Great reliable scooter – Zippy, cheap to run and reliable. I've done 70000kms and just get the regular services. Recommend for any sort of commuter. Price awesome too of course. Show details
Love it – Cheaper than an electric bike! Been riding it for 7 years and it's very reliable and the chics love it! Show details
Love it – Bought a Torino about ten years ago and love it. No problem at all and very zippy and economical. Just bought a new one for my wife and she is loving it too. Famosa 150cc. Good brand and good quality and service.
Save your money and get a Torino – I was a little dubious when researching this brand as there's little to no information out there, so I relied on reviews from a friend who had one + ones on this site. The verdict: It's excellent, and when you consider the price (less than half the price of a Vespa) it's well worth saving your money and getting one of these. If you're… Read more
wondering top speeds, I'm 85kg and I can get up to about 80kph, which is all you'd ever want really. Small petrol tank (5L) but the point of these is for inner-city or suburban riding anyway so you're never far from a servo.
The service at Scootermondo in Annandale is great too - I'd suggest getting in touch with them.
After sales service – I have a Torino Famosa 150cc which I was fortunate to win at my local RSL club at Gosford, NSW .Recently the speedo counter on the front wheel broke and I had it replaced. No bother to me. When the mechanic replaced it, he noticed another small issue. I contacted Cameron (accounts manager) at Torino by email. He rang me that afternoon and… Read more
insisted he meet me at my home to inspect and replace the part needed.
Well, he did just that. Not only did he replace the part, he also inspected the scooter from front to back. Anything he wasn't happy with, he adjusted and made it right.
I've never met Cameron personally before today. His attention to detail and efforts to make the scooter perfect for my riding pleasure is well beyond any money could buy.
For an accounts manager (obviously mechanic extraordinaire ) as well, to drive so far and make sure all is well with the scooter I WON, is unheard of.
To his manager, I say, look after this man as he is nothing short of sensational and I can see his passion for bikes and passion in the company you have.
Congratulations and Thank you very much.
I am blown away with your level of service.

Perfect scooter, cant live without it – This is my second Torino.I bought a second hand one 7 years ago and traded it in on a 150cc Famosa about two years ago. I have never had any problems with either bike.It is the perfect commuter. Rain hail or shine it starts everytime. I even went away for 8 weeks earlier this year and when I came back it started first go. It is cheap to run and looks the part. 5 stars , 6 if i could! Show details
A Must Have Scooter – I have been riding for nearly 30 years and have had lots of bikes. I currently also own a Yamaha MT09 and strangely I am always on my Torino! This scooter is very powerful and very nimble and easy to ride. It always starts even when I haven't ridden it for months. I use it to go to work, go to the gym and go to the shops. It has lots of room under… Read more
the seat and the back box can take two full bags of groceries. I also use it to on the freeways and it has no trouble keeping up with traffic. My Yamaha is very jealous! Highly recommend this scooter to all riders both seasoned and beginners.
Great for short trips – This is a great scooter to learn on, only had it 3 months, great help & servicing with Cameron of Torino at Stanmore, Sydney. Only fault is the petrol tank, 5 litre is too small, otherwise 5 stars.
