Press release -
Yamaha Motor to Launch New Fino125 in Thailand
IWATA, August 31, 2015 – Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo:7272) announced
today that it will launch the new Fino125 scooter in Thailand in mid-September 2015.
Developed based on the Lively Fino 125 concept, manufacturing and sale of this
125cc scooter will be carried out by Yamaha Motor's Group company, Thai Yamaha
Motor Co., Ltd.(TYM).
The new Fino125 features an air-cooled 125cc engine developed using the BLUE
CORE concept, which delivers both riding enjoyment as well as excellent fuel
efficiency and environmental performance. While the displacement has been
expanded compared to the current 115cc Fino, the new model achieves similar fuel
efficiency and riding performance. This model is another to feature the BLUE CORE
engine, following on from the Grand Filano, launched in 2014, and the GT125,
launched in 2015.
Since its introduction in 2006, the stylish automatic transmission Fino scooter has
become popular across a wide age range of customers in Thailand. With its complete
revamp in 2013, in addition to further refinements in styling and various functions,
the adoption of electronically-controlled fuel injection (FI) delivered significant
improvements in fuel efficiency. Even now, nine years after the first generation was
launched, the Fino is a mainstay product for Yamaha Motor in Thailand.
While clearly inheriting the FinoDNA, the design of the new Fino125 has been
refreshed by 1) diamond-cut lens LED headlights, 2) a new frame ideally matched to
the BLUE CORE engine, and 3) high-grade styling with great attention paid to details.
This model is also compatible with the ethanol fuel (E85) available in Thailand.
Yamaha Motor aims to expand sales in the Thai market through the launch of this
new evolution of the Fino by aiming at customers from their late teens to their 40s.
