  • 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.

  • Honda Atlas to increase prices for all motorcycles from April 1

    Atlas Honda is set to announce another price hike within a month for all of its motorcycles. The manufacturer will increase the prices from Rs2,000 to Rs10,000 for seven variants.

    As per two prominent Atlas Honda motorcycle dealerships in Lahore: Honda Gulberg and Honda Hamiz Bedian, the Association of Pakistan Motorcycle Assemblers (APMA) have already notified all Honda dealerships across Pakistan of the revised prices.

    The imminent price hike is due to the rising cost of raw materials used in production as well as the continuous depreciation of the Pakistani rupee.

    According to the dealerships, the popular Honda CD70 and CD70 Dream variants will see a price hike of Rs2000 which will be sold at Rs99,900 and Rs106,500 respectively from April 1.

    Honda Pridor will be priced at Rs136,900 after an increase of Rs3000 in its existing price of Rs133,900.

    The manager at Honda Gulberg stated that the company will release a formal notification on March 31, 2022, regarding the increase, the new rates will be effective from Friday.

    This hike will place Honda CG 125’s price at almost Rs160,000. It is worth noting that the same bike was priced at Rs134,000 last year in the same period.

    Nick Jonas cracks rib in bike accident

    Nick Jonas has revealed that he cracked a rib and received some bumps and bruises in a recent bike accident, which also led to him being hospitalised. As per details, the singer was hospitalised over the weekend after sustaining an injury on the set of a secret project.

    When The Voice host Carson Daily asked coach Jonas about his accident on Monday’s episode and how he was feeling, Jonas said he was doing okay.

    “I’ve been better, but I’m doing all right,” said Jonas as he held his side. “Cracked rib from a spill on a bike and a few other bumps and bruises. But I just want to go ahead and say that, in case I’m not as physically enthusiastic as I usually am.”

    Turning to fellow coach Blake Shelton, Jonas requested: “Blake, please don’t make me laugh as much, because it hurts to laugh,” to which Shelton said that the singer was “just trying to get sympathy votes on the show.”

    “Yeah, a big elaborate plan,” Jonas shot back.

    Jonas, who is one-third of the group The Jonas Brothers, debuted as a coach during Season 18 of The Voice which aired in Spring 2020. He returned this year for Season 20, which will also be his last as he’s going to be replaced by newly married Ariana Grande next season.

    Meanwhile, Jonas’ love for motorcycles is well-known and the actor also appeared in a recent video for The Voice popping a wheelie on one as he arrived on set for the show.

  • Suzuki increases bike prices for the fourth time in 2020

    Suzuki increases bike prices for the fourth time in 2020

    Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited (PSMC) has increased the prices of its bike for the 4th time this year.

    The first price increased in January and the second came in July. The third one happened a few months ago and the recent one happened to be the fourth.

    The automakers said that depreciating local currency and the COVID-19 has impacted the sales of bikes. The cause of the recent price increase is to meet the operational expenses of the company.

    Though business has started getting normal in recent months after the ease of lockdown, and the rupee has also shown strength against the dollar, prices continue to increase.

    It is pertinent to mention here that PSMC has recorded a quarterly loss in the 3rd quarter of 2020, marking it to be their 8th consecutive quarterly loss.

    In the bike segment, Atlas Honda remains the undisputed king in terms of sales figures, whereas Yamaha is also faring well, although official sales figures are not yet known. PSMC, with its limited product lineup and sky-high prices, continues to struggle to establish itself as a strong competitor for Honda and Yamaha.
