Yamaha YBR 125G vs Honda CG 125

The YBR 125G is better equipped but out of production; the CG 125 is new, under warranty and costs about half its last price.

The Yamaha YBR 125G is discontinued, so its figure is the last official price it sold at, not one you can pay for a new bike. Official price as of 1 July 2025. Prices change often; confirm with the dealer.

Our verdict

The YBR 125G's last official price was Rs 490,500 (July 2025) and Yamaha stopped making motorcycles in Pakistan on 9 September 2025. Used asking prices on PakWheels ran from about Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 4.5 lakh in October 2026. The CG 125 is Rs 238,500 new from Atlas Honda.

The YBR 125G has an SOHC engine, 5 gears, self-start, a front disc, block-pattern tyres and a 13-litre tank. The CG 125 has an OHV engine, 4 gears, kick start, drum brakes and a 9.2-litre tank. The Yamaha is the nicer bike to ride.

For a new purchase the CG 125 is the obvious choice. A used YBR 125G can make sense at the right price if you accept uncertain long-term parts and dealer support.

Our pick

Honda CG 125

It is new, under warranty and backed by the strongest parts and resale network.

Specs side by side

A value is marked only where better is clear-cut — a lower price, more cc, a bigger tank, more claimed km/l, more ground clearance, a higher rating, disc over drum, self start over kick — and only when the gap is big enough for a rider to notice. Differences too small to feel, like a cc or two or a tenth of a rating point, are left unmarked. “—” means the figure is not published.

The Yamaha YBR 125G is discontinued, so Rs 490,500 is its last official price (1 July 2025), not a price you can pay for a new bike. The two figures are not like for like, so we call no winner on price.
