Honda CG 125 Gold Vs. Yamaha YBR 125G Gold

Yamaha has just launched its YBR 125G in a brand-new golden color, named “YBRG Metallic Yellow” This new release seems to follow in the footsteps of Atlas Honda, who recently introduced a similar color for their CG Gold Edition. This move raises comparisons between the two models, particularly regarding their aesthetics and pricing. Below is a brief comparison between the CG Gold Edition and YBR 125G Metallic Yellow.

Honda CG Gold Edition

Atlas Honda made a bold move after three decades by introducing the CG125 Gold Edition. The updates include golden stickers, golden side covers, and golden exhaust covers. The only notable hardware change is the transparent indicator covers, a shift from the traditional orange ones in the regular CG model. For these minor changes, Atlas Honda charges an additional Rs. 12,000 compared to the regular self-start edition. This update has left many wondering if these adjustments truly justify the price increase.

Price Comparison

First, let’s take a look at the price difference between the two bikes:

Yamaha YBR 125G Metallic Yellow: Rs. 485,000
Honda CG125 Gold Edition: Rs. 292,000

With a significant price difference between the two, it’s important to consider what each model offers in terms of design and features.

Yamaha YBR 125G Metallic Yellow Edition

Similarly, Yamaha decided to refresh its YBR 125G lineup by adding a new color, “Metallic Yellow” Eight years after its initial launch, this color addition aims to keep the YBR brand relevant. While the color looks golden, Yamaha opted to name it “Metallic Yellow” to distinguish itself from Honda’s CG Gold. Interestingly, Yamaha has not increased the price for this new variant, and in fact, the Metallic Yellow edition is Rs. 3,000 cheaper than the grey color option.

Comparison

In conclusion, both Atlas Honda and Yamaha have introduced minor cosmetic changes to their bikes, with varying price points. While Honda added golden elements and a transparent indicator, Yamaha simply brought a new color option to its lineup. With Yamaha offering its new variant at a relatively lower price than its grey edition, the decision between the two bikes largely depends on consumer preference for design and brand loyalty.
