Bikes have experienced a boom in interest and appeal due to recent increases in the cost of cars and fuel. Consequently, the Suzuki GSX 125 was one of the new arrivals in Pakistan that I looked forward to the most.
The Suzuki GSX 125 is up against stiff competition from several well-known bikes, one of which is the Yamaha YBR 125. In 2015, the bike made its first appearance, and because it looked modern and had cutting-edge features, it was an instant hit.
This article will compare the two bicycles to determine which offers more bang for your buck. Take a look at these examples:
Suzuki GSX 125
It has a muscular appearance thanks to the sculpted fuel tank and the huge air scoops on the side. The GSX 125 has a more aggressive appearance thanks to its black and silver panels, brushed metal footpeg bracing on either side and big exhaust.
A contemporary rear-mounted rack, body-colored panels on either side of the tail, and a current taillight all contribute to the sleek appearance of the vehicle’s rear end.
Yamaha YBR 125
When it was first introduced, the YBR 125 caused quite a commotion among the public due to its sporty appearance in contrast to the conventional, old-fashioned appearance of bikes like the Honda CG 125.
In addition to these characteristics, it boasts a commanding presence, a stylish fuel tank design with air scoops, and matte-black alloy wheels. A huge exhaust and a few sharp panels that emphasize the sportiness distinguish design elements on the vehicle’s side. The tail of the YBR 125 is similarly elevated, and it sports a sleek taillight, which gives it the appearance of a street bike.
The YBR 125G has a raised front mudguard, a retro-style headlight with a steel brace, suspension boots, and block-pattern tires that are relatively larger than average. All of these features contribute to the bike’s more intimidating appearance.

Verdict
Is there a better deal to be had with the Suzuki GSX 125? Sadly, not even close to being accurate. Even though it offers only a small number of enhancements over the YBR 125, the Suzuki GSX 125 commands a price premium of Rs. 28,000 over the latter.

Everyone in Bangladesh, where the Suzuki GSX 125 was just recently introduced, is in love with its performance; hence, the driving experience may be a decisive factor for certain fans over whether or not to purchase Suzuki’s latest offering.
Because the Suzuki bike does not offer good value for the money, it will be difficult to sell it in Pakistan due to this preference among Pakistani consumers.
