The 125cc Class Has Never Been More Confusing. Here Is How to Cut Through It.
The 125cc bracket in Pakistan used to be simple. Honda CG125 at one price, a couple of Chinese alternatives cheaper, and nothing much above. In 2026 that is no longer true. The category now runs from PKR 165,000 for a budget 125 all the way past PKR 500,000 for a sporty Suzuki, and several genuinely good options sit at every point in between.
Picking the wrong one is an expensive mistake. A bike that costs PKR 200,000 more than it needs to for your use case is money wasted. A bike that costs PKR 100,000 less but needs servicing in a city you do not live in is a different kind of problem. This guide ranks every realistic 125cc option in 2026 by what you actually get for the money, not by which company paid for the review.
One thing to note before the list: Yamaha exited all motorcycle manufacturing in Pakistan in late 2025. The YBR 125 and YB 125Z are no longer in production locally. Any Yamaha 125 you buy in 2026 is either old dealer stock or a used bike, which matters for how you weigh it.
All 125cc Bikes in Pakistan 2026: Price at a Glance
| Bike | Price | Engine | Fuel Average | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United US 125 | Around PKR 165,000 | 125cc | Around 50 km/l | Tightest budget, first bike |
| Road Prince RP 125 | Around PKR 158,000 | 125cc | Around 50 km/l | Budget commuting |
| Super Power SP 125 | Around PKR 155,000 | 125cc | Around 50 km/l | Budget commuting |
| Honda CG 125 | PKR 238,500 | 124cc OHV | 40 to 45 km/l | Best all-rounder, resale king |
| Honda CG 125S | Around PKR 283,000 to 287,000 | 124cc OHV | 40 to 45 km/l | Self start convenience |
| Suzuki GD 110S | Around PKR 370,000 | 110cc OHC | Around 55 km/l | Fuel economy, city riding |
| Honda CB 125F | PKR 396,900 | 125cc SOHC | Around 35 km/l | Modern sporty commuter |
| Suzuki GS 150 | Around PKR 389,000 | 150cc OHC | Around 55 km/l | Comfort, highway stability |
| Yamaha YB 125Z | Around PKR 424,000 (old stock) | 125cc | Around 50 km/l | Comfort, if you find clean stock |
| Suzuki GSX 125 | PKR 504,900 | 124cc | Claimed 60 km/l | Sporty looks, city style |
All prices are 2026 ex-factory or current dealer figures and exclude registration. Budget brand prices vary between dealers and cities. Yamaha prices reflect remaining stock and used market. Confirm current pricing before buying. Note the GS 150 is technically 150cc but is almost always compared in the 125cc buying decision.
Budget 125cc: Under PKR 200,000
At this end of the market the main names are United, Road Prince, Super Power and similar Chinese-assembled brands. They all use similar engine architectures, similar build quality and similar parts. The honest summary is that they work, they are cheap to run, and they depreciate quickly.
United US 125 at around PKR 165,000 is the most recognised of these and has the widest United service network behind it. It is a fine first bike or a runabout for someone who does not care about resale. The step up to a Honda CG 125 costs roughly PKR 70,000 more new, but the Honda holds its value so much better that over a three year ownership the real-world cost difference is smaller than it first appears.
If your ceiling is genuinely PKR 200,000 and you cannot stretch, the United US 125 is the sensible pick. If you can stretch to PKR 238,500, the Honda CG 125 is a meaningfully better bike in almost every dimension that matters over time.
The Best Value Pick: Honda CG 125 (PKR 238,500)
The Honda CG 125 wins the value-for-money category in the 125cc class and has done for decades, not because it is the most exciting bike but because it is correct in every practical dimension simultaneously.
The engine is a 124cc OHV air-cooled unit that has been refined since 1976 and is now one of the most understood and best-supported engines on the planet. Parts are available in every district of Pakistan, every roadside mechanic can service it, and the resale market is deep and liquid. A two to three year old CG 125 in good condition sells without difficulty and retains a high proportion of its original price.
Fuel average of 40 to 45 km/l in real-world use is not class-leading but is entirely reasonable for a 125cc bike ridden with any mix of city and road. The 2027 model adds a silver colour option alongside red and black, with the same PKR 238,500 price.
CG 125 or CG 125S?
The CG 125S adds electric self start and a 5-speed gearbox for around PKR 45,000 to 50,000 more. If you ride in heavy city traffic or struggle with kick starting in the rain, the upgrade earns itself quickly. If you mostly ride in lighter conditions, the base kick start is entirely adequate and saves you the money.
The Fuel Economy Pick: Suzuki GD 110S (Around PKR 370,000)
Technically 110cc but always discussed in the same breath as 125cc bikes, the Suzuki GD 110S returns a genuine 50 to 55 km/l in normal riding thanks to its OHC engine. It is lighter than a CG 125, easy to manoeuvre in city traffic, and benefits from Suzuki's reputable service network in urban areas.
