Soon, the traveling season is coming, and our bike riders will start doing long tours on their motorcycles. Previously, we mentioned how much time it would take you from Lahore to Murree on different motorcycles. In this blog, we’ll cover the traveling expense on different motorcycles from the Lahore to Murree journey.
These expenses don’t just cover the fuel cost only; we’ll include everything, including food and drink, engine oil, fuel, and water.
Note: These costs have been sourced from our multiple team members who frequently do tours from Lahore to Murree on various motorcycles, including the CG125, GR150, and YBR125.
Universal Food Expenses During Journey
Besides fuel and engine oil, food and drink costs will remain universal. Here’s the food and drink breakdown during the Lahore to Murree journey on motorcycle:
The average journey time is 8 hours, so you’ll have to take at least two full meals during the journey, and you’ll take approximately three tea breaks:
- 2-time full meal from a medium-scale dhaba on GT road: Rs.1100/person.
- 3-tea breaks on a medium-scale dhaba on GT road: 280/person
- 2-water breaks (Aquafina 500ml): 140/person
The universal cost: 1,520/person
Now, we’ll calculate each motorcycle expense according to the Lahore to Murree distance, which is 350 km via GT road.
The GS150 is probably Pakistan’s national touring bike, especially in northern areas. Its torque is good, the suspension is smooth, and the seat is just right for long tours.
Here’s the calculation of the traveling expense for GS150:
Fuel economy | 37 Km/l |
Current petrol price | 258.16 /L |
Engine oil price | 1,300 |
Engine oil life | 1,100 Km |
Total Expense | 2935 PKR |
Total Expenses, Including Food | 4455 PKR |
The CG125 might not be the best bike for tours, but people do take it tours. The reason is simple: “cost”. Not everyone can afford YBR, GS and CB150, so CG is their choice for the tour.
Here’s the calculation of the traveling expense for CG125:
Fuel economy | 42 Km/l |
Current petrol price | 258 /L PKR |
Engine oil price | 850 |
Engine oil life | 900 |
Total Expense | 2482 PKR |
Total Expenses, Including Food | 4002 PKR |
The GD110s is a comfortable ride, no doubt, but its underpowered engine and lack of an RPM meter make it a bad touring motorcycle. Still, people use it for long tours, so it’s not that big of an issue.
Here’s the calculation of the traveling expense for GD110s:
Fuel economy | 52 Km/l |
Current petrol price | 258 /L PKR |
Engine oil price | 1,550 |
Engine oil life | 1100 |
Total Expense | 2231 PKR |
Total Expenses, Including Food | 3751 PKR |
The YBR is also a great bike, especially if you want a touring bike with good fuel economy. It’s comfortable, the suspension is smooth, and the engine produces no vibrations at all.
Here’s the calculation of the traveling expense for YBR:
Fuel economy | 56 Km/l |
Current petrol price | 258 /L PKR |
Engine oil price | 1,350 |
Engine oil life | 1000 |
Total Expense | 2086 PKR |
Total Expenses, Including Food | 3606 PKR |
CB150 is indeed the perfect touring bike that money can get you. It’s smooth, offers superior ride quality, and can go anywhere you want.
Here’s the calculation of the traveling expense for CB150F:
Fuel economy | 36 Km/l |
Current petrol price | 258 /L PKR |
Engine oil price | 1,250 |
Engine oil life | 850 |
Total Expense | 3025 PKR |
Total Expenses, Including Food | 4545 PKR |
While the CD70 is a city bike, our people can take it to Khujerab pass, so Murree isn’t an issue for it. Just keep taking breaks during the journey so your back will not hurt.
Here’s the calculation of the traveling expense for CD70:
Fuel economy | 55 Km/l |
Current petrol price | 258 /L PKR |
Engine oil price | 675 |
Engine oil life | 900 |
Total Expense | 1905 PKR |
Total Expenses, Including Food | 3425 PKR |
