Buying a Motorcycle in Zambia
Motorcycles are increasingly popular in Zambia for daily commuting and boda boda (motorcycle taxi) services. The market is dominated by Chinese-made 125cc bikes that cost ZMK 5,000-9,000 new. Genuine Honda motorcycles are more expensive but offer significantly better durability and resale value.
Running Costs
A 125cc motorcycle averages 2-3 litres/100km, making daily commuting extremely affordable. Insurance costs ZMK 300-600/year for third-party cover. Regular servicing (oil change, chain adjustment) costs ZMK 50-150 per visit. Chinese bike parts are cheap; genuine Honda parts cost 2-3x more but last longer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Honda motorcycle cost in Zambia?
Genuine Honda motorcycles range from ZMK 28,000 (CB125F) to ZMK 70,000 (CB300R). Chinese-made Honda CG125 copies cost ZMK 8,000-15,000 new. Used Hondas start from ZMK 4,000. The most popular choice is the Honda CB125F or a Chinese 125cc for daily commuting.
Where can I buy a Honda motorcycle in Zambia?
Authorized Honda dealer is Honda Zambia on Lumumba Road, Lusaka. Chinese-made 125cc bikes are available at motorcycle shops along Cairo Road, Kamwala, and Industrial Road. Used motorcycles can be found on Facebook Marketplace and at second-hand dealers.
Do I need a license to ride a motorcycle in Zambia?
Yes, you need a Category A motorcycle license from RTSA (Road Transport and Safety Agency). The process includes: written test (ZMK 50), practical test (ZMK 100), and license fee (ZMK 150). You must be at least 16 years old. Riding without a license incurs a fine of ZMK 300-600.
Is a Chinese motorcycle good enough for Zambia?
Chinese 125cc motorcycles are the most popular in Zambia due to their low price (ZMK 5,000-9,000). They are adequate for city commuting but less durable than genuine Hondas. Expect 30,000-50,000 km lifespan vs 100,000+ km for genuine Honda. Parts are cheap and widely available.
