while we continue to ride ahead

if you have ever seen a motorcade of VIPs, you would know that motorcyclists always ride ahead while the VIPs cruise in their air-conditioned cars. But better ride some good and reliable Japanese bikes because a 200cc bike which is not even capable of 130km/hr wouldnt fit in a VIP’s motorcade as such convoys tend to move quite fast. (H)

I think you all have understood that how it feels when someone calls you thief & liar ( https://www.pakwheels.com/forumreply_az_TopicID!77454~ForumID!22~page!16~pw.html ).

If you want to discuss Indian bikes versus Pakistani bikes then there is another thread running on PW.https://www.pakwheels.com/forumreply_az_TopicID!85827~ForumID!22~page!4~pw.html

Please continue there;)

Bikes/Motorcycles in Pakistan

March 03, 2007

Did you know that in our neighboring Pakistan,

Bollywood movies and Bollywood movie stars are the rage

Big B's Photo on a Pakistani Billboard

Indian cable TV and soaps are very popular there.It means that most Pakistanis have seen advertisements of our products and therefore aware of the kind of bikes we ride in India.

But how many Indians are aware of the kind of two wheelers available in Pakistan??

I can safely guess that not many Indians know what our neighbors ride. This post will give you a brief picture of the two wheelers available in Pakistan.

The Pakistani Motorcycle industry is at least 20 years behind what is being offered here in India. Two wheeler is virtually a cottage industry in Pakistan with a large number of local small manufacturers present there. A few of those notable names are: Ghani, Sohrab, Excel, Hero, Adam.

There are also three Japanese biggies; Honda (Atlas Honda Limited), Yamaha (Dawood Yamaha Limited) and Suzuki (Suzuki Motorcycle Pakistan Limited )

The Chinese are also present there with their stuff. They entered Pakistan around the early 2000's

Categories of Motorcycles sold in Pakistan

*
70 C.C (Honda CD 70 and its many local and Chinese clones)
*
100 C.C (Honda CD 100, Yamaha Junoon, Suzuki Sprinter)
*
125 C.C (Honda CG 125, Suzuki GS125)
*
150 C.C (Suzuki GS 150)

The 70 C.C segment is by far the most popular in Pakistan. This segment is dominated by the Honda CD70 (belongs to the same family of 100 C.C Hero Honda engines in India). The Suzuki GS 150 is the only 150 C.C model available.

Honda CD70
Honda CD100
Honda CG125

Suzuki Sprinter

Before the Chinese entered the market, the Japanese bikes were priced ridiculously high. The Honda CD70 used to have a price tag of Rs. 58,000 (Pakistani Currency) which is equivalent to around Rs.42,000 (Indian Currency). The price of the Honda CD70 now has been reduced to Rs.54,000 (Pakistani Currency).

Price List:

Japanese Bikes:

*
Yamaha Junoon (100 C.C): Rs. 63,042 (Pakistani currency)
*
Honda CD-70 (70 C.C): Rs. 54,000 (Pakistani currency)
*
Honda CG 125 (125 C.C): Rs. 76,900 (Pakistani currency)

The Chinese 70 C.C's cost around Rs. 42,000-44,000 (Pakistani currency)

The Local 70 C.C's cost around Rs. 37,000-41,000 (Pakistani currency.)

Thats the problem in Pakistan we have an array of useless bikes unlike what you get in india. why can't Pakistan govt allow imports of these bikes... i would right away import an Apache... its because there's no/little competition to the Pak bike industry we r in such shit. I truly hope we can splash india in this segment within the next decade... but for now i just have to congratulate the indian bike makers. Haji Farouk, Multan

intresting info about pakistan bike industry. pakistan needs to open up their minds and industry. they continue to fool themselfs that china is not a threat to their economy. till the time they learn their lessons, india should only wish goodluck to their wisdom. however, when pakistan is ready indian manufacturers should establish bike industry there.

good report Satadal.

   WOW this is excellent. I have always loved indian bikes like this, bajaj, hero and TVS. is there anyway in your opinion that an indian bike can be exported to pakistan? i know it isn't impossible. i know many pakistani garment factory bosses who easily bring in huge machinery from india although its illegal, and they have no trouble getting spares.

   most pakistanis just say NO, CANNOT. but in your opinion or based on your knowledge do you know any way to bring it across the border?

   Think I'm desperate? I guess you have no idea what kind of bikes we get here.

@ Juniad Bro..

Thanks for chipping in with your comments from Pakistan..

Yes, I am very much aware of the Motorcycle Scene in Pakistan.. In fact I had written a post in this blog about the bikes in Pakistan..

Indian Companies are very much eager to start business in Pakistan.. they already sell their bikes in our neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh..

It is the Govt. of Pakistan which have not given their approval. I defintely would not advice you to get these bikes illegally.

   Attn:Payeng

   See, another negative answer. Yeah I can't blame you. Its just the screwed up politicians we have here. I have read of indian cos like bajaj, ashokleyland and tata willing to invest here but the politicians just want to keep doors closed so that the indians 'won't get richer'. And we pay the price, buying crappy chinese bikes or bikes that you'll probably have sold off 20yrs back. Not only that the few monopolies in the bike business won't let indian bikes anywhwre near the border.

   Yet I'm confident I can smuggle one in. all you need here is $$ and the right contacts. but i don't know about registration.

