CD70 Dream 2025: Atlas’s Least Popular Model with a Yellow Theme

In Pakistan, Honda bikes by Atlas hold a significant place in the market, each model serving a different audience. Here’s the general perception:

• CD70: The iconic "national" bike everyone recognizes.
• CG125: The go-to bike for thrill-seekers.
• Pridor: A favorite among the older generation.
• CD70 Dream: The odd one out.

There’s even a running joke about the CD70 Dream: “If you ever feel useless, remember the CD70 Dream exists.” This humor reflects its place as the least popular model in the Atlas lineup, yet Atlas continues to release a new version each year. The 2025 model is here, but realistically, not many will rush to buy it. Here’s what’s new.

What’s New in the 2025 CD70 Dream?

The only noticeable update in the 2025 CD70 Dream is a new set of stickers. No changes in features or performance, just fresh graphics. The price remains at Rs. 168,900, and apart from the design tweak, nothing has been upgraded.

The Yellow Warning Theme in the 2025 Model

Yellow is commonly used for warning signs, and it seems like Atlas is using the new yellow-themed graphics on the CD70 Dream to send a subtle message: “Beware" This is our least-selling model, so think carefully before you buy it.”

The CD70 Dream’s poor popularity means it has a low resale value. If you decide to sell it, finding a buyer will be tough. Most bike dealers won’t even consider taking it, and selling it on platforms like PakWheels might not get you a good return either.

Why Is the CD70 Dream So Unpopular?

The problem isn’t the bike’s quality. In fact, the CD70 Dream’s design, including its seat and headlight, is a step up from the basic CD70. Its overall look is modern and refreshing. However, the market doesn’t embrace it, much like how people feel about finding elaichi (cardamom) in their biryani—it's just not welcomed.

The main issue is the bike’s resale value. While a regular CD70 retains around 90% of its value when resold, the Dream variant only manages to sell at about 60-70%—if you're lucky. This makes it less appealing to buyers who are concerned about long-term value.

Final Thoughts

This review is all in good humor, so no offense intended. If you’ve already purchased a CD70 Dream, just keep in mind that reselling it for a good price might remain a dream. But if you're someone who enjoys the design and isn’t concerned about resale, it could still be the right bike for you!
