Honda CRF300L Now in Nepal – Price Update or Price Shock?

Honda CRF300L and Honda CRF300L Rally are now available for purchase in Nepal.

Syakar Trading Company, the authorized distributor of Honda bikes in Nepal, has updated the pricing for Honda CRF300L and Honda CRF300L Rally in the Nepali market.

It replaced the popular CRF250L lineup, offering an all-new engine, new styling, and new features at a premium price!

It is available in two variants: CRF300L Standard and CRF300L Rally.

What is the Price of the Honda CRF300L in Nepal?

Honda CRF300L price in Nepal starts at Rs. 20.75 Lakhs to Rs. 23.50 Lakhs.

Both CRF300L and CRF300L Rally have gotten price hikes of Rs. 3.25 Lakhs and Rs. 4.00 Lakhs respectively.

Despite the tax reduction in 250cc to 400cc two-wheelers, Honda Nepal went a different direction with the CRF pricing.

Here is the official story from Honda Nepal.

What happened with the Honda Highness CB350 price is happening with the CRF300Ls.

When the government increased tax duties for the 2021/22 Budget, Honda continued to offer the CRF300L for Rs. 17.50 Lakhs and Rs. 19.50 Lakhs without updating the prices.

Honda Nepal has recently imported the new CRF300L under the Budget 2022/23, two years after its original launch. While the tax duties are friendly, the recent inflation plays a considerable role in determining the price. 

Let’s take a quick look at the all-new Honda CRF 300L in Nepal along with its key specifications for 2024

Honda CRF300L Overview

Design

The previous CRF250L inspired the Honda CRF 300L.

The overall styling might feel familiar to an extent. However, there are minor changes all around. More importantly, the bodywork and design are inspired by the CRF450R motocross bike.

It has a smooth transition between the bodywork elements, tank, and seat. Interestingly, it stands out more than the last generation.

The front section gets the standard Halogen Headlamp with Halogen Indicators. Moreover, the rear section is kept simple with a halogen headlamp.

Furthermore, it comes with traditional dirt bike elements like the high-mounted exhaust, larger mudguard, and motocross-style seat. Plus, it now sports polished black rims.
