New taxes lead to hike in motorcycle prices

KARACHI: Prices of Atlas Honda motorcycles have gone up by Rs 2,000 to Rs 6,000 starting July 1, 2025, following the introduction of new taxes in the federal budget for FY2025-26.

Dealers confirmed the increase in motorcycle prices, linking it to the government’s imposition of a one per cent Carbon Levy on imported motorcycle engines.

After the latest revision, Honda’s most popular model, the CD-70, now costs Rs 159,900, while the CD-70 Dream is priced at Rs 170,900, both up by Rs 2,000.

The Pridor model has seen a Rs3,000 hike to Rs211,900.

The CG-125 now sells for Rs238,900, and the CG-125 Self and CG-125s Gold have gone up by Rs4,000 each, priced at Rs286,900 and Rs296,900, respectively.

High-end models like the CB-125F and CB-150F saw a Rs 6,000 jump, now costing Rs 396,900 and Rs 499,900. The CB-150F Special is now priced at Rs 503,900.

Atlas Honda, which controls more than 50 per cent of the country’s motorcycle market, is expected to face backlash as the price surge adds pressure on consumers already burdened by inflation.
