The automobile price hike frenzy has trickled down onto the two-wheeler industry, as evident by Yamaha’s most recent price hike. Although the company did not specify a reason for the hike, it is safe to guess that local currency depreciation is the main culprit.
Starting from Monday, the new prices of all Yamaha bikes will be as follows:
Bikes | Current Prices (Rs.) | Revised Prices (Rs.) | Increase (Rs.) |
YB-125Z | 255,000 | 273,000 | 18,000 |
YB-125Z DX | 273,500 | 292,500 | 19,000 |
YBR-125 | 280,500 | 300,000 | 19,500 |
YBR-125G | 292,000 | 312,500 | 20,500 |
YBR-125G (Matte Dark Gray) | 295,000 | 315,500 | 20,500 |
This is Yamaha’s fourth price hike of 2022. The automaker has been dropping price hike bombs on the public since February 2022. Motorcycle dealers and industry experts have corroborated that more price hikes will occur due to the ongoing economic turmoil in Pakistan.
As per government reports, bike manufacturing has been localized by up to 94 percent in Pakistan, which leaves little reason for motorcycle makers to increase prices on such a frequent basis and by such huge margins.
