5 Reasons I love the Fazzio (as a Vespa owner!)

Published 2023-06-06
Finally got to spend a few days with the excellent Yamaha Mio Fazzio 125. Having owned only retro scooters in the Kymco Like 150i and now the Vespa Primavera 150, I was curious about this popular new offering from Yamaha. I have to say, it did not disappoint.

    amusingly, i find fazzio more comfortable to bring than my prev. nmax on long distance travels ^^ probably due to its super lightweight, driver sitting position, and lower height. but yes, the front fork needs adjustment for softer rebound of which some shops offer. also, the rear suspension is a typical config for most stock suspension system of a 125c engine line of which, yes, upgradeable as well. some owners complained about yconnect which drains battery but not; its the startup-stop not being turned off, or grounded bad wiring (if they happened to let their fazzio be modified with electronic accessories).

    No regrets buying one for myself. It's the perfect Japanese retro scoot for daily duties in the metro!

    You sound to good explaining this. You deserve more subscribers! I am impressed.

    Great review & content, new sub'r here. Planning to get our 1st one for my kids & just a starting unit before getting a bigger displacement.

    Great content Sir 👍 subscribed! First time ko makita yung Vespa, na-inlove na agad ako LOL kaso mahal pala. Then, nakita ko sa daan ung mga Fazzio. Buti sir may ganito kang content na nag-compare dun sa dalawa. Potential first time rider here sana at naghahanap hanap pa lang ako ng okay na rides, then nakuha yung attention ko ng mga ganitong vintage style scooter. May time pa naman siguro ako makapag-ipon for Vespa 😅

    Thanks for watching! Fazzio or Vespa owners, have you tried one or the other bike? Do you have anything else to add that I missed in this short video?

    As a fazzio owner, the helmet storing trick is to turn it backwards instead of default facing forward. Some retro random helmet fits actually.

    I’m convinced. I’ll get a Primavera. 👌

    Good review. Last week I purchased the Primavera. Had a Liberty that is a lot like the Fazzio in that it is cheap, gets the job done, rough riding, and looks good. It also has a small fuel tank and short range. The rough riding made my throttle hand hurt after about 45 minutes. While I loved the Liberty, it just wore me down. The Primavera is fun, comfy, plenty of fuel, classy, good fit/finish, smooth, but is pricey. I do like the step through of the Fazzio like the Liberty. The flat floorboard is indeed great for carrying large items.
