Q. Sir, what is the best features and problems of the saluto as compared to others like honda cb shine, super splendor etc.
  • Mileage and Engine performance are the standout features of Yamaha Saluto. Among the problems, I would say that the brake shoe (disc) is rather thin and gets worn off easily and it doesn't have a pick-up you can be proud of. However, it is the best bike in the economy section. If you want to travel economical and sleep peacefully, Yamaha Saluto is the answer.
  • BestT bike nice pickup.but maintenance problems. Parts not available in market
  • Shaine
Q. Which bike is more lasting among Yamaha Saluto, Honda Shine SP and CB Shine
  • This is a tricky question. As it all comes down to the manner in how an individual handles his bike and uses them. However, having had both the bikes I had sold my old Honda Shine SP for the Yamaha Saluto and it didn't disappoint me. Yes, it's pick up is on the lower side and sometimes one can feel embarrassed when others just zoom past you on the highway. However, if you are looking for a city bike that is easy to manoeuvre and save on, it is the bike to go for. It doesn't give the claimed 78 km/l mileage but if ridden within the economical speed limits it gives you close to 65-68. I ride almost 70 km to n fro work through the busy city streets as well as the open Rajarhat expressway in Kolkata. It has not been a disappointment. In fact, I am overwhelmed with its performance. My bike is now 3 years 6 months old and now I find my bike's chain often turning loose which signifies that I might soon have to replace them. In the 5 years 8 months of my Honda Shine SP, I had to change the chain twice.

    Decent build quality 

    It provides decent build quality and good fit and finishing with good storage space. It gives good riding range and performance and well made riding and handling. It is very easy to handle and with right tyre size and reliable braking and also has user friendly features. This electric scooter gives around 60 km per charge range and the top speed is around 42 kmph but hardware should be improved. It is elegant and beautiful looking electric scooter but has low ground clearance. It is very easy to handle in traffic but feels dated.
