PAMA (Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association) reports about the production and sales data of vehicles every month. It includes passenger cars, trucks, buses, three-wheelers, and motorcycles.
According to the report, the most selling motorcycle brands include Atlas Honda, United Motorcycles, Road Prince, Suzuki, and Yamaha. In addition, the specific models of these brands are loved by most of the motorcycle buyers which we will enlist for you in this blog. So, let’s start.
Atlas Honda
Atlas Honda is the leading Japanese motorcycle manufacturer with the highest production and sales ratio. The latest PAMA report mentions the sales figure of this brand as 90,483 out of 90,782 being produced in August, 2024. In simple words, “it is incomparable in terms of production and sales.”
Additionally, it’s crucial to note that within the Atlas Honda lineup, the Honda CD 70 and Honda CG 125 are the most-liked models among buyers. So, let’s have a look at them.
Honda CD70
Every beginner rider in Pakistan prefers to buy a Honda CD70 as his first bike. It is one of the top selling bikes and is known as the national bike of Pakistan due to its affordability, fuel-efficiency, and lower maintenance cost. Furthermore, it has exceptional build quality and is considered as the “best bike in the 70cc category.”
The price of Honda CD 70 in Pakistan is Rs. 157,900. The buyers don’t face difficulty in selling this bike after owning it as it has an excellent resale value. In other words, it has a reliable reputation in the used bikes market as well.
Plus, the bike owners of CD70 don’t need to worry about the spare parts availability and pricing. It has affordable spare parts with readily available mechanics across Pakistan. CD70 has a fuel tank capacity of 8.5 liters with an impressive fuel economy of 55 km/l. Therefore, it is the best choice for urban driving.
Honda CG125
Honda CG125 is the best choice for passionate and young riders of Pakistan. According to the customers’ review, if you want to travel in the city, then there is no better bike than Honda CG125 in the 125cc category. It is reliable in terms of build quality and performance with a price tag of Rs. 234,900.
Furthermore, owning this bike will never make you repent due to its excellent resale value. It is easy to maintain with easy accessible spare parts. It has a fuel tank capacity of 9.2 liters with a fuel average of 45 km/l. However, the customers suggest that a well-tuned CG125 can give 45+km/l depending on the driving style and habits.
Interesting Fact: Honda CG125 even beats Yamaha YBR 125G in a drag race with good initial pick, acceleration and speed. Though YBR has a sportier design, and cutting-edge technology with smooth acceleration , it still cannot beat CG125!
We can say that CG125 is the king of speed and performance with strong vibration and impressive sound.
United Motorcycles
United is second most popular motorcycle brand in the Pakistani market. The total sale figure of United two wheelers in August 2024 is 7,447 with a total production of 8,260. In addition, its two famous motorcycles are United US 70 and United US 100. The details of both these bikes are given below separately.
United US 70
United US 70 is another popular choice for the bike owners after CD70. It comes in the same standard shape like other 70cc motorcycles with good fuel efficiency. However, it is less-efficient in comparison to the Honda CD70.
The price of the United US 70 is Rs. 119,500 in Pakistan, which is affordable compared to its competitors. Consumers prefer buying this bike due to their low budget. It has cheap maintenance expenses and offers convenient access to spare parts. In addition, US 70cc comprises a larger fuel tank capacity of 9 liters as company-claimed fuel economy of 45-50 km/l. People buy it for practical everyday use. It is an ideal option for commuting in cities.
United 100cc
Another economical option in the 100cc Chinese bikes category is United 100cc. United has not brought any significant innovation in the design of its bikes. The United 100cc has had the same shape for years with a price range of Rs. 130,500 and is considered a “street bike.”
Local mechanics can easily replace its parts, and they can tune up its engine at an affordable price. The bike has a petrol capacity of 8.5 liters with a fuel consumption of 45 km/l, as per the company. It is suitable to own this bike for urban commuting.
Road Prince
Road Prince is also a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer. The cumulative sales and production value of this local bike brand in August 2024 is 1,454. Moreover, people usually tend to go toward buying its famous bike model Road Prince Classic 70 due to the lower budget. There are no other pros for buying this Chinese bike.
Road Prince Classic 70
Road Prince Classic 70cc is a local motorcycle with average build quality and fuel consumption. The spare parts and mechanics of this bike are easily available. It has a fuel tank capacity of 11-liter with a lower fuel average of around 45 km/l.
The price of Road Prince Classic 70cc in Pakistan is Rs. 109,500. However, after reading user reviews and suggestions, we can say that it’s better for you to buy a used Honda CD70 in this budget. Furthermore, the users report that Road Prince 70cc is less comfortable and durable.
Suzuki
Suzuki is a famous Japanese automotive brand. PAMA reports total sales of Suzuki two wheelers as 1,906 and total production as 1,682. When discussing its top-selling bikes, the Suzuki GD 110S and Suzuki GS 150 stand out as the most popular and well-known models by the company.

Suzuki GS 150
Majority of people prefer to own Suzuki GS 150 in the 150cc category of motorcycles. They regard it as a popular touring and one of the top selling bikes with reliable grip and performance.
