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

- 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).
Thanks for sharing this! It's definitely helpful input for anyone interested in the Fazzio. Especially clearing up the misconception about the Y-Connect being the cause of the battery drain, which is still often repeated.
Super helpful detailed review thanks!
You sound to good explaining this. You deserve more subscribers! I am impressed.
No regrets buying one for myself. It's the perfect Japanese retro scoot for daily duties in the metro!
Tumpak! Wagas ang aliw magkaroon ng munti ngunit magiliw na motorsiklo tulad nito.
Hi po kuya jan loyd
@@FranzGaw lodi pransgao 🤨🤔🥺😫🤩
As a fazzio owner, the helmet storing trick is to turn it backwards instead of default facing forward. Some retro random helmet fits actually.
Nice review and explanation. You've got a new subscriber here. Keep it up bro!🤙
Just searched for a fazzio review now, saw yours among alot of others. Watched this as the most credible 🤙
Hey thanks man! :) Looking to get a scooter? Hehe
thanks for the insight bro!
Sure! Thanks for watching!
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.
Very nice review
great review
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 😅
Thank you sa inputs. Decided na tuloy ako mag labas next year hehehe.
Nice review
We ride a FAZZIO any day around Phuket island.... we love it too! 8)
I LOVE MY FAZZIO.
Period.
I took my fazzio through the bali mountains and can go up on high terrain nicely without issue.
Great video, I’m getting one myself.
Enjoy!! The traffic in Manila has been so bad I've been wishing I had one haha
Always bypass the Auto StopStart feature on any vehicle.
You dont want to wear your starter motor out in half, or less the time.
Kindly review Kymco like Italia 125 for comparison. Thank you
i have a big bike, but this one seems best for daily dayuum, the comfort compared to the vespa can be customized and be almost the same as vespa's with lesser price
I’m convinced. I’ll get a Primavera. 👌
Av Moto Tuning specializes in suspension tuning, brought both my yamaha aerox and fazzio there for front fork tuning and rear shocks replacement which they also tune for free and i must they did an awesome job
Oh cool! I follow them on Facebook. I think definitely worth it upgrading the suspension on these scooters especially considering the value for money options like YSS available.
I watched a few of AV Moto videos & they seem to have a very good handle on theses scooters for suspension.
But remember buying a Vespa then adding shocks front & rear adds $$$ to the cost of a expensive scooter 🛵 🤪
Is it good for long rides?
Fazzio and Filano offer massive value for money, if you want a stylish scooter, with a Vespa-esque design, but don't want to spend a lot.
Ohh the Filano looks good too! Like a bigger Fazzio, hope they bring it to the Philippines.
@@Ride_XP Agree, it's Fazzio's bigger brother. Filano is even looked more like a Vespa because the curves are "smoother" especially when compared to Fazzio's "boxier" silhouette. The price is higher than Fazzio tho, although still not as high as the Vespa, at least here in Indonesia.
Panarea or Like too
@@zenitsuthunder3946 Agree, those two looked great as well, especially Kymco Like IMO. If only Kymco developed their after sales service here in Indonesia, because product-wise, they could compete with Japanese brands.
Hi guys! I used to own the Like 150i. It’s a great bike, and one of the fastest 150s. It never gave me problems, I just found it too stiff and uncomfortable.
No issue on Y apps?
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.
Boss san niyo po nabili ang cp holder ng fazzio? penge naman po ng link naghahanap at need ko po kasi. Salamuch po
Wow 2:13 I just know it got that brake lock, thanks
That rear brake lock is an essential feature Vespas should add. I've had multiple sketchy incline stops where I wished I had it. 😅
Great video as always! 👌
Hahaha yes indeed!!
Most scooters cost less because they don't have the metal body either, I thought, which is why they're lighter in weight. This makes the Vespa a more solid build and safer to ride, in my opinion.
Safer? How?
