Yamaha has risen bike pricing for a record-breaking seventh time this year to close out 2022 on a high note. Details indicate that costs have increased by up to Rs. 352,500. Beginning on January 4, 2022, the new pricing will be in effect.
| Model | Previous Price (Rs.) | Latest Price (Rs.) | Hike (Rs.) |
| YB 125Z | 293,500 | 305,500 | 12,000 |
| YB 125Z DX | 314,500 | 327,000 | 12,500 |
| YBR 125 | 322,500 | 336,000 | 13,500 |
| YBR 125G | 336,000 | 349,500 | 13,500 |
| YBR 125G (Matte Gray) | 339,000 | 352,500 | 13,500 |
As usual, no explanation is given for the most recent price increases. Although the majority of the manufacturing and assembly of bikes take place in Pakistan, important bike parts are imported by businesses like Yamaha and Suzuki.
Yamaha Pakistan imports components like engines; hence its exchange rate is inversely correlated with the dollar exchange rate. In addition, manufacturing may have been impacted by import restrictions, particularly those on CKD kits, leading to the price hike.
In 2022, Yamaha will raise prices seven times. The bike maker has been regularly raising prices since February 2022. Motorcycle retailers and industry professionals predict more price hikes for the upcoming year due to Pakistan’s persistent economic issues.
There is no justification for motorcycle manufacturers to raise prices so regularly and by such wide margins, according to the most current government data, bike production has become extensively localized.
Whatever the cause, businesses, especially those that sell bikes, must explain price increases to customers so they may comprehend why the bikes are so costly. This year’s price hike for Yamaha motorbikes will be the last one, and we anticipate a prosperous auto sector in 2023.
