Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE vs Yamaha Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid

Question 1

Q. Which scooter is the best, Fascino 125, NTORQ 125 or Jupiter 125?

Answer

All three scooters are good in their own forte. The Fascino 125 Hybrid is now a well-rounded family-oriented product with some serious poke. It's smarter, quicker, livelier, easier to ride in city traffic, and not to mention, more fuel-efficient! When you factor in the small premium you have to pay over the earlier BS6 model, the Fascino Hybrid makes a lot of sense. Whereas, If you're looking for a fast, fun-to-ride, and feature-rich scooter, the TVS Ntorq 125 is the right choice for you. It still remains the benchmark for performance in its class and the sporty styling adds to its appeal. Our only grouse is the premium pricing post the BS6 update. On the other hand, Jupiter 125 has a top-notch fit and finish levels, External fuel filler on the front apron is extremely convenient, Massive 33 litres of under-seat storage can hold a lot of stuff. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Q. Which is the best between Fascino 125, Access 125 & Activa 125?

Answer

Among the aforementioned options, we would suggest you to opt for the Suzuki Access 125 if you are looking for a brilliant overall package.

Question 6

Q. Which one is best Jupiter or Fascino 125 or Mastero 125?

Answer

All these scooters are good enough and have their own forte. The Jupiter was and remains a fantastic alternative to the best-selling Honda Activa. While the Honda Activa in its 6G avatar comes close to the Jupiter in terms of features, the Jupiter still has the edge when it comes to pricing. We feel that TVS could have equipped the Jupiter with more features to offset the inevitable price hike. It remains our pick as the best 110cc family scooter on sale. With the Yamaha Fascino 125 FI, the Japanese brand has chosen to offer more than just tangible features to justify the hike in BS6 prices. Its fuel-injected engine also promises better mileage and this coupled with the light kerb weight make it among the most easily maneuverable scooters on sale. The Maestro Edge 125 has its set of strengths and weaknesses. Bits motor besides making it the quickest 125cc scooter around, its motor also offers good performance in the city and fantastic overall fuel efficiency. It offers an upright and comfortable riding position and a good balance between ride and handling. But then, the lack of refinement will tire you over longer commutes. And overall build quality, as well as fit-and-finish levels, are definitely sub-par for the segment. You may compare al these scooters accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity.
