Yamaha Saluto Summary
The Saluto 125 is Yamaha’s premium commuter motorcycle positioned in the 125cc segment. It comes with Yamaha’s 'Blue Core' technology that is offered in the brand’s other models.
The Saluto looks more or less similar to the Yamaha SZ-R and gets all the basic features of a commuter bike. It features a front cowl with windscreen, 7.6-litre fuel tank, large horn and an electric starter. The Saluto 125 comes with telescopic forks up front and dual shocks at the rear. Braking is performed by drum brakes with an option of disc setup for the front. For the 2018 update, the motorcycle features Yamaha’s Unified Braking System (UBS) which partially applies the front brake simultaneously during complete application of the rear brake.
The Yamaha Saluto is powered by a 125cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder, carburetted mill that produces 8.2bhp of power and 9.8Nm of torque. This motor comes mated to a four-speed gearbox. The motorcycle weighs 112kg and the Japanese maker says that with the new 'Blue Core' technology, the Saluto 125 is capable of delivering good fuel economy.
The motorcycle is offered in four colour shades with new graphics. The Yamaha Saluto competes with the Bajaj Discover 125, Hero Super Splendor and Honda CB Shine in India.

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.

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 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).

1. Bought with good hope, but from since i bought 2015 to till date (dec 2019) i didn't see 40+mileage.2. Riding is good but it could be more pickup, single is ok but double riding no pickup.3. Looks very good/awesome. Performance like engine still good condition. And the worst thing is headlight lamp/doom assembly not good, i changed that with the cost around 3.5k. For that i waited for more than 1 month.4. Yamaha is quality parts no doubt about it. But service is terrible. No recommended to buy any yamaha vehicles only for their service centres (that service stations mechanics less knowledge and even don't care about reassembly if once they dismantle the assembled parts.I had experience 3 times headlamp was not fitted properly on the way it was fell down, second time wheel axel was not tightened properly on the way it was lose luckily i observed and tightened by local mechanics. Etc5. Pros. ^good engine, ^good battery 4+years. ^good looking. cons. ^worst service centres all over bangalore ^worst mileage ^less pickup for double riding. Over all 2/5 ratings.

Best when used for commuting only..

Buying experience: the buying experience was hassle free from Dolphin yamaha, goregaon east, mumbai. The delivery was delayed by 5 days but every other thing was good. Received my matte green saluto with disc.Rating: 4/5. Riding experience: to be honest when i bought the bike i had no knowledge of bikes at that time and simply fixed a budget and opted for yamaha as i have trust in them. So when i rode the bike it was a disappointment in terms of performance. It was very weak than a 100 cc bike. But in terms of refinement it was good level. The comfort for both the rider and the pillion is very good.Rating: 4/5 looks: the look is not very special but the matt green model was a good one. Particularly when i bought in 2016 as people were not familiar with the model, they mistaken it for fz. I would say the front part is very nice and the rear is poor in terms of look.Rating: 4/5. Performance: this bike is a very poor performer, particularly in terms of acceleration. All 100 cc bikes accelerate better than this. Due to which overtaking at 50+ kmph will be a big task. The bike hits a top speed of 85 kmph which is again less than most of the 100 cc.Rating: 1/5. Reliability, refinement and durability: i have ridden 28000 kms in 33 months and this machine never felt fatigued. There are situations where i rode in top speed for 200-300 kms straight but this engine is a gem.The engine is so silent and vibration free that in traffic you will scared that the engine is not running, we have to rev to know. Yamaha showed their class here. I think if used for only commuting purpose(the actual purpose of this bike) this bike can last for a lakh kilometer.Rating: 5/5. Servicing and maintenance: the initial service was fine but after 16000 kms i faces throttle response/acceleration problems which the service centers were unable to solve. Even i changed the clutch plate assembly and other minor parts as per the service center guys but problem persisted till 27000 kms after which a mechanic from a service center found that there was dust settled in petrol tank and so in carburetor.Service cost was at higher side considering its performance. On an average the paid service costed me rs.1300. I am using the same tyres till now and the front tyres could run another 7000 kms and rear another 3000 kms. Rating : 3/5 pros: 1. Light weight 2. Very easy handling 3. Reliability and durability 4. Refinement 5. Looks 6. Comfort. Cons: 1. Very poor performance. 2. Bit costly service cost compared to counterparts.

simple elegantly designed .. but 125cc average is not good enough.. not even 45/50 .. is there any other rider feeling the same about the average of the vehicle. if you feel my review is wrong then do suggest some tips ..
