Some of you may still be wondering about the difference between motorcycle prices in Jakarta and other cities in Indonesia. If you notice, motorcycle prices in remote areas of Indonesia are often more expensive than motorcycle prices in Jakarta.
One example of a motorcycle price that we can make a comparison is the price of the latest X-Max variant of Yamaha. Price on the road (OTR) Yamaha XMAX Connected as quoted from GridOto.com This turns out to be more expensive by about 1 to 2 million rupiah.
The Yamaha XMAX Connected OTR Jakarta is priced at 66 million rupiah, while in East Java it is priced at 67 to 68 million rupiah.
What exactly is it that makes bikes like the Yamaha XMAX Connected more expensive outside the capital city?
"What makes the OTR price of motorcycles in the regions more expensive are transportation costs and insurance costs," said Rifany Widjaja, Deputy Director of Sales & Marketing of PT Surya Timur Sakti Jatim (STSJ) to the media crew at Paltuding Camping Ground, the foot of Mount Ijen, Banyuwangi some time ago (26/11/2022).
Of course, motorcycle transportation services from the factory to the region not only cost money but also take time.
"Then motorcycle sales in the regions also require area management costs," Rifany explained.
"One of them is the cost for police management," he said.
That's why motorcycle prices in the regions are more expensive than in Jakarta.
The addition of transportation costs, insurance costs, and area management costs that make OTR motorcycle prices in the regions more expensive than OTR Jakarta prices.