@@rosscajayon8177abs n
Hahaha? Safe? How? In terms of reliability I'd go for Japanese bike.
Nice one KaMotoFriends 😉 Ride safe.
Hi! I wanna get into riding! Would u advise getting a scooter (thinking Vespa or Fazzio) first before doing a big bike like, say, a Honda Rebel?
Very much so! Scooters are the most practical, but for skill-building a small standard is best (e.g. Keeway Cafe Racer 150, Yamaha XSR155), so it's up to you.
Mee tooo, i love FAZZZIOOOOOO❤❤❤
Can you recommend upgrades for Yamaha Fazzio for it to be more comfy? Thanks!
I'm not super familiar since I don't own one but the YSS rear shock and front fork upgrades might help :) anything to help that suspension perform better!
Hi sir , Im a student living in a fairly slopish area so there's a lot of climhing lol, i dont have that much budget so im stuck between buying a 1st generation aerox or buying a fazzio , which one can you recommend? I hope u respond hihi🎉
Both scooters can handle climbing, but the Aerox will have more torque if you want more acceleration on a slope.
thanks for a good review in english so i can understand.
No kickstart :(
Well said. Gj 👍
Try test riding benelli panarea. Also comfy ☺️
I sold my 2022 Vespa Sprint with TFT because I didn’t enjoy due to its hefty weight and taller seat. I then found a Fazzio which is so nimble to ride due to its light weight and low seat height. It is definitely more fun to ride than a Vespa.
Glad to hear your input! And I'm sure the money freed up is a great bonus as well.
agree! 💯
Best decision! I sold my Vespa too and opted in for Fazzio. Vespa’s swing arm is cringe. Now looking to get RC250i.
When I bought my scoot last March my choices were Aerox and this Fazzio but I ended up buying a Vespa Primavera 150. Did I regret it? Not a single bit. I sometimes wonder what if I have bought the Fazzio instead? That thought alone makes me want to kick myself. 😆
Both the Fazzio and the Vespa or the Primavera to be exact have different target markets. Personally, I think it’s hard to compare them. Because on one side you have the very classic, Italian premium quality motorcycle. And on the other side you got this sort of “trying hard budget meal Piaggio (Fazzio - pun intended). The side mirror alone would tell you the quality of both scoots and Vespa is known for paying attention to even the smallest details.
Another thing about Vespas, the resale value. I would bet one or two years from now a 2nd hand Fazzio would be selling like half of its price. This is a no contest, Vespa is a Vespa. If your budget doesn’t permit you to buy one, then, Fazzio will be your option.
I can name a few brands who copy vespa which is Bristol, kymco and Benelli. Fazzio has a unique bodykit and I can categorize it as a Modern Classic/retro Scoot and not a "vespa wanna be". Kung itabi mo sya sa isang Vespa malalaman mo kung ano yung Vespa sa Fazzio unlike scoots from other brands na mukhang Vespa. As long time owner of vespa (GTS300, Primavera), hnd biro mga nagastos ko pg dating sa upgrade and maintenance. I don't like the looks of the Vespa S125 kc mukhang sporty look so I settled for fazzio instead. Fazzio freed up my money and it's so fun to ride with kc sobrang gaan at hnd hassle kht mgasgasan kc mura lng ang fairings nya. For me personally, Fazzio is good overall for modernity and easy access to parts and support. Vespa after market parts, mechanics, casas are mostly accessable in NCR. If owner ka ng vespa outside NCR lalo na sa malalayong provinces sobrang hirap ibenta yan. First time mo ngkamotor pero bias kna agad hahaha nkakainis yung mga ganito but trust me iiyak ka sa gastos kc sa 22o lng daming vespa owners jan tiis pogi/ganda lng 😁
@@mic663 anong first time ko nagka motor?
@@mic663 ganun po ba sir?, salamat sa honest feedback,
actually ito top 2 sa option ko.
Primavera and Fazzio. napaisip tuloy ako.
