Not staying behind its competitor, Yamaha Motor Pakistan, has also increased its bike prices. As per a notification, the prices will be implemented from April 1st, 2022, so, Happy April Fool, guys.
New Yamaha Bike Prices
The new price of Yamaha YB125Z (Red/Black) is Rs. 210,500 compared to Rs. 201,000, meaning the price has been increased by Rs. 9,500.
The second bike is the Yamaha YB125Z-DX, which also saw a jump of Rs. 9,500 and now it will cost Rs. 226,000 against the last rate of Rs. 216,500.
The third bike is Yamaha YBR 125 (Red/Blue/Black), and this one’s price has been increased by Rs. 9,000, and now you will have to pay Rs. 232,000 now instead of Rs. 223,000.
Meanwhile, the new price of the YBR125G (Red/Black) is Rs. 242,000 compared to Rs. 232,500, meaning the bike has seen a jump of Rs. 9,500.

Reason for Price Hike?
Like before, the company has not presented any reason for this new price jump. As per reports, the devaluation of the Pakistani rupee and expensive steel might be the reasons, but it is hard to understand the repeated price hikes by these companies. None of these companies reduced prices when the dollar rate went down but are very quick to increase once it goes up.
We think the government needs to take some concrete steps to control these continuous price hikes. Currently, it seems that there is no one to stop these manufacturers, and they are increasing prices freely. The bike is considered a ride of a common man, but these rate jumps are taking it out of reach of the people.
