Are you looking to buy a new and upcoming bike in Nepal? Then, this list is definitely for you!

If you are going to buy a new bike later this year, then you should always keep an eye out for the newer upcoming products.

The newer bike offerings bring in the latest hardware, modern technology, and better safety features.

Surely, there are plenty of options available right now. But, it is always more exciting to get your hands on the latest offerings.

Keeping that in mind here’s the complete list of highly anticipated upcoming bikes in Nepal.

New and Upcoming Bikes in Nepal

Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS6

Let’s start the list with the Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS6.

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is powered by the new 349cc, Single-Cylinder, Air-Cooled, SOHC, EFI engine. It can generate a max power of 20.48PS at 6100rpm and a max torque of 27Nm at 4000rpm.

Additionally, it is mated to a 5-speed gearbox with a 13-liter fuel tank.

New Changes

There are plenty of new changes in the upcoming Royal Enfield Classic 350.

Royal Enfield has upgraded to clearer headlamps, improved gear shifters, analog-digital instrument meter, wider tyres, and so much more.

If the previous-gen Classic 350 was good, then the BS6 variant is better!

• Telescopic Suspension (Size Increased) with Twin Shock Absorbers
• Wider Handlebar with New Controls

Expected Launch Date

Royal Enfield had planned an early launch of the highly-anticipated Classic 350 alongside the Meteor 350. However, that got delayed due to the pandemic and international semiconductor shortages.

Nevertheless, there were plans to launch in the next 6-8 months.

Since there was a change in authorized distributors, there may be a slight delay in that predicted timeline.

Royal Enfield Scram 411

Again, it is the newest Royal Enfield Scram 411.

Royal Enfield Himalayan is powered by a 411cc, Single-Cylinder, Air-Cooled, SOHC, FI engine. It can generate a max power of 24.38 PS at 6500rpm and a max torque of 32Nm at 42500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a 5-speed gearbox with a massive 15-liter of fuel tank capacity.

New Changes

Royal Enfield Scram comes with the same engine as seen in the Himalayan. However, there are considerable changes in style and features.

For starters, it features Scrambler inspired body with a lower set headlamp, smaller 19-inch tyres, an off-set instrument console, and more.

Interestingly enough, these changes are enough to reduce the overall dimension of the motorcycle.

Royal Enfield Scram 411 Features Highlight

• 411cc EFI Engine
• Scrambler Styling
• New Funky Colors
• New Analog-Digital Meter
• Impressive 19-inch Front and 17-inch Rear Tubeless Tyres
• Dual Purpose Spoke Wheels
• 200mm Ground Clearance
• Light Weight Body
• Dual-Disc Braking
• Dual-Channel ABS

Expected Launch Date

Royal Enfield Scram 411 is now available in India.

Nevertheless, it will take a year or two before it ultimately arrives in Nepal.

Again, there was a change in authorized distributors. So, the bike might arrive sooner or later than that predicted timeline.

Yezdi Bikes

Moving on, Yezdi Bikes made their official re-entry into the world of motorcycles.

Yezdi bikes are powered by a 334cc, Single-Cylinder, 4 Stroke, Liquid-Cooled DOHC FI engine. It can generate a max power of 29.7 PS at 7300rpm and a max torque of 29 Nm at 6500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a 6-speed Manual transmission with a 12.5 liters fuel tank capacity.

New Changes

Yezdi motorcycles are available in three different flavors: Roadster, Scrambler, and Adventure.

There are subtle differences in powertrain figures despite sharing the same engine. Nevertheless, the three motorcycles each provide a different riding experience.

Plus, these new motorcycles will sit alongside Jawa bikes, creating their own unique experience over their siblings.

Yezdi Bikes Features Highlight

• Iconic Brand
• Refined Fuel Injection Engine (taken from Jawa bikes)
• Muscular Styling
• Continental Dual Channel ABS
• Twin Exhaust Setup
• Street Avatar in Roadster
• Retro Scrambler Avatar in Scrambler
• Off-Road Ready Avatar in Adventure

Expected Launch Date

Agni Moto Inc is the current authorized distributor of Jawa bikes in Nepal.

Previously, there was a year or two gap between Jawa’s launch in the Indian market and the Nepali market. So, it will likely follow that pattern this time around as well.

Hopefully, the company will launch it as soon as possible.

Bajaj Pulsar 250

Next up is the latest Bajaj Pulsar 250.

Bajaj Pulsar 250 is powered by a 249.07cc, Single-Cylinder, 4-stroke, 2-valve, Oil-cooled SOHC FI engine. It can generate a max power of 24.5PS at 8750rpm and a max torque of 21.5Nm at 6500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a 5-speed gearbox with a 14-liter fuel tank capacity!

New Changes

In a daring move, Bajaj discontinued the legendary Bajaj 220F in favor of a newer Pulsar 250.

