An agreement between the Government and the terminals made it possible to incorporate motorcycles into the
Fair Prices
program , a proposal that sets prices for selected models and, at the same time, establishes a guideline for increases of 3.2% per month for others.
The official initiative, which
will keep 13 motorcycles unremarked until the end of May,
covers products from Betamotor, Corven, Dragon, FAMSA, Gilera, Honda, Importadora Mediterránea, Motomel, Mar Maquinarias, Okinoi, Pagoda, Yamaha and Zanella.
In this way, the Government sought to guarantee a new item within the program that is part of
its plan to mitigate inflation
and that aims to regulate increases in certain items in 15 sectors: Mass Consumption, Clothing, Footwear, Home, Construction, Cell Phones , Small household appliances, Education, School basket, Industrial supplies, Textiles, Bicycles, Medicines, Catalog sales and, now also, Motorcycles.
The range that makes up the Fair Prices offer
ranges from 70 cc to 150 cc
(although most belong to the most popular segment of all in the country, the 110 cc), with room for typically urban motorcycles, scooters and some models that fall into the enduro category.
The models that are part of the program
range from $292,990 to $653,900
, VAT included.
As a particularity, in addition, the best-selling motorcycle in the country so far in 2023 is included:
the historic Honda Wave
, present on the list of Fair Prices with two versions, is the leading motorcycle on the market -although it was not the most sold in March-.

As has been the case since 2016, a majority of this push also comes from the national industry: according to Cafam, 94% of the 0km motorcycles sold in March left factories located in the country.
Honda led sales in March
, with 9,547 units, although it was Corven (second on the list by brand, with 7,004 sales) that took first place among the manufacturers of the most popular models: the Energy 110 By Corven totaled 5,010 patents. , well above the 4,202 of the Honda Wave, which nevertheless continues to be the most chosen of the year –13,098–.
