Posted By on Nov 10, 2015 Oh how I miss twisting the throttle of an automatic! No manual shifting, no clutch-lever pulling, just the twisting and moving. Bimbo Isidro told me there’s a Yamaha Mio i 125 waiting at his house to be test-ridden, it was a no-brainer. I’ve been waiting for an automatic for the longest time, and I, watch out for incoming lame attempt at pun, automatically grabbed the chance! A reprieve from the clutch. MESMERISING YUMMY EYE-CANDY MMM! Let me start by the looks.
Yamaha’s marketing strategy, visuals and even the color options say that the Mio i 125 is being marketed to the youngsters. Well, it appealed to me and to anyone I showed it to. There’s something about the edgy design that made me think that this bike transcends the demographic delineation. There’s a humongous “M” on the side of the fairing, proudly saying “I am a Mio!” Yes, the Yamaha Mio is consistently at the top spot in the automatic segment.
Attempts have been, and is being made, to topple the incumbency. That’s just one very big M. Everywhere you look on the bike, there’s an M. The shape of the headlight cowling from a rider’s perspective, the shape of grab bar, not only when you look at it from the saddle, but also from behind. Distinguishable M’s can be found in all the edges. There’s something about the bike that just appeals to across the demographics.
I wouldn’t mind being seen riding one. MAGNIFICENT MACHINE PERORMANCE We’ve seen it decaled on to Yamaha bikes, we may even have heard of it from friends of from the internet. It’s one of Yamaha’s most boasted technological leap, the DIASIL or Die Cast Aluminum Silicon cylinder. The DiASil composition of the cylinder allows the engine to absorb heat more efficiently. We can imagine the revolutions per minute of an engine can range from 1,000 rpm in idling to more than 10,000 rpm while gunning it. With the DiASil, Yamaha bikes delivers more mileage in less fuel through efficiency. What is a Blue Core?
It is the badge attached to a Yamaha motorcycle indicating its engine performance. But let’s do away with the technical side for a while, instead let’s just say, any machine with the Yamaha Blue Core badge is designed to use as lease fuel as possible but yield the most powerful response as possible, resulting is a very fuel-efficient two-wheeled machine. The Mio I 125 can get you to 3-digit speeds. It’s torque-y enough for slithering in and out of jams.
It has a big enough leg room and will house big feet (mine’s a 10-incher). The seat is plush and comfortable.
For Sale Mio Sporty 2015 model. BRANDNEW Yamaha Nmax 155 matte gray. Honda click 150i 2017 model. For sale raider 150 2007 model. SERVICE MANUAL ©2003 by Yamaha Motor Taiwan Co., Ltd. First edition, November 2003. Therefore, anyone who uses this book to perform maintenance and repairs on Yamaha. MODEL LABEL The model label 1 is affixed to the seat.
It’s not easy for everyone to admit but I say scooters are good touring bikes. Good riding position, capacity to carry a lot of stuff.
Now if they will only be fitted with bigger fuel tanks. The underseat compartment is large! It will not be able to fit a full-sized helmet but it’s long, and can fit a 1.75 liter tall bottle of soda (yes I do groceries). I’ve had no problem fitting a change of clothes, a jacket, tools, etc. You can also see 2 basic tools, a screw driver and a spark plug remove, neatly attached at the underside of the seat.
As for the handling and cornering, and as much as I don’t want to use the word, but it is like a toy. It’s so easy and so fun.
Flicking the bike left and right is delightful. But as the warning goes, this is not a toy, so all safety precautions are to be observed. The front disc brake does it job well, while the rear drum brake may even be enough stopping power for a casual relaxed-riding. I am a self-confessed rear braker, much to my riding friends dismay (hey it works for me!), and I can safely say I rarely used the front brake. The drum in the rear is more than enough for me. The Yamaha Mio I 125 comes in 4 yummy color variants: blue, yellow, magenta and black. I have been looking for a scooter that I intend to use for personal commute.
For an SRP of just P69,000.00, this truly appeals to me. I miss the agility and maneuverability of a scooter and can slither its way out of traffic jams. Given a chance (or a deal!), I’d get this. I bought a yamaha souli 125, isa ako sa unang nagkaron mula nung ma-introduce siya nung October 2015. Akala ko normal lang yung dahil first time ko ma-experience yung nagva-vibrate ang front, muntikan ako sumemplang, nabawi ko naman, but the 2nd time hindi ko narecover agad kaya ayun, na-minor accident ako, may tahi sa brow kahit na 30-40 lang ang takbo ko, papano pa kaya kung nasa 50 o mas mabilis pa? Third time, na-encounter ko na naman, akala ko gulong ang may problema. Ngayon, alam ko na na pareho ng sakit ng souli at mioi.
Kakakuha ko lang nito this week.before ako kumuha sobrang nagresearch ako between mio i and beat w/ combi break.beat na sana kukunin ko kaya lang sa availability ng parts mas marami pa rin ang mio i. Beat with combi break may sensor ulit sa throttle, bka in the near future maging problema pa.may kapitbhay din kami na may mio i, muntik n tlgang hindi ito un kunin ko kasi nung dumaan sya sa harap ko habang nkasakay sa mio nya, nadis appoint ako sa ingay dahil sa lakas ng vibration. But i’ m taking the risk. Ngaun habang gingamit ko xa, dahil nasa break in period hindi halos lumalampas sa 40 takbo ko at tahimik pa xa, ayoko munang ihapit ng takbo dahil un din un nasa manual ( basa basa ng manual pag may time, hindi naman illgay un guide n un sa mnual ng walang dahilan) kya in my opinion, nsa tamang paggamit lang ng automatic motorcycles yan. Sa tigas ng manibela topic naman, haha natural bago eh. I got this unit last year.(1year and 3 months now) So far no problem just regular change oil. Honest review 1.
Hindi gaanong makapit stock tire which is common sa mga brand new unit. (I changed to Michellin Street Pilot 80/80 and 90/80) 2. Vibration is normal on front fender, foot board, handle bar even when in idle. Fuel consumption can reach 50km per liter max depends on riding style. Handling is good, but steering is quite difficult sa mga sharp turns base on my experience.
Speed is okay can reach 90km per hour straight in about 20-30secs depends on your throttle grip. Headlight is quite dark (halogen bulb) but does it work. May maririnig kang parang lumalagitik na tunog sa engine part every time na matagal ginamit ang unit. (The noise does not change which i think is normal. Every time mag memenor ka downhill on a flyover you can hear na parang may kumakayod na tunog sa may belt area. Nawawala din yung tunog na kumakayod kapag umarangkada na. ( I ask yamaha technician about this and he said its because of the spacing of pulley of the unit.
I already take this unit in Baler Aurora, Alaminos Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac with no problem at all. So to those asking about the quality of this unit in long ride i hope this explains.
If you plan to get this unit i suggest to go for it if you really like it. One more thing. My advice is to practice braking and proper grip of the units throttle if you are new to automatic because the units acceleration can be tricky and will catch you off guard if you don’t pay attention.
Thanks for reading.
