Positioned in Yamaha's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2020 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) at 4,500 rpm. With a specific output of 67.3 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (4,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), 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 99 kg (218 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.38 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 supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
