    The rear half of the Yamaha Fascino is designed rather simply, with curves galore. It tapers towards the end and looks rather nice. Chrome under the seat and above the brake lamp adds some bling to the overall appearance of the Fascino. The tail-light assembly takes the shape of a boomerang.

    Yamaha has given the Fascino a 113cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, four-stroke engine that makes 7bhp of power and 0.8kgm torque. This is the lowest power figure among its competition, hence it doesn't come as much of a surprise when you feel the Fascino’s performance isn’t the fastest off the line. But then it does make a comeback, thanks to a strong mid-range that lets you pull well till you reach a reasonable 60kph. Should you pin the throttle, the Fascino is capable enough to touch an indicated 85kph, but it doesn’t sound all too pleased at this point. The Fascino engine, like any other Yamaha motorcycle or scooter powerplant, feels very refined, and vibe-free.