   I can't believe that BANGLADESH is importing Indian bikes. Even they are ahead of us! Can they even afford it?

   Thanks anyway and keep this blog running. it rox.

@Junaid,

Even if you are capable of smuggling one.. you will again have a hard time with spares.

Apart from our neighbouring countries Indian made bikes are exported to countries like Latin America and Indonesia..

The Japanese and the Koreans are already operating in Pakistan, So it is just a matter of Govt. Approval and Willingness for these Indian Bike Makers.

Moreover bilateral trade between our countries will only lead to peace.

Lets all hope for the better.

Hi Junaid (from Karachi),

Yes, the info about the Pak Bike Market was complied from various sites.. Hope I'll be able to visit Karachi one day.


Please mail me with more photos and details about the bike scene in Pakistan.. I'll be glad to recieve it.

Meanwhile I'll try to cover the bike scene of other countries like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh too.. (it would help if someone from those countries could mail me with the pics and details about their bike scene)

@DesiBoy

BEHAVE and refrain from ABUSIVE languages.

I'll never side with you coz I'm a BLUE CROSS member.

Don't abuse LOVEly creatures.

@All Indian PW'ers

Gamez calls Indians MONKEYS... (I looked so cute in his picture :-))

Singh says Indians are liars & thieves (Its not abusing in PW (U))

Imitiaz says Pakistani girls (who rides pillion in dated bikes) are graceful, but our Indian women are not (coz we've stylish bikes)

We have to digest these things.

Why?

We're in PAKwheels, a REAL INTERNATIONAL AUTO FORUM :s.

We should keep quite if some one say 'ALL INDIANS ARE.... SH*T!)

We have to smile when they mock our women (mother/sister/wife)

Think WHAT'LL BE THEIR (Gamez/Singh/True/Green) ANSWER?

If you don't like INSULTING, then GET LOST from PW!

I suggest JUST IGNORE THEM or HAVE FUN WITH THEM!

IF THEY MATTER FOR YOU, THEN LEAVE PAKWHEELS (as KILLMAN did)

WE'RE HERE FOR OUR MAJOR SENSIBLE PWHEELER FRIENDS AND DONT LET FEW PEOPLE TO SPOIL OUR ENTHUSIASM.

Hero Honda cbz extreme

Posted: 2008-01-18 by Lingeswar Rao

The worst bike in the world hero honda cbz
[highlight]
Hi
I am a software engineer working for a reputed MNC
I bought a Hero honda/cbz in march 2007 which is 10 months old till date in hyderabad BHANU AUTOMOBILES, kUKATPALLY.
MY FIRST PROBLEM:
The next morning after my purchase of the bike I noticed that when I apply breaks KATTACK OO KATTACK..... SOUND comes and further more the breaks were not effective ( rear break) I have complained to the service center officials in each and every free service provided by them till now to my surprise the sound is the same and now no rear break. they are least bothered inexperienced mechanics in this show room and head strong guys who dont even know how to talk to a customer.
and about the hero honda managers why to care for the bike ? because their job is over got 66,500Rs
from my valuable earnings and they are inthe race to be the largest selling two wheeler company.
SECOND MAJOR PROBLEM:
At the time of my 4th service I noticed that my bike was loosing paint on the engine side (8 months old)
I complained about it and fought tough with the manager responsible he saw it and changed the
HEAD PART OF THE ENGINE because it was loosing the colour great what a decision and advise .after
that i noticed that some huge sounds coming out from the engine (I travel daily 15kms to my office
both up and down) and today I noticed that the sounds were increasing I had a doubt I went to the senior mechanic nearby for advise he observes some smoke coming out and checks for the engine oil level
and finally advices the ENGINE BORE IS OUT.AND SAYS that the problem is due to the HEAD CHANGE DONE PREVIOUSLY .SO I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW THE NAME OF THE GREAT MAN INEXPERIENCED AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTER MECHANIC (LAXMAN) BHYANU AUTOMOBILES ,KUKATPALLY,HYDERABAD -500072
SO I kindly advise you all friends never never buy
HERO HONDA PRODUCTS.

ATLEAST BY SEEING THIS COMPLAINT i EXPECT
THE SHOW ROOM PEOPLE TO CALL ME AND DO THE NEEDFUL. LETS WAIT AND SEE I AM MOVING TO THE SHOW ROOM NOW FOR A WAR WITH THIS MANAGERS LETUS WAIT AND SEE iWILL UPDATE MY MATTER THE RESPONSE FROM THE MANAGERS IN BHANU AUTOMOBILES.STAY TUNED[/highlight]

As you MIGHT have noticed, this thread is about WORST BIKES OF INDIA, and NOT a comparison between indian/chinese/pakistani/german bikes etc.

So please do the honourable thing, Kindly DO AS YOU PREACH OTHERS

Thank you.

PS: please do stay around on this thread too, greenway might be bringing some more stuff which may be helpful for indians here to know about their own bikes. After all, we dont really know what the owners know. This is the beauty of owner reviews etc, and this is the beauty of PAKwheels and generally internet that it provides the auto enthusiast with the useful info we all need, direct from the user etc.

Very good for Pak wheels too, its google ranking is very high, you can see for yourself if you do a search on google for these useful threads posted here (as a test). I also posted a pic as its amazing (and very good ofcourse)

[GamezBond]

@Balwinder,

Any more info, or other reviews you have will be appreciated

Just posted some above. HTH

@indians here,
