Yamaha Announces Third Price Hike for all its motorcycles in 2023, with the latest hike coming just after Atlas Honda’s announcement of a price increase. The company has raised the prices of its bikes to a whopping Rs. 410,000. The hike affects all Yamaha motorcycle models, with prices increasing between Rs. 13,500 and Rs. 15,500.
Yamaha had only raised prices three times so far this year, but last year, it had increased prices seven times. The frequent price hikes have left many dealers and industry experts anticipating more hikes this year.

Despite a large percentage of bike manufacturing being localized in Pakistan, there seems to be little reason for motorcycle manufacturers to increase prices so frequently and by such large margins. The recent price hikes have made brand-new bikes unaffordable for many buyers, prompting calls for the government to address the issue. However, the concerned parties have yet to respond to these demands.
