Yamaha drops prices of two wheelers due to GST

Planning to buy a Yamaha scooter or motorcycle? You are in luck as Yamaha has reduced prices of their two wheelers but the gains aren’t significant. Check out how much you save post GST implementation

After the implementation of GST, Yamaha India has now updated its official website with the revised prices of all their motorcycles. The bikes with a displacement lesser than 350cc will now attract a GST of 28 per cent as compared to the earlier 30 per cent. The prices of various motorcycles and scooters have dropped, but only marginally. For instance, the Fascino which retailed at Rs 55,015 earlier is now priced at at Rs 54,593 (both ex-showroom Delhi), making it cheaper by Rs 422.

Similarly, the Yamaha FZ25, which was on sale for Rs 1,20,385 pre-GST, is now available for Rs 1,19335, a reduction of just Rs 1,050. As you can see that the savings on two-wheelers are marginal and not as significant against popular belief. Also the savings are pittance in comparison to the discounts that dealers were dishing out for BS-III vehicles few months back. 

What’s important to note is that while the prices of two-wheelers have gone down, you also need to factor in insurance cost and road tax which has witnessed a hike. We will have to wait till Monday to know the exact effect of the revised tax structure on insurance and road tax, as the on-road price of two wheelers could witness a jump compared to the pre-GST prices.
