomics
Sit on the Fascino, and you’ll feel how soft and comfy the seats are, both for the rider and the pillion, but the pillion has more space to move about. You may relax in an upright, comfortable posture. The rider’s legs have plenty of ability to manoeuvre, and the seat can accommodate riders of varying heights. At last, the pillion has to rely on the grip rails for support. The 21 l of space available under the seat is large enough to store a full-face helmet.
Performance
A 113cc air-cooled single-cylinder 4-stroke SOHC 2-valve engine provides propulsion for the Fascino. The engine is paired with a V-belt automatic transmission, generating 7.1 PS@7500 rpm and 8.1 NM@5000 rpm of power and torque, respectively. There is a carburettor for fueling. Yamaha boasts a respectable 66 kpl fuel economy, and the tank holds 5.2 litres.
Simply thumb starting the scooter will reveal how refined the engine is, courtesy of Yamaha’s innovative “Blue Core” technology. The scooter starts with minimal drama and nearly no vibrations. In motion, the sensation is even more gratifying; the Fascino’s ride quality and smoothness won us over completely. Since the motor’s feedback peaks in the low to mid-rpm range, this area is perfect for riding about town. The telescoping front forks made the scooter surprisingly stable, especially at greater speeds.
Conclusion
The Fascino is surprisingly simple to drive around town. Because of its small weight (just 103 kg), it handled sharp curves without a hitch. Our car’s suspension system handled the bumps on the road with no trouble at all. We were forced to bike in the rain, which went on taunting us the whole time. The weather unaffected the scooter is braking, handling, and starting abilities.
Wet-weather stopping was excellent. Therefore dry-weather stopping should be much better. Very excellent traction was available even in the rain with the MRF tyres. The brakes are a drum on both front and rear, but we anticipated at least a disc/combi-brake; nonetheless, these brakes are adequate to stop the scooter without any trouble.
