The Yamaha Ray ZR 125 has carved a niche for itself in Sri Lanka's competitive scooter segment, appealing to riders looking for a blend of style, performance, and efficiency. With 9 views this month on listings, there's a clear underlying interest in this model, even if the market currently presents some intriguing dynamics. This analysis delves into the latest market data for the Yamaha Ray ZR 125, offering crucial insights for both prospective buyers and sellers in Sri Lanka.
The current market for the Yamaha Ray ZR 125 shows moderate activity with 6 ads posted this month, indicating a consistent, albeit not overwhelming, supply. However, a closer look at the pricing reveals a significant divergence, largely influenced by one highly impactful listing.
Overall Price Statistics (Current Month)
| Metric | Value (Rs.) |
|---|---|
| Minimum Price | 250,000 |
| Maximum Price | 854,900 |
| Average Price | 739,100 |
| Median Price | 839,900 |
| Price Range | 604,900 |
The vast price range of Rs. 604,900 and the significant difference between the average price (Rs. 739,100) and the median price (Rs. 839,900) immediately signal the presence of an outlier. The minimum price of Rs. 250,000 stands out dramatically against the other listings, which are all considerably higher. This single listing heavily skews the average price, making the median a more representative figure for the general market value of the Ray ZR 125.
To provide a clearer picture, we dissect pricing based on key factors: mileage and year of manufacture, and a combined analysis.
Here are the specific listings that form the basis of our analysis:
| Price (Rs.) | Year | Mileage (km) | Listed Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250,000 | 2025 | 2026 | 2/3/2026 |
| 795,000 | 2025 | 4400 | 2/1/2026 |
| 824,900 | 2025 | 2026 | 2/19/2026 |
| 854,900 | 2025 | 1 | 2/22/2026 |
| 854,900 | 2025 | 2026 | 2/9/2026 |
| 854,900 | 2025 | 2026 | 2/19/2026 |
Crucial Observation: All listed vehicles are registered as Year 2025. This means our "year" analysis will focus solely on this specific year, and the "vehicle age" as a depreciation factor is not applicable in the traditional sense. Instead, prices are primarily differentiated by mileage within this "brand new" category. The listing at Rs. 250,000 for a 2025 model with 2026 km is a significant anomaly that needs careful consideration by both buyers and sellers.
Given that all vehicles are from the same year (2025), mileage becomes the most significant differentiator for pricing.
| Mileage Range (km) | Average Price (Rs.) | Number of Listings | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 - 1000 | 854,900 | 1 | Represents virtually new vehicles. |
| 1001 - 3000 | 696,175 | 4 | Highly skewed by the Rs. 250,000 outlier. Excluding the outlier, the average is Rs. 844,900. |
| 3001 - 5000 | 795,000 | 1 | Slightly higher mileage shows a marginal dip from new. |
As all available listings are from the year 2025, the year-based analysis provides a singular snapshot:
| Year | Average Price (Rs.) | Number of Listings | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 739,100 | 6 | Average price for all 2025 models, including the Rs. 250,000 outlier. Excluding outlier, average is Rs. 836,920. |
This matrix combines year and mileage to offer the most precise pricing guidance. Since all current listings are from 2025, the matrix effectively details pricing across different mileage bands for this specific year.
| Year | Mileage Range (km) | Average Price (Rs.) | Number of Listings | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 0 - 1000 | 854,900 | 1 | Top-tier pricing for brand new or barely used Ray ZR 125 models. |
| 2025 | 1001 - 3000 | 696,175 | 4 | This average is severely impacted by the Rs. 250,000 listing. For a realistic market price in this range, expect closer to Rs. 844,900. |
| 2025 | 3001 - 5000 | 795,000 | 1 | Moderate mileage offers a slight discount from brand new, assuming good condition. |
Impact of Mileage on Pricing: With all vehicles being 2025 models, mileage is the primary determinant of price. Very low mileage (0-1000 km) commands the highest prices (around Rs. 854,900), indicating a strong preference for "as good as new" condition. As mileage increases to the 3000-5000 km range, prices show a slight depreciation (around Rs. 795,000). The 1001-3000 km range is heavily distorted by the Rs. 250,000 listing; ignoring this outlier, the price for models in this range remains high, near the brand new price, suggesting that a few thousand kilometers doesn't significantly devalue a recent model.
Impact of Vehicle Age on Pricing: In this particular dataset, all listings are for 2025 models. Therefore, traditional depreciation due to age cannot be observed. The market is currently focused on relatively new or 'future-dated' models (assuming '2025' might imply unregistered or pre-sale status, given current year is likely 2024 or earlier). This implies buyers are willing to pay top dollar for the latest models.
Combined Impact Analysis: For the Yamaha Ray ZR 125 (2025 models), the pricing structure is clear:
Sweet Spots for Buyers: The market, if the Rs. 250,000 listing is an anomaly, primarily offers "near-new" Ray ZR 125s at premium prices. A potential sweet spot for buyers looking to save a bit without sacrificing much condition would be a 2025 model with mileage between 3000-5000 km, which appears to be priced slightly lower than the very low mileage counterparts. The Rs. 250,000 listing, if legitimate and in good condition, represents an unparalleled "sweet spot" but comes with a high degree of suspicion and risk.
Market Activity Levels: With 6 ads posted this month and 9 views, the interest-to-listing ratio is positive (1.5 views per ad). This indicates a healthy level of buyer curiosity for the limited supply, suggesting that well-priced and maintained scooters will find buyers.
The provided data indicates a "decreasing (-100.00% change)" price trend. This is an exceptionally strong and unusual indicator. A 100% decrease would imply prices have fallen to zero, which is not reflected in the current listings. This figure likely represents a dramatic price drop in a previously tracked benchmark, or perhaps a severe downward adjustment in seller expectations or a calculation based on an extreme outlier's removal.
What this means for buyers and sellers:
Navigating the Yamaha Ray ZR 125 market requires a keen eye, especially with the current price dynamics.
Recommended Year + Mileage Combinations:
Best Value Combinations: Currently, the 2025 models with 3001-5000 km offer the most balanced value proposition, providing a relatively new scooter with a slight price reduction.
Price Negotiation Insights:
Selling your Yamaha Ray ZR 125 in this market requires strategic pricing and honest representation.

Market Positioning Advice:
The Sri Lankan market for the Yamaha Ray ZR 125 in the 2025 model year is characterized by high demand for virtually new scooters and a stark pricing anomaly. While most low-mileage 2025 models command premium prices in the Rs. 795,000 - Rs. 854,900 range, the presence of a single Rs. 250,000 listing and a reported "decreasing (-100.00% change)" price trend introduce significant volatility and opportunities for negotiation.
Buyers should proceed with caution, meticulously vetting any exceptionally low-priced listings, while sellers must be realistic with their pricing and actively differentiate their genuine offers from misleading outliers. For both parties, a thorough understanding of mileage-based valuation within this "new" model year segment is paramount to making informed decisions in this dynamic market.
