    Suzuki GR 150 will now cost more than Rs5 lac

    Pak Suzuki, in its latest round of price hikes, has increased the rates of its bikes including the GR150 and other models. This marks the third price hike for the company’s bikes in just four months.

    Starting from April 7, 2023, the new prices will be implemented.

    The GR150, which is one of the popular models from Suzuki, now costs over five lacs, which is an astonishing price for a bike. The company claims that the hike is necessary to cover the increasing costs of production and other related expenses.

    The Suzuki GD 110S, which was previously priced at Rs290,000, has now been given a price tag of Rs322,000 after the hike of Rs32,000. Similarly, the Suzuki GS 150 has undergone a transformation from its previous cost of Rs315,000 to a new price of Rs350,000, thanks to the increase of Rs35,000. The GSX 125, on the other hand, has seen an increase of Rs47,000, taking its previous cost of Rs422,000 to a new high of Rs469,000. Finally, the Suzuki GR150, known for its style and performance, has gone from Rs451,000 to Rs501,000 after a price hike of Rs50,000.

    This increase in prices will undoubtedly affect customers, especially those who rely on these bikes as their primary mode of transportation. It is hoped that the company will take steps to ease the burden on its customers and provide affordable bikes that meet their needs.

  • Honda introduces the CG125 2023 ‘new model’ and it has nothing new

    Honda introduces the CG125 2023 ‘new model’ and it has nothing new

    Due to its durability and powerful engine, the Honda CG125 has been one of Pakistan’s best-selling motorcycles for decades. Despite the fact that the manufacturer has not modified its shape or added any major or small modifications to it in nearly two decades, customers continue to buy it.

    Atlas Honda recently announced a “new model” of the Honda CG125, despite the fact that it has nothing new to offer local buyers. The bike has the same body, motor, tyres, handles, and everything else; the only thing that has been changed is the stickers that are pasted on the fuel tank and side covers.

    Some of the alterations to the engine include a slightly altered head and cylinder, a slightly revised combustion chamber design, a new gear-oil pump drive, a new gear timing drive, and reinforced engine mounting points. These improvements may allow the Honda CG125 to perform slightly better than the previous iteration, but the change in performance may be so minor that a layperson would be unable to tell the difference.

    The bike manufacturer has not raised the price of its bikes in a long time, so the CG125 standard and CG125 SE are priced at Rs179,900 and Rs210,900, respectively.

  • Yamaha increases motorcycle prices for the 5th time in 2022

    Yamaha increases motorcycle prices for the 5th time in 2022

    Yamaha has announced a significant price increase for motorcycles effective from August 1, 2022. All variants from the manufacturer, including the YB 125Z, YB 125Z DX, YBR 125, and YBR 125G, have seen price increases.

    It is important to note that this is the fifth price rise for Yamaha motorcycles in Pakistan since the year 2022 started, with the previous increase occurring in June 2022 and costing more than Rs20,000 for each model.

    The Yamaha YB 125Z will now cost Rs273,000 after an increase of Rs18,000, and the Yamaha YB 125Z DX will cost Rs292,000 after a hike of Rs18,000.

    Similarly, the Yamaha YBR 125’s price has increased by Rs19,500 to Rs300,000. After an increase of Rs20,500 for both models, the price of the Yamaha YBR 125G (Black/Red) is now Rs312,500, and the Yamaha YBR 125G (Gray) is now priced at Rs315,500.

    Nevertheless, this was to be expected, and over the course of 2022, Yamaha Motorcycle prices are predicted to rise by several factors, especially in light of the depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) against the US dollar and the implementation of the Super Tax on the automotive industry.

    There is little justification for motorcycle manufacturers to raise prices so frequently and by such significant margins as bike manufacturing has been localised by up to 94 per cent in Pakistan.

    The depreciation of the local currency caused price hikes across the board in Pakistan’s auto industry, whether it be for cars or two-wheelers, pushing prices out of reach for an average person.

  • Yamaha YBR125G now costs Rs292,000 after Rs26,000 hike

    Yamaha YBR125G now costs Rs292,000 after Rs26,000 hike

    The prices of Yamaha’s motorcycle lineup have increased, with the hike reaching as high as Rs26,500 and the new pricing taking effect from July 1st.

    According to Brecorder, the development comes a day after Atlas Honda raised the prices of its lineup.

    Yamaha’s YB125Z has seen a price hike of Rs23,500, bringing the current cost to Rs255,000. The cost of the YB125Z DX also increased by Rs25,000. The updated cost is Rs273,500.

    After a Rs25,500 price increase, the YBR125 will now be available for Rs280,500. The cost of the YBR125G rose from Rs26,500 to Rs292,000. The cost of the YBR125G (Matte Dark Gray) has also gone up by Rs26,500 and will now be available for Rs295,000.

    Last month, the company similarly raised the price of bikes by between Rs21,000 and Rs23,000. Motorcycle producers at the time cited rising raw material costs, rising international freight charges, and the ongoing depreciation of the rupee as causes.

    Sabir Sheikh, Chairman of the Association of Pakistan Motorcycle Assemblers (APMA), stated that the recently enacted super tax of 10 per cent and the weakening rupee are to blame for the increase.

  • Suzuki Pakistan increases bike prices by up to Rs15,000

    Suzuki Pakistan has announced a massive price increase for its entire motorcycle lineup, following Yamaha and Honda. The new prices are effective from Friday, April 1, 2022.

    The biggest price increase has been announced for the 150cc GR-150 variant, which is now priced at Rs330,000 after getting a massive hike of Rs15,000 in its previous cost of Rs315,000. Considering the size of its engine, this is unquestionably a significant and unjustified increase.

    Suzuki GS-150, one of the most prominent bike in Suzuki’s lineup witnessed a hike of Rs10,000 for both variants (GS-150 and GS-150SE). The base GS-150 costs Rs225,000 after the hike and the upper variant GS-150SE is now priced at Rs242,000, as compared to their earlier prices of Rs215,000 and Rs232,000.

    Moreover, the 110cc variant, Suzuki GD-110s which was previously sold at Rs199,000 will now be offered at Rs207,000, after getting a hike of Rs8,000.

    The motorcycle manufacturer raised the prices of its motorcycles four times in 2021, and this is the first price rise of 2022. Suzuki motorcycle prices were increased by up to Rs28,000 between January and December 2021.

    Bike manufacturers’ pricing hikes have pushed two-wheelers out of reach for most of the country’s population. Despite the fact that the matter has been raised numerous times in the media, the government has yet to take a step in this regard and maintain pricing consistency.
