      <title>Yamaha announces closure of motorcycle manufacturing in Pakistan after decades</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330433893/yamaha-announces-closure-of-motorcycle-manufacturing-in-pakistan-after-decades</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Renowned Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha has announced it will cease production operations in Pakistan, ending a decades-long presence in the local market.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an official notification, Yamaha Motor Pakistan said the decision was made in line with its internal policy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company expressed gratitude to Pakistani riders who made Yamaha a part of their lives, while assuring that after-sales services and spare parts availability will continue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yamaha first entered Pakistan in 1976, with models like the YB100 becoming household names.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2015, the company established a direct manufacturing facility, introducing popular models such as the YBR125, YBR125G, and YB125Z, which gained strong popularity among young riders and biking enthusiasts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Known for its quality and comfort, Yamaha motorcycles have long been considered a reliable choice for long routes and difficult terrains.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On social media, many riders recalled their experiences, saying Yamaha stood out as a trusted option in challenging conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consumers, however, have expressed concerns that Yamaha’s exit will weaken competition in Pakistan’s motorcycle market, raising questions about whether after-sales services will remain at the same level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Pakistan, Yamaha models have been available in multiple variants, with the YB125 series priced between Rs424,000 and Rs485,000 in recent months.&lt;/p&gt;