Where it loses to the Honda is parts availability outside major cities and resale depth. The GD 110S is popular in urban markets but thinner in smaller towns, which matters if you ever need it serviced away from a city. At around PKR 370,000 it is also PKR 130,000 more than a CG 125 for a smaller engine, which only makes sense if urban fuel economy is a genuine daily priority.
The Modern Commuter: Honda CB 125F (PKR 396,900)
The CB 125F is Honda's answer to riders who want something that looks and feels more current than the CG 125 without moving into 150cc territory. Digital instrument cluster, LED lighting, alloy wheels and a more modern riding position distinguish it clearly from the older model.
The engine is a 125cc SOHC unit rather than the CG 125's older OHV design. Real-world fuel average is around 35 km/l, lower than the CG 125, which is worth factoring in at this price point. The CB 125F also costs PKR 158,000 more than the base CG 125, so the extra you are paying is almost entirely for the modern design and features, not for more performance.
For a rider who commutes daily in a city, cares about how the bike looks and feels, and wants Honda reliability and parts access, the CB 125F is a genuinely good bike. For a rider who mainly wants dependable transport and good resale, the CG 125 is harder to argue against at PKR 158,000 less.
The Comfort and Highway Pick: Suzuki GS 150 (Around PKR 389,000)
Strictly 150cc, but it is priced within touching distance of the CB 125F and is almost always in this comparison. The GS 150 offers more displacement, better highway stability, a claimed 55 km/l fuel average and a comfortable, neutral riding position that suits longer daily distances better than most 125cc machines.
If you regularly ride 30 or more kilometres each way, or if you use highways, the GS 150 is worth the stretch from the 125cc bracket. Its main weakness versus Honda is the narrower parts network outside urban centres.
The Style Pick: Suzuki GSX 125 (PKR 504,900)
The most expensive 125cc in Pakistan and the best looking one. The GSX 125 has a genuinely sporty design with disc brakes, alloy rims, sharp bodywork and a stance that draws attention. It is also the most fuel efficient of the Japanese options at a claimed 60 km/l.
It costs more than the Honda CB 125F despite having a smaller engine. Some riders report mild vibration at sustained higher speeds. For a city rider who values design and style above all else and rides mostly urban routes, it is a defensible choice. For anyone doing longer distances or worried about resale outside major cities, the Honda options are more practical.
What About Yamaha?
The YBR 125 and YB 125Z were genuinely good motorcycles, the YBR especially for comfort and refinement. They remain worth considering as used buys if you find a clean, well-maintained example at a fair price. What you need to factor in is that Yamaha ended local assembly of every model it made in Pakistan in late 2025. Parts are still available through authorised dealers for now, but the long-term picture is uncertain. A used Yamaha in 2026 is fine if the price reflects that reality.

The Cost Most Buyers Forget
Every price in this article is ex-factory. Registration, token tax, professional tax and a number plate add roughly 7 to 9 percent on top of whatever the showroom price is. On a Honda CG 125 that is roughly PKR 16,000 to 21,000 more. On a Suzuki GSX 125 it is closer to PKR 35,000 to 45,000. Budget for it before you walk into the showroom, not after. The on-road price calculator works it out for your specific city in about 30 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 125cc bike has the best resale value in Pakistan?
The Honda CG 125 consistently holds its value better than any other 125cc in Pakistan. Its parts network, brand trust and deep used market mean it sells quickly and at a predictable price. The Honda CB 125F also holds up well for the same reasons.
Which 125cc has the best fuel average?
Suzuki claims 60 km/l for the GSX 125, which is the highest declared figure in the class. The GD 110S returns 50 to 55 km/l in typical real-world use. The Honda CG 125 returns 40 to 45 km/l, which is honest and reliable rather than class-leading.
Is a 125cc bike good for long distance?
A 125cc is comfortable for daily commutes and occasional longer runs, but starts to feel strained on extended highway distances. For frequent intercity travel the Suzuki GS 150 is a better choice at this price range, and stepping to 150cc is worth considering if highway riding is a regular requirement.
Can I get a 125cc bike on installments?
Yes. Most banks and motorcycle finance companies offer installment plans on 125cc bikes. Use the bike finance calculator to see what a specific price looks like as a monthly payment at different deposit and tenure combinations.
Is the Honda CG 125 still worth buying in 2026?
Yes, for most buyers. It is not the most exciting or the most feature-rich bike in the class, but it is the most consistently correct across resale, parts, reliability and running cost. For a first bike, a daily commuter, or a bike you plan to keep for several years, it remains the default recommendation in the 125cc class.
