After a price increase of Rs21,600 on bikes, the Honda CD-70 is now offered for Rs116,500.
According to Association of Pakistan Motorcycle Assemblers (APMA) Chairman Sabir Shaikh, “We are seeing a decline in bike sales.” Everyone appears to be moving in the wrong direction as four-wheeler commuters board upscale two-wheelers and the latter models descend to 70cc engines.
We are seeing a decline in bike sales in urban areas, Shaikh noted.