@@christiansto.domingo1908halatang first time
Mo nga nagla motor. Albeit di kapa marunong mag kambyo. 😂
@@davodxsuperstar huhuhu first time ko yata magka motor. 😂
Ano ba color ng Fatsiyo mo? 😂
Cope with it dude..
where do you get that clear visor ?
Oh, this came with my helmet, so I'm not sure where to get one on the aftermarket.
Can you recommend this for 5'11 height? Or is it to small for me
My friend who is 6' owns one and is happy with it!
need po ba ng driver’s license to own a Fazzio?
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?
not really a fan of classics esp the vespa. i think they're just overrated. gave it a chance, had fun with it, but I sold it after owning a vespa sprint for a year. its ok but I didnt see why there is so much hype about it.
but this fazzio really made me appreciate the classic design. its features, sleek lines, simplicity, and efficiency really makes sense!
agreed.... and agreed
kymco like 150i or fazzio for comfort?
Based on my experience, Fazzio, but when I had my Kymco I didn’t know how to adjust suspension yet so I’m not 100% sure. But many owners replace their Like 150i shocks with PCX shocks.
Yss k-euro is specifically designed for fazzio and the comfort is worlds apart from the stiffy stocks... Not the fastest scoot at 125cc but gets the job done in style 😎
A must upgrade! And you still save a lot of money compared to other scoots.
I have that exact color on my Fazzio. BTW, can we wax the fazzio?
Yes :)
Honda Giorno 125 with a 4valves engine ang hinihintay ko yun talaga ang the best.

This is a great take!
I'll go for kymco like 125 italia for more retro features and also this is carburator. Easy to fix.
Ah nice! Sounds like a more authentically classic scoot. Almost bought a 125 in 2020 but someone beat me to it so went with the 150i.
Kymco Like looks like a Vespa. Yamaha's Fazzio is a retro-looking scooter but doesn't look like or trying to be a Vespa like the other brands are also doing which sir points out in this video. Vespa and Yamaha's Fazzio are both classic scoots and if you place it beside each other, you can tell at first glance which one is the Vespa and which one is the Fazzio. Great Job Yamaha and its designers of the Fazzio!
Genio is also a great looking retro/classic scooter but what I dont like about it is the color blocking and the fairing on the handle bar looks like the one from the Honda Click.
Its one of my fav options !
Saan mo po nabili gloves niyo sir
Motomarket lang bro, Komine GK-248 Vintage Mesh Gloves
Some or most people says it is 70km/L
👍
Is this yet another bike that will never be sold in the USA?
Probably 😢
I wonder if the "hybrid" is legit or just a gimmick, I haven't seen any photos or videos of it's hybrid system. One video of yamaha just shows the engine and the battery connected, they did not show any instrument or electric motor that actually helps the gas engine. Please correct me if I'm wrong and help me understand.
Sure! That's a great question. I know nothing about the actual technology and you're right, I haven't seen any demo or explainer videos. However, you certainly feel the mild hybrid push from a stop, giving it more off-the-line acceleration than a typical 125.
@@Ride_XP Ahh okay thank you. Have you tried it sa pa ahon? Does it help as well?
According to a friend who owns one, yes if coming from a full stop or nearly a stop. If rolling na, wa epek na raw
Dam good scooty
That it is
This scooter will outlive any Vespa scooter hands down. Its more affordable to maintain and parts abundant. May not have the prestige of those Italian scooters but gets the job done.
Resale value of that Fazzio? Nothing compared to a Vespa. Parts of the Vespa can never be compared to this Fazzio, the side mirror alone is incomparable. 😆
yang panggilid ng fazzio mo katumbas lang ng isang piraso ng side mirror ng vespa ko hahahaha
@@christiansto.domingo1908for a 90k plus scooter resell value doesn’t matter.
Why Fazzio? Have you seen other brands like Beneli, Kymco with same classic style?
i wanted fazzio via cash though but these scalpers marked up those prices upto 115-120k 🤷. That's why id rather buy other brands for that price point, not a fan of OP scalpers. Fazzio is, yeah nice but price is not.
