User Reviews for Yamaha Alpha
Disappointed in the bike's performance
I had high expectations of the Yamaha Alpha when I bought it three months ago. Unfortunately, I have been disappointed in the bike's performance. The mileage is very poor, only giving approximately 20-25 km per litre. The engine is very loud when travelling at speeds below 40 km/h and the fuel indicator is unreliable, often showing empty even when there is still fuel in the tank. The disc brake is also not very effective. In hindsight, I should have gone for the Honda Activa instead.
Reliable family scooter with excellent mileage
Yamaha Alpha has proven itself to be a reliable family scooter with its excellent mileage of 62km/l and a good design. Its headlight, large and comfortable seat, and 21 liter storage capacity make it a great choice for those who don't want to worry about carrying extra baggage. Its engine is powered by 113cc air cooled with continuously variable transmission for smooth acceleration; it may not be the fastest scooter but it does provide a comfortable ride. Its light weight 104 kg and smooth handling make it perfect for riding in the streets and in the traffic. It also has telescopic forks and firm suspension for a safe and secure ride. All in all, Yamaha Alpha is a great choice for those who are looking for an efficient and reliable family scooter.
Vibration and fuel efficiency are major drawbacks
The Yamaha Alpha provides a stylish design, but the quality of the plastic used in the body parts is quite cheap. The engine performance is rather poor, and it is not very fuel efficient either. The ride quality and handling are decent, but there is a lot of vibration in the engine, making it difficult to ride in peace. The brakes are fairly good as well.
The main areas of improvement for the Yamaha Alpha would be the quality of the body parts, its fuel efficiency, and the engine vibration and RPM.
In conclusion, the Yamaha Alpha looks great, but its vibration and fuel efficiency are major drawbacks.
Great choice for those looking for a reliable ride
The scooter is a great choice for those looking for a reliable ride in India. It offers great mileage - up to 40 KMPL, making it one of the most fuel-efficient in its class. The superb built quality means that you can count on it to last you for many years. Plus, the engine is really smooth and gives you a great ride experience. All in all, it's one of the toughest scooters in India that you can buy.
Yamaha Alpha is a good quality product, perfect for families
The Yamaha Alpha is a decent scooter with an attractive dual tone paint scheme and smooth engine. It has good fuel economy and ample boot space, however the engine lacks power and it can be a bit slow from 0-30kmph. The handle doesn't have a brake lock, and the seat is big but not very comfortable. It handles nicely on city roads and highways below 80kmph.
Overall, the Yamaha Alpha is a good quality product, perfect for families. It could be improved with a 125cc engine to give it more power.