In doing so, the new Pulsar 250s will sport the newest engine, fresh design, and a rich feature set. It comes with interesting features like the LED Projector Headlamps, Infinity Meter, new 250cc DTSI FI engine, and more!

However, it will be interesting to see if it will match up to the legacy set forth by its predecessors.

• Dual Disc Braking
• Single-Channel ABS

Expected Launch Date

The Pulsar 250 comes in two versions: N250 and F250.

Both bikes will simultaneously launch in Nepal. Unfortunately, Bajaj Nepal has not got the greatest track record in launching the latest products.

We have yet to see the Bajaj products in its BS6 avatars.

Nevertheless, there is a strong indication that the company will launch it by late-2022 or early-2023.

Yamaha FZ 25 2022

Now it is time for the Japanese sportbike, Yamaha FZ 25.

Yamaha FZ 25 is powered by a 249cc, Single-Cylinder, 4-stroke, 2-valve, Air-Cooled, SOHC FI Engine. It can generate a max power of 20.8 PS at 8000rpm and a max torque of 20.1Nm at 6000rpm.

Yamaha FZ 25 has taken a considerable dip in popularity ever since the debut of MT 15. Regardless, it continues to be a good offering for those interested.

That being said, Yamaha FZ 25 isn’t on Yamaha Nepal’s priority list right now.

We will likely see its launch after the arrival of Yamaha R15 v4 and Yamaha FZ X.

Suzuki Gixxer 250 BS6

We have another Japanese brand, Suzuki Gixxer 250 BS6.

Suzuki Gixxer 250 is powered by a 249cc, Single-cylinder, Oil-cooled, 4-valve, SOHC FI engine. It can generate a max power of 26.5PS at 9000rpm and a max torque of 22.6 Nm at 7500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with a 12-liter fuel capacity.

The company has already introduced its BS6 scooters. Hence, it will likely launch the BS6 bikes by mid or late 2022.

It should be noted that there are no major changes between the BS4 and BS6 iterations. So, Suzuki Nepal might have delayed those plans for unwanted price hikes.

Yamaha R15 v4

Coming back to Yamaha, it is the Yamaha R15 v4.

Yamaha R15 v4 is powered by a 155cc, Single-Cylinder, 4-valve, 4-stroke, Liquid-Cooled, SOHC FI engine. It can generate a max power of 18.4PS at 10000rpm and a max torque of 14.2Nm at 7500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with an 11-liter fuel tank capacity.

New Changes

Yamaha R15 v4 will be a different sports bike.

It will come with premium hardware like R7 inspired fairing, a new LCD Digital Display, Quick Shifter, USD Front Forks, and more.

Unfortunately, it will come at a cost.

The current R15 v3 BS6 has crossed the price of Rs. 5 Lakhs. So, the new-gen R15s will be priced higher given the premium hardware and features.

• LED Tail Lamp

Among those, Yamaha Nepal is currently testing out R15 and R15M in the streets of Nepal.

There have been numerous videos on popular social media sites. Those videos showcase R15 v4 with a Nepali number plate.

Judging by that, Yamaha Nepal will likely launch the motorcycle at the end of Baisakh 2079.

Regardless, Yamaha R15 v4 is set to launch sometime this year.

Yamaha MT 15 2022

Moving ahead, it is the Yamaha MT 15 v2.

Yamaha MT 15 is powered by a 155cc, Single-Cylinder, 4-valve, 4-stroke, Liquid-Cooled, SOHC FI engine. It can generate a max power of 18.4PS at 10000rpm and a max torque of 14.2Nm at 7500rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a 6-speed transmission with a 10-liter fuel tank capacity.

New Changes

Yamaha MT 15 2022 will not get as drastic updates as the new R15 v4.

However, Yamaha will likely implement the much-needed upgrades. The new MT will feature Up-side Down Forks, \Aluminium Swing Arm, Bluetooth Connectivity, and new color schemes.

Unfortunately, it still misses out on Dual-Channel ABS.

These changes will put MT 15 closer to the dreaded Rs. 5 Lakhs mark.

• Variable Valve Actuation (VVA)

New Changes

Yamaha FZX is a familiar offering.

It features Bi-Functional LED Projector Headlamp with circular LED DRLs, Metal Fuel Tank, a Larger Digital Meter, Bluetooth Connectivity, and more.

Sadly, it is still an FZS v3 in a different body.

It is unfortunate because FZX will sit around Rs. 4 Lakhs mark. Comparing the performance to price ratio is a disappointment.

Nevertheless, there are still plans to introduce the BS6 bikes by mid or late 2022.

There are no major changes between the BS4 and BS6 iterations. So, Suzuki Nepal might have delayed those plans for unwanted price hikes.

Thoughts on New and Upcoming Bikes in Nepal

That was quite a long list of new and upcoming bikes in Nepal.

We haven’t covered all the potential bikes that might enter the Nepali market. Nonetheless, the majority of brands have yet to introduce their BS6 iterations.

So, you can count them as upcoming motorcycles as well.
