Yamaha Fino 125
The Yamaha Fino 125 has a top speed of ~95 km/h, produces ~8.0 hp and weighs ~96 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
The Yamaha Fino was first introduced in Thailand in 2007 as a retro-styled automatic scooter inspired by classic European designs, targeting urban commuters who wanted style alongside practicality. The Fino 125 variant arrived as an evolution of the original, featuring a larger 125cc Blue Core engine with improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, becoming particularly popular across Southeast Asian markets including Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It remains notable for blending vintage aesthetics with modern fuel-injection technology, making it one of Yamaha's most recognizable lifestyle scooters in the region.

What Buyers Should Know
Fuel Injection Reliability
The Fino 125 uses Yamaha's proven Blue Core fuel-injected engine, delivering around 50-55 km/L fuel efficiency with minimal maintenance needs. Regular valve clearance checks every 8,000 km are key to keeping it running smoothly long-term.
Watch the V-Belt
The CVT V-belt is a known wear item and should be inspected around 20,000–25,000 km, as a snapped belt can leave you stranded unexpectedly. Always ask the seller for belt replacement history before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The Fino 125 holds its resale value well in Southeast Asian markets due to its retro styling and Yamaha's strong brand reputation. A well-maintained unit typically retains 60–70% of its value after two years of use.

Used Buyer Review
"The sensible, stylish urban commuter that rarely disappoints careful buyers."
$1,200-$2,800 usedThe Fino 125 is Yamaha doing what Yamaha does best — building something utterly reliable and then wrapping it in genuinely nice styling. That retro-modern bodywork still turns heads, and the fuel-injected 125cc single pulls cleanly through town without drama. CVT transmission means zero fuss, which is exactly what this scooter promises. Used examples are everywhere, which cuts both ways. Here's what to check before handing over cash: inspect the underside plastic for crack repairs — owners bash these things mercilessly on kerbs. Roll the rear wheel and listen for bearing rumble. Check the belt housing for oil seepage from the variator seal; fixing it isn't expensive but reveals how the bike was maintained. Service history matters more than mileage here. Realistically, this isn't a machine that'll excite experienced riders. It's a practical, pretty urban tool that starts every morning and costs almost nothing to run. Buy one under 15,000 kilometres from a verifiable owner and you've got years of trouble-free commuting. It's genuinely difficult to go wrong.
