Engineered by Yamaha for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2017 Yamaha Saluto RX relies on a 110 cc (6.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 7.4 HP (5.4 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.5 Nm (6.3 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 67.3 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Saluto RX measures 98 kg (216 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13.24 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,255 mm (49.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.2-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.22 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 590 km (367 miles) between fill-ups.
