Yamaha Saluto-Majestic Red

Yamaha Motor India launched the new, refreshed Saluto 125 cc commuter motorcycle today, at a price of INR 54,500 (ex-showroom Delhi).  Along with a new disk brake, the new Yamaha Saluto comes in four new colors, Glory Green, Bold Blue, Dashing White and Majestic Red and will be available at all Yamaha authorized dealers across India.

The new 125cc Saluto’s specs remain unchanged with the same Air cooled, 4 stroke, SOHC, 2- Valve engine based on the Blue Core Engine Development ideal. Armed with the lightest weight in its class at 113 kg, the Saluto boasts of a mileage of 78 kmpl. The new Saluto will be manufactured by Yamaha Motor’s group company, IYM (India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd.) and sold by YMIS (Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt. Ltd.).

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Roy Kurian, Vice President – Sales and Marketing, Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt. Ltd. said: “It has been our hallmark to continually innovate our products to have a strong connect with our customer base and ensure utmost customer delight. The new Saluto is aimed to provide safer and more controlled biking experience for the city traffic conditions. The same will be available in vibrant color schemes and graphics to boost sales and create more excitement amongst customers.”

“The Indian Motorcycle market constitutes about 68% of the total two-wheeler market at 11 million units. Out of this, the 100-125cc motorcycle class is the largest category at 9 million units, comprising almost 83% of the market. This is due to the economical nature of the category (including fuel efficiency and prices) and its practicality as it is highly praised by those purchasing a motorcycle for the first time, for pillion use, or for sharing with the family. The new Saluto is intended to expand sales in the largest demand category in India by offering one of the best fuel economy performances in the 125cc class. We are again very bullish on the new product which we believe will help us maintain the strong growth numbers we have witnessed in the last few years”. He added further.

    Which one is best buy option –Saluto or Honda Livo ? It is unfair to compare them as Saluto is 125 cc vs Livo 110 cc . But they are almost same on the basis of power structure , mileage claimed , tubeless tyers , alloy wheels , self start , basic function console/ meter , high ground clearance , long seats , pass light switch etc and pricing . Now Saluto is also available with disc brake . So I think it will be wise to compare these two bikes for the benefit of common consumers .

  2. It looks a good bike. Now there is another option in 125cc category but designwise it’s a let down. Power too is little on the down side. But a bike in 125cc categories is about efficiency and reliability. Marketing needs to be aggressive…let’s wait if it becomes a mass seller or another failure from Yamaha….Design is uninspiring…
