    Make : Yamaha
    Model : Fascino

    Scooters have been fast moving forward, adapting into something more than just a means of convenient city commute. They have turned into what can now be a part of one’s style statement. Yamaha has taken this forward with the launch of the Fascino scooter, keeping in mind the fashion-conscious commuter.

    The Yamaha Fascino's looks are a case of love-it or loathe-it design. The body gets a lot of curves and chrome. The headlamp has been given a retro look, and the front apron has large turn indicators. Addition of chrome to the front is eye-catching, but not particularly fascinating. The mudguard is placed slightly high, and the instrument console is large, simple and easy to read. However, like we mentioned in our first look in this year’s June issue, Yamaha could have included a clock on the cluster too.

    What is really pleasant is the fit and finish of the instrument cluster, and everything seems to work well. The mirrors are mounted on chrome stalks, and while they look stylish, they don’t score high on functionality. We wished that they were mounted on slightly wider points, as the rider’s arms kept coming in the way when trying to look behind.
