Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
Ex-showroom Delhi, the Fascino 125 range runs from ₹81,264 (Drum) to ₹1,00,407 (S) across 3 variants.
That makes it priced 13th lowest among the 26 petrol scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Destini 125 (₹436 more) and the Ray ZR 125 (₹556 more).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹94,200 for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |
|---|---|---|
Drum | ₹81,264 | |
Disc | ₹92,454 | |
S | ₹1,00,407 |
Mileage
Fascino 125's claimed mileage is 49 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 47–49 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.
Among the 25 scooters we have reviewed it ranks 13th for mileage, right on the group average of 49 kmpl.
Engine and ride
Power comes from a 125cc single producing 8.04 bhp and 10.3 Nm, paired with a CVT automatic. At 99 kg the power-to-weight figure is 81 bhp per tonne, which ranks 6 of 25 in its class here.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.
Seat height is a low 780 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Fascino 125 is Yamaha's entry point into scooters, offering a straightforward 125cc, 8.04bhp engine and drum brakes for buyers who want dependable transport without extra frills, starting at ₹81,264. It competes on price and simplicity rather than features.
Riding it every day
At 99kg, it's the lightest scooter in its class, making it easy to handle in tight city lanes and crowded parking areas. Claimed 49kmpl efficiency holds up well at 47-49kmpl in real-world riding, useful for keeping daily running costs low. Idle start-stop helps a little at long traffic signals, though the absence of any digital console or LED lighting is noticeable compared to rivals like the Suzuki Access 125 at similar prices.
What to know before buying
The UBS combi-brake system links the front and rear drum brakes for better balance, but it isn't a substitute for ABS, so braking confidence on wet roads is lower than disc-and-ABS-equipped rivals. Three variants, from base Drum to the S trim, let buyers choose between price and features like a front disc brake. Yamaha's extensive service network across smaller towns makes ownership straightforward even outside major cities.
Who should buy it
First-time riders and budget-focused buyers who want simple, reliable daily transport without paying for features they won't use will find the Fascino 125 a sensible choice. Buyers who want LED lighting or connected features should look at the Ray ZR 125 or rivals like the Access 125 instead.
Features and colours
- Tubeless tyres
- Alloy wheels
- Side-stand engine cut-off
- Idle start-stop
- Under-seat storage
On safety kit the Fascino 125 has tubeless tyres and side-stand engine cut-off.
Against Ray ZR 125, S1 Z or Destini 125, it gets idle start-stop that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: hazard lamps, led daytime running lamp and led tail lamp, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 8 colours: Yellow Cocktail - Drum, Metallic Black, Matte Black - Disc, Dark Matte Blue, Cool Blue Metallic, Metallic Light Green, Metallic Orangish Gray - SPL and Matte Black - Special. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 2 years or 24,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 3,000 km.
Service reach is good: Yamaha has about 2,500 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country.
The Fascino 125 launched in 2026, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
