Pakistan has a huge bike industry due to its bulging middle-class population. Each year almost over 1.5 million bikes are sold by different bike manufacturing brands in the country with Atlas Honda being at the top of them all. Unlike the car industry, which is now diversifying after the entry of new carmakers, the local bike industry is much diversified with many brands selling motorcycles in different categories such as 70cc, 125cc, and 150cc.
A large portion of the population uses 70cc bikes as a mode of transportation. However, from the past some time, there is a significant rise in the number of people using 125cc and 150cc bikes. For a long time, Honda dominated the 125cc segment and it was people’s favorite, however, now Yamaha is steadily but surely grabbing the market share. United Autos is also offering a 125cc Euro II bike to consumers. The bike market is very competitive yet there is a lot to be done as well. We will not be talking about people opting for 125 bikes as our main topic for this blog is to tell our readers about options regarding 150cc bikes that they can buy.