True, that is a concern! My friend in the video was able to get his last week for SRP, so I guess it’s a matter of searching and maybe even more, luck with timing.
My first bike was a Kymco Like 150i actually. Nice fast scooter but super stiff and a bit raw and vibey, and now it’s also a bit expensive. Haven’t tried the Like 125 though!
As for the Benelli, totally subjective, but I see them around and they just don’t grab me. My two cents :)
pretend that you are a vlogger and they will give you that in cash LOL
@@ChibiKeruchan lol hahah got one finally got it for SRP. I almost searched the entire Luzon 🤣
I still prefer Fino when it comes to looks.. Sana ibalik nila with improved engine & added features. 😫
I got a fazzio and my neighbor got vespa 😅
Honda Giorno looks to be the better, but the big question is when can you get one 🙄
Eto first choice ko. Ang problema walang mabilhan ng cash. At ang daming hoarders. Nakakaloko mga presyo. Kaya nauwi ako s vespa. Best decision.
Find that hard to believe 🤔dealer in my area has tons of theses scooters & loves cash 🤑
Engine not liquid cooled
I rode a vespa sprint for 40km. The suspension was terrible!! So stiff! Fazzio suspension is better.
That's strange. I'm guessing the preload may have not been set correctly because the Vespa suspension, especially the front, is a much better spec than the Fazzio. If the Vespa rear shock preload is set very heavy and you are a solo rider on it it will be a very harsh ride.
Also, I'm not sure if the Sprint has a stiffer suspension setup than the Primavera since it's supposed to be the "sporty" version between the two.
Sir, it's not retro looking.. it's more futuristic imo.
Kuya crush po kita hehe
Dito samen its 95,900 🥺🥺😭 ang mahal na hahaha
My negatib po jan, magaan xa madali isakay s van at ma carnap
Yamaha Grand Filano is even better choice.
first it must be practical.
Si tatay mo nag ride din? Sana minsan blog Kayo ni tatay mo ride Kayo sa marilaque maganda view dun?
Sinusubukan ko siya inconvince kahit umangkas pero takot pa eh! Sana balang araw :)

Nice... But nothing like a Vespa.
Its a fraction of the price, what did you expect?
@@user-kt2hl5mf1t - Yes, I understand it's a great option for the money 👍 But if you can buy a Vespa, You won't regret it.
@@JoeDplummer_ the negatib for this one is lightweight its easy to carry on van then go away...
@@JoeDplummer_Yes, if money is not an issue, Vespa will also be my choice.
*No logical argue for vespa fanboy who prefer vespa than fazzio...* 😂😂😂
Bkt yung saken wlang pang lock sa brake 😂
The author said the suspension of vespa is better than the fazzio, I have the same model primavera 150 the suspension is to stiff & bouncy, japanese scooter is better
Suspension performance depends a lot also on the right match between rider weight and preload settings, so that might be a factor.
design? Fazzio > Vespa
gagi pare
lol comparing the fazzio 125 to primavera 150? compare it head-on within it's same class like the vespa s125.
it ain't worth it! considering the price to performance and features, just go with either an xmax/nmax or a honda adv.
Hirap maghanap nyan dito sa Alabang tapos gusto pa nila hulugan🤦
vespa is like an iphone. you pay for the brand.
if i have the money, id rather buy a 250cc suzuki gixxer and still have change to buy accessories.
A vespa is more like an iphone and that fazzio is some android phone...
lobat lagi dahil sa nonsense I connect, sobra tagtag ng front suspension.
so what's your point?
Pointless hahaahahah
Can a 4'10 girl use this? lol
I think so! Just work on your riding technique and it should be more manageable.
Looked like garbage sitting next to the vespa...but then again most scooters do.
Wow 2:13 I just know it got that brake lock, thanks
